This shall serve as conclusion to the first section. The book of Genesis began with the everlasting Covenant. God the Spirit renews the same Covenant with Abraham after our image and after our likeness. So his body spirit and soul must be brought as one undivided entity. The sacrifice He specified included " And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon./And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not."(15.9-10). Each item that divided referred to the physical body of His creation. Whereas what he left undivided referred to the body He had prepared for his Son."Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me."(Heb.10.5-7).
The Law of the Spirit while framing the Covenant set the tripartite aspect of the physical body 'after our image.' Seven days went into giving this body its volume where blessing coming from the divine Will covered both heaven and earth. Circumcision only went as far as the body was applied. God sent his 'only begotten Son' the Word becoming flesh suffered the sign He imposed on Abraham as the Father of many nations. But the body that his Father had prepared for him encapsulated the soul so Jesus in his prayer says, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was./I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word." ( Jn 17.5-7) This body is the soul the spiritual body, and it is not divided. In short cicrcumcison addressed only 'after our image" Soul addresses faith directly so Christ abides in us by faith. The body of Christ is after our likeness. The same Spirit given to us
