R.C. Sproul calls it a false teaching, is it?

For what is worth I agree with Sproul after reading his article in the Reformation Study Bible, It just clicked for me.

I have that Bible somewhere, I'll have to look it up.

If I recall correctly Martyn Lloyd-Jones held to trichotomy--body, soul and spirit.

Thanks guys, I did find a few some scripture on the subject so I typed it out and saved it.

Soul and spirit used interchangeably the follow verses when speaking of death:

Genesis 35:18
1 Kings 17:21
Psalm 31:5
Luke 23:46
Acts 7:59

Soul and spirit are used interchangeably to describe the non-physical aspect of man that endures death and lives on:

Hebrews 12:23
1 Peter 3:19
Revelation 6:9
Revelation 20:4

Soul and spirit are used interchangeably when the Bible speaks of our communion with God:

Romans 8:16
1 Corinthians 6:20
Hebrews 6:19
James 1:21

More Support of the Dichotomous View:

Genesis 2:7
Job 32:8
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Isaiah 10:18
Matthew 10:28
1 Corinthians 5:3-5
1 Corinthians 7:34

Any thing else I should read on this topic?

1 Thess. 5:23-24 seems to be a big verse the tri's use, which commentary does a good job on this verse? Does the Greek word kai in this verse placed between spirit and soul mean they are different?

Peace,
