It's not a fragmented spirit, which is redeemed, but it is a fragmented soul (mind, will, emotions). That's why sometimes you keep going back and thinking of past relationships when you should be perfectly satisfied with your marriage partner; your soul is "tied" to that person in an unhealthy way. He used the scripture about sexual sins being different than any other type of sins.
Wow, I think that is an excellent way to explain it. I think a lot of young people would benefit from that viewpoint.
