Being Human

Systematic Theology - Lesson 77 - The Doctrine of Man: Being Human - Body, Soul, and Spirit - Genesis 2:7. Various terms are used to refer to human persons in Scripture. Five of the more common terms include body, soul, spirit, heart, and conscience. And there are three views of the human constitution: Monism, Dichotomism, and Trichotomism. We have been created as a complex unity with a material element (physical body) and an immaterial element (soul/spirit) that survives after the physical element dies and will be reunited with it at the resurrection.
