mind body dualism in the bible

Dualism is defined as the state of being composed of two parts. It often refers to the idea that man has two natures: physical (body) and spiritual (soul). Dualism considers the physical to be evil and only the spirit or soul to be good. We will take a look at how different passages from the Bible show the soul and body separation. It is present in many aspects including sexually, politically, and socially. The message …

…The Bible clearly teaches that God created both our soul through his breath of life and our bodies through the earth. They have both been affected by sin and both will be redeemed if the person believes in Christ, follows the teachings, and remains moral. We must not devalue the physical, calling it bad or evil. God created the body and the soul and we cannot call bad what God has called good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
