Have you ever asked yourself have you really died and are now born again? Or is your soul still alive and running the show. Maybe we need to learn how to die, and see if that is something that we are willing to do do.

Yeah, ummm.. Our soul does NOT die when we do. Either spiritually or physically..

Spoiler alert: we ALL gonna die. It's not something we LEARN. It's something we DO..

Oh, and we do not LITERALLY get born again.

But our soul doesn't die, regardless of that. And our souls don't "run the show", as the OP put it.

What is dead cannot die.

"But you were dead in your transgressions and sins..."

Only in Christ do we have life.

When Adam sinned the spirit went dormant and the soul took over. The soul governs the flesh.

The soul and the spirit cannot govern at the same time. God is enmity with the soul. Romans 8:7 7The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.. The SIN NATURE governs the flesh.. The soul is what gets saved when we give our life to God..

Where are you getting this baloney?

You are seriously and dangerously confused as to what soul is and what sin nature is. SIN NATURE governs our flesh. The soul has NOTHING to do with it...

God cannot communicate with us through the soul, he communicate through the spirit. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be

This is how we need to live by spirit and truth. John 4:24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Now you're limiting God. You need to educate yourself. God CAN communicate with us through ANYTHING.. Soul, spirit, mind..
