CONTINUITY...

BODY FLUIDS CONTINUE INTO ONE ANOTHER…FROM SPIRIT TO SOUL, TO THE BODY.

In the human body; our extra-cellular values are important extracellularly but designed only for the extracellular compartments; and for optimum function it shouldn’t be obtained intracellularly. In the event of ECF values being obtained intracellularly; serious damage could occur. In light of these, we would compare the extracellular components of body fluids; in this case representing the body of the typical believer with the intracellular values that represent believers’ spirits; the transcellular fluid being fluid in which believers souls float.

TABLE 3.1; SHOWING THE CHARACTERISTICS EXEMPLIFIED IN BODY FLUIDS AT NEW BIRTH

CHIEF BODY FLUID IONS	BODILY FUNCTION	CHARACTERISTICAL REPRESENTATION	ECF {PLASMA + IF} (mEq/L); i.e. BODY AND SOUL 14L	ICF   (mEq/L) i.e. SPIRIT   28L
Na+	Generating nerve impulses	PRIDE	142	10
K+	Essential for proper heart & muscle functions	SELFLESSNESS              (LOVE)	4	140
Ca2+	Healthy bones and teeth	AMBITION	2.4	0.0001
Mg2+	Energy metabolism	POWER	1.2	58
Cl-	Maintenance of acid-base balance	THE LAW (MAINTAINS SIN)	103	4
HCO3-	Buffering action of blood; transport of CO2/ CO2 source	SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS	28	10
PHOSPHATES (PO4 3-)	Skeletal mineralization, muscle contraction. Is found mainly within bones.	PEOPLE OF MAXIMUM POSITIVE INFLUENCE	4	75

·         BODY & BLOOD IS IN ECF

·         TRANSCELLULAR/INTERSTITIAL FLUID EMBEDS THE SOUL

·         SPIRIT IS EMBEDDED IN THE ICF

SOUL (transcellular fluid- corresponds to ECF)

Even at new birth, the soul and body are not born again: Thus, the unregenerate soul, along with its bodily correspondent has the following ions (characteristics) in great amounts:

·         Na+ : highest amount of cations; which is characteristically represented by Pride

·         Cl- : highest amount of anions; represented characteristically by the Law- which is responsible for fueling & maintaining sin.

·         Ca2+: which is represented b  y inordinate ambition

·         HCO3-: represented by self-consciousness

Solutions to these problems are catered for in the scriptures:

·         Make a decisive dedication of your body to GOD as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to him, which is your reasonable service –Romans 12:1

·         Be not conformed to the standards of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind Romans 12:2

SPIRIT (corresponds to ICF)

The communion of the Holy Spirit with a newly-recreated Spirit makes that Spirit possess several qualities, as exemplified by some specific ions, namely:

·         K+: greatest amount of spiritual cations; its represented characteristically by selflessness/ love

·         P04 3-: highest amount of spiritual negatively (like charges repel, unlike charges attract) charged ions; its represented characteristically by people of maximum positive influence

·         Mg2+: For energy metabolism. It is represented by Godly and wonder-working power, infused by the Holy Spirit into the life of every believer in Christ/ every Christian for the digestion, absorption of God’s word and consequent cell growth and development

Indeed: “Living the Christian life is not about following a series of laborious religious rituals to make u a better person- it’s about joyfully pursuing JESUS by the power of the Holy Spirit.” We cannot live the life that Christ called us to live without one of the most essential things that comes along with the new birth- which also is the best gift of all: THE HOLY SPIRIT; which is for OUR EMPOWERMENT & REGENERATION.
