I am pretty comfortable with my body, mind and spirt (soul whatever) being completely interconnected. I don't see them as separate, individual parts but as a collective unity. I expect that I will have them all at the ressurection... albeit in an uncorrupted, glorified state.

What boggles my banana is how does sin fit into the picture.

"if any man is in Christ he is a new creation the old has gone the new has come" (2 Cor 5:17).

Where does sin that lives in me (Rom 7:14-20) actually live? How do I tell the difference between what is coming from ME and what is coming from the sin in me? I have hungers and desires and these motivate me. Some come from my body and are chemically induced...like hunger... some are emotionally induced like fear or love... others are from the leading of the Holy Spirit.... but where is the sin in all this jumble? I'd like to have a way to go... "that motivation is coming from the part of me where sin dwells" and be able to wall it off and keep it restrained and locked away... but it just don't work like that.

At the end of the day it probably comes down to something as simple as... fellowship with God. We really aren't designed to be independant creatures.
