- Psychological Dualism: The belief that the human mind is both physical (the brain) & spiritual (the mind/soul/spirit)
- - Examples of non-physical elements of the self: Feelings, Ideas, Morality, Information, etc...
Dealing w/Mind Problems:
- People who believe psychological monism…
- - Only try to fix problems by focusing on one thing (spirit or body)
- - But, if you are wrong,
- - - You aren’t treating the full problem!
- - - - E.g. You only treat the body & neglect spiritual problems
- - - - E.g. You only treat spiritual problems & neglect the body
- - - You may make new problems while trying to fix things!
- In the Biblical approach of psychological dualism…
- - God holistically addresses our problems: Spirit & Body
- - - E.g.: While Jesus physically healed people, He also forgave their sins! (t.g. Matthew 9:1–8)
- - God calls on us to do the same!
