Man A Triune Being

[psalms 91]

Man like God is a triune being divided into spirit, soul, and body. In another thread I stated that the body goes to the grave, the soul to its place (either heaven or hell), and the spirit returns unto God. Scripture is pretty clear on this so what I would like to discuss is the fact that every man has a spirit that returns unto God. Does that debunk the theory that God only saves some and not others or does the fact that we all have the spirit of God in us mean that we are given free will and that all men have a chance at salvation? Personally I believe that we all have that opportunity.

That's not like the Trinity, however, except for the number three.

Correct.
The Trinity is one being in 3 separate person's: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
The analogy is not connected and is not, therefore, usable.

OK use this. We are divided into three parts and the trinity is three as well. Now can we get to the question I posed. Did not realize it would be taken any way but the way I intended, should know better by now

Nope.
Your conjecture doesn't make sense to me. Therefore I will opt out.

Sort of figured you would since it poses a question to your theology thatyou cannot answer and still hold to it

No, you start with a false conjecture that makes no sense. I would be arguing a hypothetical nonsense. You are free to consider a false conjecture if you wish.

And you are free to deflect, as I said it destroys your theology so I expect you to avoid it.

I'm not deflecting. I'm attempting to politely say your conjecture is utterly moronic.

Many people believe we are triune beings. Spirit, Body and Soul, I just can't understand the difference between soul and spirit... I would call it more so a duality flesh opposed to spirit...

I second that...

The person [hypostasis] has a soul...
The heart of the person [his center] is his spirit...
Purification of the heart is the path of discipleship...
Subjecting the soul to denial of self...
That God unite with her...

There is, iow, a distinction between heart and soul...
Both direct the body (or not)
But the soul and the heart do not separate...

Scripture is pretty clear on this

Can you provide some scriptural quotes on the matter, that you consider clarifying?

Sorry I dont know chapter and verse. Perhaps someone else might know. I do know that it talks about the soul and where it might go, the spirit that returns unto God in another place and the body in the grave which is in another. That was what I was referring to

The difference between soul and spirit is musical genre...

Correct. God is Three persons. We are three parts.
