The soul is the meeting point; here the spirit and the body join. Man communicates with the spiritual realm through the spirit. He communicates with the world of senses through the body. The soul is in between. On the one hand, it communicates with the spiritual realm through the spirit, and on the other hand, it communicates with the physical world through the body.
The soul is in between the spirit and the body; it binds the spirit and the body together as one. The spirit rules over the body through the soul and subjects it under God’s power. The body can induce the spirit to love the world through the soul.
The soul is the source of the personality; man’s judgment, intellect, and love all are of the soul. The spirit is the part with which man communicates with the spiritual realm. The body is the part with which man communicates with the physical realm. The soul is in the middle of these two parts. It exercises its judgment to determine if the spiritual realm is to rule or if the physical realm is to rule. Sometimes the soul rules through its intellect and stimulations; this becomes the rule of the psychological world. Unless the soul yields its rule to the spirit, the spirit cannot rule. Hence, the soul has to authorize the spirit to rule before the latter can rule over the soul and the body. The reason for this is that the soul is the origin of the personality.

Angels as spirit beings like God have no form(DNA) and are not able to manifest a form in regard to their spirit as if we did wrestle against flesh and blood .They have no DNA as rudiments of this world, therefore having not been formed from the dust as man, a beast of the field with the number 666 applied to that kind of beast. They have appeared in a vision as prophecy using flesh and blood to describe their unseen appearance but cannot perform that kind of work by their ownself ..
The soul is the line of communication between two spirits… not seen .The soul of Adam died representing the second death, not his temporal spirit it was given seventy or so years before it died used to represent the first death, the death of these bodies of death.
Christ suffered in respect to the first death, the death of the soul by giving His Spirit life that will never die but will be raised on the last day ..

Oh wow...are we "teaching" or just discussing scripture?
People have their Bibles and the Holy Spirit. Everyone is free to pray and decide what they want to believe.
It's a historic fact that early and modern day Christians died for their faith.
I don't see how it's "romance" to see that old testament saints also died for their faith in God. Jezebel hunted and killed many prophets who worshipped YHWH.
The fact that God calls us to have a faith that is willing to die for Him is not based upon one scripture...so you can believe what you want concerning that scripture,,,,it didn't really change the point I was trying to make.
Do you have a faith strong enough that when tested you would die for God rather than renounce Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

Matthew Henry Commentary
3:8-18 True devotion calms the spirit, quiets and softens it, but superstition and devotion to false gods inflame men's passions. The matter is put into a little compass, Turn, or burn. Proud men are still ready to say, as Nebuchadnezzar, Who is the Lord, that I should fear his power? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not hesitate whether they should comply or not. Life or death were not to be considered. Those that would avoid sin, must not parley with temptation when that to which we are allured or affrighted is manifestly evil. Stand not to pause about it, but say, as Christ did, Get thee behind me, Satan. They did not contrive an evasive answer, when a direct answer was expected. Those who make their duty their main care, need not be anxious or fearful concerning the event. The faithful servants of God find him able to control and overrule all the powers armed against them. Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst. If He be for us, we need not fear what man can do unto us. God will deliver us, either from death or in death. They must obey God rather than man; they must rather suffer than sin; and must not do evil that good may come. Therefore none of these things moved them. The saving them from sinful compliance, was as great a miracle in the kingdom of grace, as the saving them out of the fiery furnace was in the kingdom of nature. Fear of man and love of the world, especially want of faith, make men yield to temptation, while a firm persuasion of the truth will deliver them from denying Christ, or being ashamed of him. We are to be meek in our replies, but we must be decided that we will obey God rather than man
Daniel 3:18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."
