Knowledge RESIDES IN THE HUMAN SPIRIT.
Yes Knowledge Resides in the Human Brain TOO.
If you are BORN AGAIN, those two will be at WAR. The Human Spirit wants to do what Pleases the LORD, while the will of the Human Brain wants to do the will of the FLESH.
Is that Human Brain the SOUL? I would say it is, here is JESUS explaining the Soul is wanting to do the wrong thing:
Luke 12:17-20 (NASB77)
17 "And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?'
18 "And he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'
20 "But God said to him, ' You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?'
HERE IS PAUL REASONING WITH HIS BORN AGAIN HUMAN SPIRIT.
Romans 7:14-25 (HCSB)
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am made out of flesh, sold into sin’s power.
15 For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate.
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17 So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me.
18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh.
For the desire to do what is good is with me {your human spiritual mind}, but there is no ability to do it.
19 For I do not do the good
that I want to do {your human spiritual mind}, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do.
20 Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me.
21 So I discover this principle:
When I want to do what is good {your human spiritual mind}, evil is with me.
22 For in my inner self I joyfully agree with God’s law.
23
But I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind {your human spiritual mind} and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this dying body?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.
Now HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS. AS you mature spiritually, your human spirit will get stronger and stronger as you feed on the WORD OF GOD. Eventually it will become more, and more dominate over the will of the flesh. To where the human spirit will win more battles with the will of the flesh. Is it possible to STOP SINNING? No in this BODY that has a SIN NATURE in it, but it is possible for the will of the human spirit to win most of the battles.
For those who think they have stopped sinning, I got news for you, YOU NEED TO STUDY WHAT ALL GOD CALLS SIN.
James 2:8-10 (NIV)
8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right.
9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
10
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
1 Peter 2:13-17 (NKJV)
13
Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,
14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and
for the praise of those who do good.
15
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--
16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.
17
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.
Honor the king.
Here are some Ordinances of man that you have NOT THOUGHT OF AS SIN but according to James 2:10 it is:
