Let us revisit a subject, if you will. When in the book of James it reads " For as the body without the spirit is dead,..." James 2:26 the word dead here is, Strong's 3498; nek-ros from prim. nekus ( a corpse ), dead lit. or fig, also as a noun dead, This speaks of people who are no longer alive. In Eph. 2:1 it reads " And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;..." The word dead here is the same in James but it can't mean no life because to be in sin you have to be alive. So to study it out I found Strong's 3499, which is derived from 3498; nek-ro; TO DEADEN, I.E. subdue:- be dead, mortify. So the word dead DOES mean deadened in this case, as in our deadened spirits before being quickened, Strong's 2227 dzo-op-oy-eh-o;( re)-vitalize, (lit. or fig.)- make alive, give life, quicken. You revitalize, make alive and give life to something that's already in existence. C'mon Sawdust, gimme some more rope, unless, of course, you have use for it yourself) P.S. Are you one of the ones who don't understand the Bible or one of those that do?
You have no clue as to what can happen to these words when they are seen within its Greek syntax .
You are missing the point entirely.
Not my teacher. That is your set-up.
God quickens our spirits at the new birth. You're talking about getting revelation revealed by the Holy Spirit, and Him bringing the Word to our remembrance. These don't bring about a revitalization of our souls it brings about a renewing of our minds(souls), pushing out the old way of thinking, not revitalizing it. We are to be led by our spirits, not our souls. Our souls (minds, wills and emotions) must decrease while we grow spiritually stronger by taking Gods' thoughts and making them our own.
I never called you a liar, I just asked you to be open and honest about your conversion experience. it might help someone. You only said that your conversion was irrelevant with no reasons given. God uses a lot of avenues for us to learn of Him, with the Bible being the foundational main source, but peoples testimonies, things He brings us through in life ( our experiences), etc., etc., also helps us understand His nature, character and trustworthiness, thereby we also learn of Him. We can't box God in.
I never tried to explain anything about plucking out eyes or cutting off hands, that wasn't the subject. Did you just try a diverse tactic? Stay on point Genez, focus.
" A body cannot function or be considered alive without a spirit." THAT'S been my point all along, even BEFORE salvation man has a spirit, where you guys say that you only have a spirit AFTER salvation. There you go again with the name calling. Let me count, simple minded, stupid, the devil, etc., hmm, anymore you'd like to add Nezey? Again, I NEVER POSTED THAT MAN WAS BORN WITH A DEAD SPIRIT. Your point has been rounded off, that's why I'm missing it, it's not there.
How can you be spiritually dead if you don't have one? But you can, according to Strong's NT3499- nek-ro-o, have a deadened one, that can be quickened.
Beautiful song, is that you singing?Grace
P.S. Again, we are born with deadened spirits because of being "...shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Psm 51:5

Now you're going into the future to try to tell me what I MIGHT say. So, are you a prophet now Nezzy? Yes, He's speaking of a literal eye, but just like His turning the other cheek reference He doesn't mean for us to literally do it. Why, you may ask? Because when the soldier slapped Him He didn't turn the other cheek, He asked why.
Stay with it, I hear breakthrough.No, the music and voice are ai generated to a style prompt I fashioned hoping to get a good
result for my lyrics, which is like trying to herd cats as I say, and can be quite crazy making
because some prompts work well for certain songs and then others I have generated over a
hundred versions of and still am thinking, surely there is something that can be better than
what I have gotten so far? But it is part of my personal testimony and I thank you for indirectly
calling for it... I have written other testimony type songs but this one may be the best... late last
year I started generating music to poetry I had written in the 70s and 80s, and when I ran out
of that I collected Scripture verses around specific themes for perhaps six songs or so, and they
turned out well but did not scratch my desire to be creative, and so that was when I started
composing original modern devotional praise and worship testimonials. My channel says 90 songs
but a few are dupes for one reason or another and some are private also. If I look at my playlist on
my phone it says 77 videos. Still it may only be 70 original songs and also Cameron gave me
permission to put some of his poems to music, so two of them are on my channel as well
This is one of Cameron's that I generated music for:
Heh, lately I have been on a bit of tear working certain words into songs like propitiation and reconciliation... I think
Again and Again and Again, I HAVE NEVER POSTED THAT ANYONE HAD OR HAS A DEAD SPIRIT and since you won't accept Strong's definition of dead in the Greek 3499 nek-ro-o ( I guess because you know soooo much better then they) you will remain dull of hearing and stay in error.
