Perhaps, we need to first ask what is the difference between our souls, our minds, and our brains. (I don't have an answer for this.)
Generally, I presume that our minds and brains are so integrated that we really can't discern the difference.
But, to follow up on the original question, how does the Holy Spirit interact with certain parts of our brains (or minds, or souls) to give us a new idea that we would not have had otherwise?
I think the ancients thought that the pineal gland was the location of the soul. Does anyone know of any evidence in this direction?
Do you think this is where the Holy Spirit interfaces with our brain to give us new thoughts and/or attitudes?
When the Bible says "Christ is in us", how does He actually influence our thoughts? Does He have a specific place in our brains that He can stimulate?
Is there a functional difference between the brains of a spiritually mature Christian and an emotionally mature non-Christian?
Any thoughts?
