A Model of Human Architecture
I
originally created this document as a discussion tool for a Men’s Bible study. We were studying what the Bible says
about the spiritual nature of human beings and how to practically apply these truths to everyday living. Our studies included
topics such as spiritual warfare, the armor of God, making moment-by-moment choices that are God honoring, standing against
sin in our lives, and better understanding what the Bible says about the human heart, mind, and soul. I fully acknowledge
that only the Creator God knows how the human body works with a person's spiritual heart, mind, and
soul. Keeping this in mind, we have found this model helpful in several of our Bible studies.
