Good, then we can move on to what the
scriptural definitions of life and death might be.
Have we established the fact that
God, Satan, and mankind are all spirit and all commune spirit
to spirit?.
Job tells us "there is a spirit in man
and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding
(32:8)
Moses & Aaron knew "O God, the God of
the spirits of all flesh" (Num 16:22)
In Proverbs we are told "the spirit of
man is the candle of the Lord searching all the inward parts of
the belly (20:27)
Proverbs also teaches that "perverseness
is a breach in the spirit" (15:4)
Where is man's
spirit?
The spirit is not the body and the spirit
is not the mind; the heart of man is his spirit
A merry heart makes a cheerful
countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken
(Prov 15:13)
A man's spirit can sustain his infirmity
but a broken spirit who can bear (Prov 18:14)
God says "I formeth the spirit of man
within him" (Zech 12:1)
Any problem with the above?

Thank you, Judy. Yes, I am very
happy to agree with you on all of these things. Bill
Bill, could
we discuss some areas where we do agree allowing scripture to
interpret scripture
because for me it is totally
frustrating to have to go
the long route by way of Gk philosophy, logic,
etc.
Could we agree on the following for a
start?
God is a Spirit (John
4:24)
Man is primarily spirit, soul, and
body (1 Thess 5:23)
Satan is a spirit (Heb 1:7) he
is a fallen angel and angels are spirits
If we can agree on the above then
hopefully we can move on to what God means when He speaks
of
life and death - rather than
replicating the errors of the
ancients.
