Episode Chapters

1. Tim and Jon answer listener questions from the three-episode series on "nephesh"
   0:00 - 1:35
2. Nephesh doesn't quite mean the same as the English word "soul."
   1:36 - 7:16
3. Why did Paul write that each of us has a soul, spirit, and body in 1 Thessalonians 5?
   7:17 - 7:17
4. "Can you explain why Paul wrote that each of us has a body, a soul, and a spirit? If, in fact, the soul is the same thing as the body, what do we make about the Spirit then with all this?" - Sam Darby
   7:18 - 18:54
5. In Hebrews 4:12, it seems man is dual natured, physical and spirit. But how can we reconcile this by understanding man as a single natured being, meaning that man is a soul?
   18:55 - 18:55
6. "My question is about Hebrews 4:12. It seems to me this tells us that man is dual nature and bones and marrow in physical and so on spirit, meaning nonphysical. How can we understand this with the view of man as a single nature being, meaning man is a soul?" - Johnny from Chicago
   18:56 - 24:42
7. In Psalm 63, it says that David’s nephesh/soul thirsts after God. What does that mean practically?
   24:43 - 24:43
8. "In Psalm 63, David says that his soul, "nephesh," thirsts for God. This is poetic language. But what does this look like in daily life? What does it practically mean to thirst after God with my soul?" - Daniel Ferguson
   24:44 - 33:11
9. What’s the biblical writers' perspective on the future state of being? And how does that relate to burial practices like cremation?
   33:12 - 33:12
10. "My question is about the biblical writers' perspective on, say, our state of being in this anticipated resurrection. Is it some sort of physical state or more of a spiritual state? Then how does that connect to different burial practices maybe of their time or of our own time when you consider something like being cremated?" - Kevin from Indiana
    33:13 - 45:40
11. What do we actually know from the biblical writers and first-century believers saying what our bodies will be like in the new creation?
    45:41 - 45:41
12. "There is one question I still have after listening to the lessons on nephesh. I think over the years, I've heard many people say what they think about how our bodies will be in the new creation. I haven't found a lot from the Scriptures myself, but I wonder what do we know about how our bodies will be in the new Earth when Jesus comes back? And what did the first-century Christians think? I'd love to hear your thoughts and just learn more about that. Thank you." - Natalia from Greeley, Colorado
    45:42 - 55:04
