Sod (סוֹד) – Biblical term for ‘survey’ or ‘secret counsel’

Psalm 8:3 – If we consider man and creation, we can see the light of God or know that there is a God. (Ordinary light)
“Intelligent Shaper” “Intelligent Pattern”
 “Has a shape and is very intelligent” We can see in verse 3 of the universe, the sun, the moon and the earth and the planets – David also understood this and at the same time all living beings also have a pattern or shape.
If there is a shape or pattern, then it also tells us that there is an intelligent person who gives the shape or pattern.
If there is a clock, mobile, map, picture, more than that, because the shape of the universe and the human race have a pattern in living beings, there is or is a shaper, a patterning intelligent person and He is God.
According to evolution, one must have come from an inanimate thing, it must have come from bacteria, a monkey, and man (they say millions of years, but they do not say why, it is proven).
 There is no creature without a brain, a person without any organ dies.
 Without all the organs, one cannot survive – such as the heart, liver, kidneys, blood, brain, etc.
 Without all of them, one cannot survive (as we know very well).
 It did not come about through evolution, God, the creator of the mind, created man all at once.

Let’s read Psalm 8:5-8.
We can find order in God’s creation and also in the church and God.
 God
 Angels
 Humans
 Creatures and Creation
 Father, Son, Holy Spirit, equal in one and order
 The elect and the fallen angels
 Satan and evil spirits
This order is explained in Psalm 8:5-8. (And mainly Genesis 1:26)
We can still experience this order today. The animal world is afraid of man (for example, snakes).
This teaching is explained by referring to Psalm 8 in Hebrews and in the chapter.
Hebrews 2:9- We can find that Jesus took this human order for a while when he became a man.
But now believers (the saved)
 Triune God
 Believers
 Angels
 Unbelievers  Since
the animal world and creation are in Christ, Hebrews 2 chapter 2 Christ is greater than the angels (1 Corinthians 6:2-4) verse by verse, lower than the angels while in the world (practical) we can find an order in the church and family or in marriage. 1 Corinthians 11:3.  God the Father  Christ  Holy Spirit  Male  Female Now we have learned a little about what man is. Man is special. In Genesis 1 and 2 chapters – God created Adam and Eve and now all the children of Adam and Eve. Acts 17:26 – Paul also says the same thing that all nations were created from one blood. (Romans 5:12 onwards is also explained. On the 6th day of creation, God created man. Adam and Eve are real people. (Genesis 4:1-5/Luke 3:38/Romans 5:14/1 Corinthians 15:22 and 45/1 Thessalonians 2:13-14) Now let’s look briefly at how God created man. It is mentioned in Genesis 1:26-27. 1) Other creatures are not described in this way. This means that man is His special creation. 2) So that man can know, study, and understand, and we can see the same thing happening today. 2:5- He created with a purpose, man is responsible to God and to creation. The main hand in weakening his position towards God is that of humans, and other animals have not spoiled him. In verse 7 – 7 – The physical aspect of man refers to the body, which is made from the dust of the earth. Chemistry tells us that when chemists found some amazing similarities between the chemical composition of the earth and the chemical composition of the human body. Important chemicals necessary for the formation of the human body can also be found in the earth. Such as – 

That is why Psalm 103:14 – For he knoweth the formation of us: he remembereth that we are dust.
(Also found in Ecclesiastes 12:7)
(Source above – Balam nyam kabashma kashlaba ayalayachmaka tajabha byatajayachtath ya tajabha dyashadbhi mch. 
Genesis 2:7 This is a very beautiful body that God made.
God took a lump of the dust of the ground and formed it into a human body.
But until God breathed the breath of life into it in verse 7, it was just a lifeless body.
Now the soul and body come to life only when God breathes the breath or spirit of life into it.
That is why in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 we can see that there is a spirit, soul and body.
Now we can see these three parts in man – which we will study in detail in other classes.
And we find this in Hebrews 4:12.
The word of God is a sword – dividing soul, spirit and joints and marrow (flesh).
Some say that man is only two parts.
They say that man is only soul and body.
But Hebrews 4:12 distinguishes between soul and spirit as separate parts.
In Romans 1:9 Paul says, “I serve God with my spirit.”
Some say that “monotheism” or “syllabus” – this says that man is only a mixture of body and chemicals.
This is a view that is found among “evolutionists” as well as atheists.
They say that man does not have a soul and a spirit.
But they cannot explain human emotions, love, hate, thinking ability, consciousness, language and other very important human emotions and they are not chemicals. (They say they do not know and they say they are looking)?
That is why the Bible clearly states that there are three parts of a “triune” or invincible man – spirit, soul and body.
If we study 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Hebrews 4:12 and other passages, it becomes clear.
We also fully believe this.
Perhaps the inability to distinguish the functions of the soul and spirit comes to mind.
The state of Adam and Eve before they sinned and after they sinned.
Before the fall or sinfulness, Adam and Eve were completely innocent. (The provision of innocence)
The environment in which they were and they had no conscience. Genesis 2:25 – They were not ashamed.
Genesis 3:5 – They did not know what conscience was until this time.
They had no guilt of sin in them and were completely innocent.
They could have direct fellowship with God.
 Now, the soul soul body
 With unbelievers
 The soul body
The spirit is inactivated by sin. (Romans 5:12)
But when someone believes in Jesus, their spirit is awakened. (Romans 5:21) (Ephesians 2:1, verses 5 and 18).
The spirit, soul, body, and world are aware.
They are aware of God. They are aware of themselves.  The soul
is aware of the world.

 Why
is it necessary to explain that at what time does a person receive his soul, spirit, and body? We can clearly see that of Adam and Eve. Now at what time do people after that receive their soul, spirit, and body? This is also very important to know. There are various beliefs (we will study this too). 1. It is believed that the soul and spirit of any person or animal reincarnates in another person or animal after death. This belief is called “pre-existence” (pre-birth). The Bible does not teach such a teaching and it is false. We can find this type of belief in Hinduism. The Bible clearly states that in Hebrews 9:27, “And it is appointed for men once to die, and after this judgment,” there is no other birth except this life. Hinduism also says that if one does good deeds, one becomes a human in another birth, otherwise one becomes a sparrow, a mouse, or a fly, which the Bible proves to be false. There is no afterlife, the afterlife is a lie. The danger of this teaching is that people think that they will be deceived, that even if they die, they will have another life on earth and that they will be right with God at that time. When they die, it is too late. That is why ghosts do not haunt people’s souls. Unbelievers go to “Hades” at death, but to wait for the White Throne of Judgment. Believers go to heaven at death (we will study this in the last days). (Sometimes evil spirits impersonate and blind people) (needs a little explanation). Another popular idea that can also be found in Christianity. “Human creationism” which believes that God gives life and soul to a person at conception. This believes that whenever a person is conceived, God gives blood and soul at that time and the body is being formed. This view suggests that the soul has a different origin from the body (Ecclesiastes 12:7 ÷ Isaiah 42:5 ÷ Zechariah 12:1 ÷ Hebrews 12:9). However, this view has some weaknesses (although it is also popular in the Christian community). 1. Genesis 2:2-3 suggests that God rested from the creation of the physical world and did not create anything else after that. The Bible is clear that the soul, spirit, and body of all mankind are subject to sin, but how can sin exist if God created the soul and spirit every time? This leads us to a third view. And that is 3. Triducianism.  We also believe in this view and it is both biblical and practical. This view states that the soul and spirit are given by the parents at the moment of conception. This theory states that the soul, spirit, and body are distributed from the parents at the moment of conception. This means that a child inherits both the physical and non-physical parts from its parents.

We will also prepare some biblical bases for this.
Adam Eve
Genesis 2:7 tells us that God created the first man and Eve (some time later).
 He created not only the physical part of Adam, but also the immaterial parts, soul and spirit.

As mentioned earlier, Genesis 2:2-3 indicates that God stopped doing this work.
Genesis 5:3 When Adam begot Seth, he begot a son in his own likeness, in his own image, which is the same explanation used in Genesis 1:26.
That is why it is natural for the children to show the same qualities as the parents.
Even if it is not seen in some generations, some of them begin to appear in the next generation. (The only difference is for the Lord Jesus Christ, but all others come into this world in this way). It
is important to know about this and the question arises in the Bible.

Now let us study the subject of soul, soul and body.
1. Body.. The Greek word for body is used in the New Testament. There are 5 senses that we will study about.
The Greek word for body is “kabchah” but more often this word refers to the body in that state when our body is controlled by the old sin nature and starts to run our lives than to our ordinary body. Now it is necessary to know the difference between kabchah and kabchah.
Mainly soma kabchah refers to these five senses.
 (1) Smell (2) Touch Feel (3) Taste (4) Hearing (5) Seeing
These functions of our body are important.
There is nothing wrong with the body soma (kabchah), the body itself is not sinful.
It keeps us alive and we use our body.
Similarly, Christ also assumed the body, but our “old sin nature” expresses itself through the body.
And when the body controlled by the old sin nature is “kabchah”.
A worldly person or a worldly believer.
We will also study the old sin nature in the Sinology but we will also explain some here. Romans 7:19-20 (sin singular old sin nature)
Even after we believe, we sin but less, we sin unwillingly, we sin without even wanting to. To be angry, to be jealous, to be greedy, to lie, we know we think evil, to lust, to be proud, we know we don’t want to but we have the old sin nature. (It was embarrassing to clean the old sin nature).

 Some key words used for mind

 Even if you listen to someone who talks or who gossips, it affects the soul.
But now the soul and mind full of education do the right thing and decide and now the power of “stopping” is developed and strengthened and the right choice and decision is made.
Now the soul is full of the right information and communicates the same message to other parts.
In a sense, “by the Holy Spirit “Controlled mind (or soul)”
A mind dominated by worldly desires – double-minded (James 1:8, 4:8) or a twisted mind (Luke 12:29)
unable to discern (like Samson)
and unable to make the right choice.
We have to regret it. Wrong choices
affect all areas of life (soul).
(Marriage, spiritual life, work, business) in all
– give the mind some time…because it affects the other four areas as well.
Now…let’s look at some minds and their brief meanings:
1) The carnal mind or carnal mind – Romans 8:7 – It has wrong thoughts and it makes wrong mental decisions.
3) The mind of vanity – Ephesians 4:17 – A mind that is full of passion, anger and weakness.
4) The mind of defilement – ​​Titus 1:15 – This is a corrupt mind that is full of sin and weakness, full of wrong thoughts of worldly law and full of human thinking defense mechanisms for committing sin.
5) The spiritual mind – Romans 8:6 – This is the mind that is capable of receiving and using knowledge from God.
6) The pure mind – 2 Timothy 1:7 – This is the mind that is motivated by the love poured out in the heart by the Holy Spirit, a very controlled thinking system, a heart that can give people right understanding. 7
) The mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5, 1 Corinthians 2:16, Colossians 3:11) The mind of the believer who is filled with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.
 Now let’s look at the second part of the soul, “the will.”
First of all, we know that God gave us free will, which we can find in Genesis 2:16. This is where we see the gift of free will.
God did not create “robots” (robots are controlled by the will of God)
.  He created man with free will.
 If man wants to trust God, he can.
 And if he doesn’t want to trust, he doesn’t have to.
 Today, people are free because God made them that way.
 That’s why they can accept, reject, choose.
As we know, love and worship can only be practiced in a free willed being. It also perfectly represents the working of salvation.
Will – is the part of the soul by which man makes choices or choices.
God gave this part to man so that he could choose the things of God.
Adam and Eve could choose, had a will and did choose.
Whether the fruit from the tree of good and evil or the fruit from the tree of life is really a matter of choosing God or choosing oneself.
 2 Peter 1:21 – Man’s will “did not come”
 1 Corinthians 7:37 – but he has authority over his own will,
 John 1:13 – not from man’s will.
 Ephesians 2:3 – the desires of the flesh (controlled by the old sin nature)
 (There are other words that refer to – choice)
The word “will” is used about 45 times in the New Testament. 80% of these are used for God’s will.
Jesus taught us to pray – Matthew 6:10, Thy will be done Other passages – Romans 1:10, Ephesians 1:1
We need to choose God and God’s plan
 Now the human will does the following 5 things.
1) Choice
2) Decision
3) Consent
4) Obedience and
5) Listening.
We can see the choice of Abraham and Lot in Genesis 13.
13:10-11 – We can see Lot’s choice.
He chose what he saw with his eyes .
He chose physical beauty.
And we can see the result in Chapter 14
13:12-18 – Abraham waits for God and in verse 14
God tells him where to go.
There are other examples like this….Next
we see Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38-42…
In verse 42 – Mary has chosen the good part…
a very good choice….we can see….God
wants us to make the right choice, decision, consent, disobedience and listening.

Now let’s look at the third part:
 The third part of the soul is the “conscience”
in Greek – the word used is “conscience”.
By which we know, by which the testimony of conduct is born in any person, by which we know the will of God.
Which is designed or shaped to control our lives.
The part that feels guilty before God. (Hebrews 10:2)
This is a system of thought that distinguishes between morally good and bad. (Example 3-year-old child rape and molestation)
It honors good and rejects evil, while emphasizing good and cannot tolerate evil.
 Romans 2:15 – The conscience of unbelievers also bears witness…
 It bears witness that God is…
 Romans 9:1 – Paul says, “I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit…..the conscience controlled by the Holy Spirit…
..  This conscience is a work of the Spirit.
Other passages – 2 Corinthians 1:12, Romans 13:5, 1 Corinthians 10:25,27,28,29, 2 Corinthians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 8:10,12 1 Peter 2:19
Practically,
the conscience is the part of the soul where the standard and system for right and wrong are established
An example is
the woman caught in adultery in John 8:1-11,
especially in verse 9. We see that…
and all who heard this were convicted by their own conscience, from the greatest to the least… (Romans 2:14-15)
Other passages – Acts 23:1, 1 Timothy 1:5, 19-4:2 Hebrews 9:14
Conscience is a measuring stick – shaped by background, as well as by tradition, training, and education. Most of the time, conscience can tell you the right thing, but not always . In some cultures, marriage within the same family may be allowed, but not in all… but conscience can
tell you otherwise . The condition of women… in some cases is terrible (in some Muslims)… even conscience does not blame… untouchability, in some cultures people sacrifice and conscience does not blame (like this and that) Our conscience is based and trained by information, culture, family, education, training. Conscience tells us what is right and wrong. It acts as a measure. (Romans 2:14-15) That is why it is not always right. The conscience of the believer – must be based on the Word of God and the grace of God. Grace must be the foundation of all thought, preconceptions, conclusions, behavior and actions. The knowledge and teaching of the Word of God must fill the empty conscience. So that the Word is the basis for the conscience to build the standard of all things.  Now 1 Timothy 4:2 – A seared conscience  A seared conscience  This conscience has not worked because it has been seared.  In the context of false teachers and teachings, the moral law is rejected and the voice of the Holy Spirit is ignored in this regard and… Weak conscience 1 Corinthians 8:7,12 – The conscience of new believers (the conscience of unbelievers is weak – because of sin) This is a conscience that has not been deepened by the Word: it feels guilty about small things. This conscience needs training through the Word… Education.. Like a new student, disciple, new believer . Another is – an unclean conscience (like a weak conscience). A life full of orthodoxy and luxury.. Just as all excuses work for the lazy, so does luxury work for the greedy. Hebrews 10:22 – Evil conscience. When the conscience is sick, it becomes evil. Full of sin and guilt and is guided by it..

And a good conscience (1 Peter 3:16, 21 ÷ 1 Timothy 1:5, 19 ÷ Acts 23:1 ÷ Hebrews 13:18)
trained by the Word, filled with teaching, receptive to the voice of the Spirit, filled with grace and perfected works. This is the conscience needed in ministry.
A conscience filled with the truth of the Word
A conscience determined by the Word and the Spirit (vv. 11).
Now, a pure conscience – 1 Timothy 3:9 and 2 Timothy 1:3
A conscience in constant fellowship with the Word,
a conscience in close fellowship with God
A conscience that has confessed sin
and finally a perfect conscience – Hebrews 9:9 ÷ 9:14 ÷ 10:2
A conscience washed by the blood of Christ A conscience that is pure,
without blame, without guilt,
in the experience of daily life itself (vv. 11)
.  Now let’s look at the fourth part of the soul – consciousness (consciousness).
For that, look at Genesis 3:7.
This is the consciousness that Adam and Eve realized that they were naked.
It did not affect them when they were pre-intentional to sin.
But now they know, but they always had awareness – it did not come after sin).
If there was divine awareness before sin, they were a little more aware of themselves than before.
Being aware of things around them (if something falls). Not only
when feeling danger (when an earthquake comes), when people run away, when someone shouts loudly, but also when they feel fear, insecurity.
Awareness is a mental state where a person feels or understands his own mental processes and actions.
In this section, what we have studied is that the human soul is conscious or aware of itself.
It is studied in more depth in psychology. Other
animals also have some part of awareness, such as feeling unsafe, running away, running if there is danger around, birds stay away from people.
– They are aware of the world or their surroundings, and to some extent they are also aware of themselves.
As can be seen from the picture.
 –From words –by listening
 –From the road map –by remembering the past
 –From signs –This is an awareness or knowledge,
but now at another level of awareness, we become aware of how events and things relate to ourselves.
Because of the new spirit and the ministry of the Holy Spirit…Now we become aware of God and God’s works, God’s plan and work, and how am I related to it…?
Church (Dyamatha Shiva) life is important.
For example
, in Luke 15, there is the story or parable of the prodigal son.
15:17 The prodigal son comes.
He gradually becomes aware of the love of the Father.
He becomes aware, becomes aware.
The word is important.
 And now the 5th part of the soul is “emotions”
emotions – yes, this is what we are experiencing.
Now, these are many complex reactions with psychological or physical manifestations of love, happiness, hatred, fear, anger.
The Old Testament and the New Testament were written in Hebrew and Greek respectively.
(Some parts in Aramaic)
There were no words for “emotion” in Hebrew and Greek.
That is why words like kidney, stomach, womb, intestines can be found in the Old Testament. In some cases, these words are used as “compassion”.
 We can find emotions in the book of Psalms.
 Emotions act as reacting, appreciating and expressing.
 Emotions have the greatest impact on the mind.
 Emotions are not for thinking but in the mind and (heart) we think.
Instead of the mind, the soul is uncontrolled by emotions, that is why anger, quarrel, crying, laughter … can sometimes be found to be uncontrolled. The reason for thinking with emotions (when emotions affect the mind)
is negative or positive effects… sleeplessness….
That is why decisions should not be taken when you are emotional.
In a hurry, in fear, in anger, in jealousy….. Decisions should not be made. It  

is necessary to make decisions through the Word, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, with God and through spiritual advice, but not emotionally.
Pa. Ktavbhabhabha wrote “B dhvapi tjabat mbhabhabatak tjabh bhlazhath”
 Genesis 3:14 “You will crawl on your “belly””.
 Ezekiel 28:15 Ardham “In one emotion, in half”.
 “You will crawl and be controlled”.
 Psalm 73:21 Conscience – Psthibaja
 It is felt in the emotions.
 Seeing the progress of the wicked.
 Song of Songs 5:4 My heart overflows with love for him.
 This happened because of love.
 We keep God’s love in our emotions.
 At the same time, emotions are the main center for joy.
 In Luke 15:28, we see that the elder son was emotional.
 (1 John 3:17, etc.)
Negative Sinful Emotions
 Despair: Self-absorbed, feeling inferior, giving up, not caring about others.
 Persistent guilt: Punishing oneself, feeling worthless
 Not taking responsibility for oneself.
 Revenge – Holding grudges against others.
 Motivated by revenge
 Discouragement – ​​giving up trying, anger
 Anxiety – based on assumptions
 Positive Emotions
 Grief: Loss, death (death of a loved one)
 Seeing the suffering of others
 Structured grief – 2 Corinthians 7:8-10
 Motivation to improve behavior
 Anger – toward sin and sinlessness, because of holiness
 Motivated resentment – ​​relying on God
 Because of what one cannot do or is incapable of doing
 Concern – about future events that may separate me from God (plan).
But (God’s) inspired thoughts on good things…
1. Full of fellowship with God.
2. Full of the Word of God (feelings do the right thing.
Now we study the subject of the human soul.
In Greek, pneuma (Elohim) – the first word
is “a” – the soul of man
, the second word is “k” – the Holy Spirit
(Elohim is most often correct in this context)
Elohim – the same word is used for the Holy Spirit and the soul of man.
When translating Elohim,
the soul of man was written as “k” and the Holy Spirit was written as “k”. An example is Romans 8:16,
which tells us that
because of sin (the fall), the Holy Spirit left Adam and Eve and without the Holy Spirit the human soul cannot live or be active… (This is the reality of unbelievers).
Now we know that when a person believes in Jesus, his new spirit is awakened or made alive and has a soul, body and spirit.
(Romans 5:12-19, Ephesians 2:1 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23)
The Holy Spirit communicates the things of God to the new spirit. The new spirit communicates to the soul and now the soul responds to that communication.
That is why we think differently and can understand the things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-13
Verse 11 – The Spirit of Man and Other Verses The Holy Spirit
There are three main functions or parts of the human spirit.
The human spirit which is related to God and the spiritual life.
 Body – conscious of the world (surroundings, outward appearances).
 Soul – conscious of self. (personality, about oneself)
 Spirit – conscious of God. – related to and in fellowship with Him)
Functions of the Three New Spirits
1. Interrogation means the Spirit has the power to know things without reasoning or knowledge.
1 John 2:20 – But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
2.
Fellowship John 4:24 – God is the Spirit.
Fellowship is to share or to understand something.
In the Spirit man finds God.
Where he has fellowship and cooperation with God.
1 Corinthians 2:11 – Only the Spirit knows and reveals God. Walking with Jesus and knowing Him.
3. Conscience – Different from the conscience of the soul.
Romans 9:1
The conscience of the spirit – distinguishes right from wrong based on moral laws…
The conscience of the spirit – distinguishes what is from God and what is from man.
Now…let’s go to the heart of man… The heart is the whole soul
that
automatically knows that it is true.
 The heart of man is deceitful…
.  The heart is the whole man.
 Yes, it does many things, including pumping blood.
 But if it doesn’t work, it’s over.
 That’s why the heart refers to the whole man.
 The natural heart or the old heart or the old man is deceitful.
 Matthew 15:19 – From the heart (old heart)…what comes.
 Mark 7:21-23 – From within or from the heart.
 Key Verse: Read Jeremiah 17:9-10
 This is the old heart.
 It cannot know or serve God.
 That is why He gives us a new heart (new man).
Jeremiah 24:7, Ezekiel 36:27, 11:19, Romans 2:29, Psalm 51:10
“Now, the believer will have a new heart” along with the old heart for a time. The old sin nature…
in Greek “pbachamsheb”.. The heart is a thinking base that produces intentions (motives or intentions) and complete beliefs for all areas of life….
Three Principles of the Heart
1) It is a place where all the actions of the soul take place.
2) It is a place where all intentions and thoughts originate.
3) It is a place where knowledge, information, and personal decisions
ultimately lead to the adoption of methods and principles of practicality.
