On 12th September 2021, Cheonji Ilbo (Cheonji Daily) published an article, in Korean, entitled, "(24 Wise Questions - 10) 'What is the Spirit and Soul?'” This is a translation of that report.
===========================
📰Korea JoongAng Daily published an article on December 17, 2011, which listed a series of questions posed by the late founder of the Samsung Group, Byung-chul Lee, one month before his death in 1987. Byung-chul Lee posed 24 questions on matters of religion and faith in writing to his acquaintance, who was a Catholic priest. 33 years had passed until these questions were published, and today the answers are finally being proclaimed to the public by Chairman Manhee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. Now people throughout the world can finally find the truth they have been seeking. This paper seeks to answer the 24 wise questions posed by the late Byung-chul Lee.
===========================
(24 Wise Questions - 10) “What is the Spirit and Soul?”
(Chairman Manhee Lee) "Human beings are blinded because of sin and do not know about the spirit and soul. The soul is the lifeforce and the spirit is the being that is in charge."
Chairman Lee, Shincheonji Church of Jesus
"The question regarding the spirit and the soul is simple yet complex. How can a person, whose path to heaven is blocked because of sin, understand about the spirit and soul? Moreover, it should also be known that these are two separate entities that unite as one. How can the people of this world understand this?
Wherever there is water and light, there is also a soul. The soul is the life of all creation. However, a spirit is an entity which controls all life. If necessary, there are times when a spirit works through living things (such as animals or plants) other than people, but generally speaking, this is not the case. People have souls, but the question is, to whom does one's spirit and soul belong?
What I am saying is that there are two kinds of gods (spirits). Mr. Byungchul Lee has dealt with people who have a lot of money and power. How much has he dealt with God or with the poor? There is an old song with lyrics that say, “A person who has possessions but cannot use them is the greatest of all beggars, while the person who does not have anything, yet lives well, is a champion of ever-flowing rivers and mountains.” How much money and power does Mr. Byungchul Lee have at present? None. Whether poor or rich, are we not all the same?
Why have people, who possess both spirit and soul, killed all the messengers God has sent in the last six thousand years? To whom do the spirits and souls of those who kill belong that they would commit such evil acts? The answer lies in the fact that they do not belong to God.
During a dream, one's spirit can leave and wander about, but the soul remains within the body. A spirit can even fly. This spirit controls and leads the soul of the living person. Furthermore, the spirit can even meet the spirit of a dead person. When a person dies, the spirit and the soul leave the body. If my spirit unites with an evil spirit, it is thrown into chaos; and even if I know it is wrong, I can commit an evil act because of the evil spirit which has captured me. The soul and spirit is the life of the body."
