[YouTube: Dichotomy vs Trichotomy](https://youtu.be/Y7dApVHdAHU?si=244sKA4zFUVs8Nrw)
Video talks about this:
Dichotomy: Body and soul
- Body- flesh
- Soul- non-flesh. Mind, will, emotions, and spiritual part.
Trichotomy: Body, soul, and spirit.
- Body- flesh
- Soul- Mind, will, and emotions.
- Spirit- spiritual self.
Majority view throughout history is dichotomy. This would mean the soul and spirit are the same.
I do not see this as a primary issue or essential doctrine.
- I was raised to think from a Trichotomy view but think I can see more of the dichotomist view. Both views have text that can support it. However, there is more theological grounding that would lean toward dichotomists.
