Having examined the concept of mankind as a trinity – body, soul, and spirit, and knowing that the body is subject to death, we now need to seek an answer to the question whether the soul of man is mortal as well – dying with the body – or whether the soul has an immortal existence apart from the body.
In this second part of our series of studies on Death and Resurrection, we consider the concept of mankind as a trinity of body, soul, and spirit.
We consider the subjects of death and resurrection using the booklet “Death and Afterward” by Dr. Lehman Strauss as a framework for our discussions.

The relationship between genetically determined gender and individual gender perception and expression consumes a large proportion of thought and conversation in today’s society. Almost everyone has strongly held beliefs on the subject – often lacking firm foundation in fact. Most people’s thoughts and beliefs on the subject are instead driven by gut emotion rather than logical thought. Without the anchor of God’s Word, there is nowhere to turn for reliable information and direction concerning this divisive issue.
In the last two sessions of our Christian Life Foundations Course, we looked at the overall structure and content of the New Testament gospel accounts, acts of the apostles, letters, and the Revelation of Jesus Christ. We then shared our favorite New Testament passages.
In these two sessions we looked at the overall structure and highlights of the Old Testament Law, Prophets, and Writings. We each shared our favorite Old Testament passages.
In this session, we consider ways that we as individuals and as a body of believers can show and share the love of Jesus in our community among believers and unbelievers alike.
