Heb. 5: 11-14: The Christian and His Intellect Itarsi, 27 November 2005 Domenic Marbaniang  Background Man is constituted of three Body      - Instinct, Sensation, and Reflexes (World-consciousness) Soul        - Intellect, Emotion, and Volition (Self-consciousness) Spirit      - Intuition, Conscience, and Communion (God-consciousness) Faculty of Knowledge: Body (Senses), Soul (Intellect), Spirit (Intuition) The Intellect receives data from the senses and intuition. It then orders them and places them in the memory of knowledge, as well as informs the various elements regarding necessary action. Elements: emotion, will, reflexes, communion.
