[Shincheonji Answer 10]
Are the Spirit and Soul?
- Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 10.
What are the spirit and soul?
The question regarding the spirit and the soul is both easy and difficult at the same time. How can a person, whose entrance to heaven is blocked because of sin, understand the spirit and soul? It also should be known there are two kinds of entities, whose spirit and soul, are united. How can people of this world understand this?
Wherever there are water and light, there is also a soul.
This soul is the life of all creation. However,
the spirit is an entity who controls the life of all creation. If necessary, there are times when a spirit works through living things (such as animals or plants) besides people; but generally, this is not the case. People have souls, but the question is to whom does the spirit and soul belong?
What I am saying is there are two kinds of gods (spirits). Mr. Lee Byungcheol has dealt with people who have a lot of money and power. How much have you dealt with God or the poor? There is an old song with lyrics that say, “A person who has possessions but cannot use them is the beggar amongst beggars, but the person who does not have anything, yet lives well, is the hero of immortal rivers and mountains.” How much money and power do you have right now, Mr. Lee Byungcheol? You don’t have anything. Whether poor or rich, are they not the same?
Why did people, who have the spirit and soul, kill all the messengers God sent for the past six thousand years? To who do the spirits and souls of those who kill belong, which would cause them to commit such evil? The answer lies in the fact that they do not belong to God.
A spirit could go out and wander around in a dream but the soul is with the body. A spirit can even fly. This spirit controls and leads the soul, that is, the living person. Not only this, the spirit could even meet the spirit of a dead person. When a person dies, the spirit and the soul leave the flesh. If my spirit unites with the spirit of evil, then it is thrown into a chaotic state; and even if I know it is wrong, I could do an evil act because of the spirit of evil, which has captured me.
The soul and spirit is the life and mind within the body!
