Abstract
This study is a critical study on trichotomism by responding to some Bible texts (1 Thess. 5:23; Heb. 4:12; 1 Cor. 2:14-3:4) that are used for trichotomism. The main question that the present study seeks to answer to is “Is trichotomism biblical?” Continued two questions; (1) “How can we understand and explain the Bible references that they use for trichotomism?” and (2) “Can the nature of humanity be divided into three components as trichotomists assertion?” also will be considered.
