💁🏻 Concept: Trichotomy

Trichotomy teaches that humans have three parts—body, soul, and spirit. The body connects to the physical world, the soul to thoughts and emotions, and the spirit to God. However, many Christians teach Dichotomy which sees people as one unified being, often described in two parts (body and soul/spirit). 

📖 Bible Readings: 1 Thessalonians 5:23

(Hebrews 4:12 ; Genesis 2:7; Matthew 10:28 ; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 Samuel 18:1; Revelation 6:9; Job 32:8; Ecclesiastes 12:7; 1 Corinthians 2:11 ; Romans 8:16 ; James 2:26 )
