Soulish
The term "soulish" is derived from the Greek word "psuchikos," which relates to the soul or the natural, unspiritual aspect of human existence. In the New Testament, it appears in passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:44, where Paul contrasts the "natural body" (or soulish body) with the "spiritual body." The soulish aspect refers to a person living according to their natural instincts and desires, often in opposition to spiritual truths. In a broader theological context, "soulish" can imply living in a way that prioritizes earthly or fleshly desires over spiritual life. James 3:15 refers to "earthly, sensual, devilish" wisdom, which aligns with the concept of soulishness as being rooted in human reasoning or desires rather than divine guidance. Thus, in biblical literature, being "soulish" can indicate a state of existence that is self-centered and disconnected from the spiritual realities that God desires for believers, who are called to live by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).
