Do we have a body, a soul and a spirit, distinctly, or just a body and a spiritual part that can be called soul or spirit interchangeably?

Bible scholars have debated whether man is a dual-natured being or a creature with three distinct parts for a very long time. We recognize our flesh easily enough. We know that we have a body, and that it is a part distinct, or separable from a part of us that is immaterial (or super-material, i.e. not of earthly substance). I think it’s safe to say that most people think of themselves as dual-natured; as having a physical body and a “spiritual” (in the sense of not being physical) soul (and the terms “soul” and “spirit” would be used interchangeably here). Still, some believe that there is a difference between the soul and the spirit, and thus that we are made up of three parts or natures combined into one. Over the next few weeks I want to examine the Scriptures in search of the truth of this matter, and invite you to read along and consider it for yourself. Check back here at least once a week and consider the posts. As always, your comments will be welcome!
