The Immaterial Mind
- The mind is immaterial and distinct from the brain.
- It encompasses thoughts, reason, attitudes, and volition.
Brain as Outer Person
- The Bible uses a range of terms to describe the physical and non-physical aspects of a person.
- The brain belongs to the "outer person," the physical realm.
Outer vs. Inner Self
- Paul, in 2 Corinthians, distinguishes between the "outer self" (physical body) and "inner self" (spiritual).
- The outer self wastes away, but the inner self is renewed.
