The Spiritual Puzzle

Discussion explores the Deep mystery of the Great paradox of the body/mind/ spirit  relationship and connection. It continues the idea that humans are primarily spiritual beings temporarily residing in physical forms.

This discussion helps clarify several deep Biblical concepts; Resurrection, Redemption, The Holy Spirit and the New Covenant. It explores the profound spiritual shift initiated by the resurrection of Jesus, viewing it as a historical turning point that defeated death and introduced a new spiritual consciousness to humanity. Through his role as the ultimate sacrificial redeemer, Jesus replaced the rigid laws of the Old Covenant with a New Covenant characterized by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit which allows every individual to experience a direct personal relationship with God, moving beyond external rituals to an internal, heart or Spirit -centered faith.

Jesus was not just making a few societal tweaks and adding some good moral teaching. He was totally  transforming humans’ understanding of themselves and their relation to God and each other.

They discovered and began to use abstract thinking  began to explore  the existence of an immortal soul.
