    Hello Jesse

    "Psueke" or as it is correctly written "Psyche" is greek for soul. But sometimes in the scriptures it is used for mind, life, self, feelings etc. I would like to know what it means in Hebrew since this word is more common in the Old Testament. GBU

    I think in Hebrew it is "nephesh"

    William,

    1 Corinthians 2:16 says, " For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."



    The word mind is the word NOUS. Again, this is the perceptive abilities. We don't have His brain. I think that there are some people that misunderstand this text.



    There have been people in the past that said "Now that I'm saved, everything that passed through my brain is God's thoughts, and therefore I speak whatever my thoughts are, and they're all of God because I have the mind of Christ."



    Well, there are several Greek words. PSEUKE, mostly for the brain, but there are several other words that describe the function of the brain. And the word NOUS describes the perceptive abilities of the mind.



    So when it says we have the mind of Christ, we've got the Spirit of Christ that is revealing to us and giving us the ability to perceive spiritual truth.



    It's not just a head knowledge, it's a perception, and we're able to perceive because we've received Christ. Then we have His Spirit giving us the perception of Christ.



    And the more we grow in Christ, the more we perceive the workings of His Spirit and the truths of God functioning in the Spirit realm.

    Hello William.

    The Mind of Christ means the way Jesus thinks, talks, feels, behaves and so on. There isn't a single verse in the Bible to summarize that, but the gospels are full of Jesus' way of 'living and behaving and teaching, we can take examples from those.

    Maybe the verses in Philippians 2:5-10 can give you a general idea. Jesus' mind was to obey Father God's commandments.

    Yes, Giannis,

    Jesus' mind always in complete agreement with the Father, and also He always said "yes" to the Father, not just from His lips, but with His mind, will, heart, and body.
