Every living thing has a Body which includes vital organs such as a liver, kidneys, a stomach a brain and a HEART, . . . a soul and spirit. Without, all or even one of these parts of the body missing we would not live physically for very long.The body is the outward form or house in which his soul and spirit dwell, (Gen. 2:7, 19; John 5:28-29; Matt. 27: 52; 1 Cor. 15:34-58; Jas. 2:26; 1 Thess. 5:23; Heb. 10:5-10.
The soul is that invisible part which feels , the seat of his emotions and desires, and which gives him self consciousness and makes him a sentient being (Lev. 23:43; 1 Sam. 22:2; 30:6; 2 Sam. 13:39; 2 Kings 4:27; 23:3; Ps. 107:5, 9, 18, 26; Mark 12:33; Matt. 26:38; John 12:27; Heb. 10:38; Heb. 4:12).
t
The spirit is that invisible part of all living beings that knows the seat of his intellect, mind and will, and that which gives him self determination and makes him a free moral agent and a rational being (1 Cor. 2;11; Matt. 26:41; Exodus 35:21;Job 38:8, 18; Prov. 20:27; Phil. 1:27; Heb. 4:12; Jas. 2:26; 1 Thess. 5:23).

Animals have both feelings and knowledge although somewhat limited and on a much lower scale than that of man. Animals were not created in the likeness of God as men are. They are a lower type of life and they have souls and spirits in the sense of feelings, emotions, appetites, desires, passions, and a low form of knowledge, as can be seen in may Scriptures. If there are horses in Heaven as the Scriptures teach then there must be all kinds of animals there for Heaven is called a better place, and therefore it is sure to be as good as the Earth (Hebrews 11:10-16).

Scriptures teach that there is a difference between the natural spirit of man and the spirit of beasts (Eccl. 3:21); that there is a difference between "breath" and "spirit" (Job 34:15; Ps. 19:7; Luke 12:19; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 7:1) ; and that each creature has a separate spirit which is not a part of God (Num. 16:22; 27:17; Eccl. 3:21 ; Ezek. 21:7; Dan. 2:1-3; Mal. 2:15-16; Prov. 16:2; 1 Cor. 2:10-12; 14:32; Heb. 12:9, 23; 1 Thess. 5:23). [Most, excluding my comments, is from Dake's GPFM book, page 51]

A Mans heart is the physical organ which pumps ones life blood throughout our body. It is the most important organ in our body for the moment it stops beating, we die. God also forbids men from drinking blood for blood is the life;

Gen 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

God also has a heart for He mentions His heart in many Scriptures. Men can speak and act and imagine things emotionally mentioning their heart;

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every1 imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Lev 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

God also has bodily parts as men do and He has a Heart and sometimes we grieve Hi to His Heart;

Gen. 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Scriptures also teach us that there is a difference between the natural spirit of man and the spirit of beasts (Eccl. 3:21); that there is a difference between "breath" and "spirit" (Job 34:15; Ps. 19:7; Luke 12:19; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 7:1) ; and that each creature has a separate spirit which is not a part of God (Num. 16:22; 27:17; Eccl. 3:21 ; Ezek. 21:7; Dan. 2:1-3; Mal. 2:15-16; Prov. 16:2; 1 Cor. 2:10-12; 14:32; Heb. 12:9, 23; 1 Thess. 5:23).

Eccl. 3:21 states this; "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?"

I Hope this helps Roy.

Hello Roy,

The "heart" of man is often used in the Bible as a metaphor for the whole person, our entire personality of mind, will, and emotions. It represents the very core of who we are. So for example when Jesus said we're to love the Lord our God with all our heart, He meant with everything we have, from the very core of our being. And when Jeremiah said the heart is deceitful above all things he was expressing the fact that there is an incurable spiritual sickness at the core of who we are. There is no cure for the human "heart" (Jeremiah 17:9). It can only be replaced with a "new heart" (Ezekiel 36:26). We must be born again.
