It is speaking of the life of the body which, is physical and that life relies on us breathing, not on having a human spirit. If we had a spirit, we would not need to be born spiritually, we would have already been born spiritually and would be able to relate to God. However, we cannot relate to...

πνεύματος (pneumatos): Genitive of "spirit" or "breath." The Greek word pneuma is a euphemism for breathing/wind; thus, the text draws a wordplay where a body without breath is dead, just as faith without works is spiritually dead. Nothing deceptive on my part, not my fault you can't see past...

What are we called here: Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered...

That is a description of how we are made up, it isn't calling us spirits.

It was already waste, doesn't become waste because I clean it up. You make as much sense when dealing with practical things as you do when dealing with spiritual things. I'm not even going to try and sort that mess above out. No, it says the body without breath/vitality is dead.

Wrong. Show me where we are called spirits?

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit inspired John to...

Why don't you show some respect and refer to people by their proper handle or at least ask if it is ok first. You wouldn't like it if we referred to you in whatever manner we chose. Btw. I'm not Sawdie. My friends call me Dusty but you can call me sawdust.

Your argument regarding that verse has never been who knows the answer to the question so why you are wasting space with this now, I don't know. I have twisted nothing, ruach can mean breath, fact! Context and comparison demands understanding. You ignore, deny and misrepresent (as shown below)...

You are the one chasing your tail not me. I press on toward the goal, trusting Christ to finish what He began in me. I know I am helpless and hopeless to keep His commands which, is why I rest in Him through faith alone. That is when the miracles happen. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me...

Have you not read the book of Acts? Prison doors flying open, people dropping dead for lying to God, people being laid in the street so Peter's shadow could fall on them and be healed? Not sure what more you want. :unsure:

Not weird, it was a simple thing to understand. He was telling you the source of your life is not in your blood.

Yes, the body without breath is dead. I did say breath or life in general. Look it up, you don't need to take just my words. Why don't you explain how an animal can have a spirit if they are made from the earth and not born of God?

Honestly? I'm not sure if that really applies here as he doesn't seem to learn a thing. :unsure: Takes more than ankle weights to keep me down. ;) :D

No, we weren't talking abut existing on earth, we were talking about having life. You contended we no longer had human life when we died physically because our life is in our blood. post#1895 You realised what you said was incorrect when it was pointed out we continue to exist after physical...

No you haven't. All you have proven is you refuse to see words can have various meanings and context determines their best use and you have a tendency to ignore or deny context. The word translated spirit can mean breath or the life of something in general which is how it is being used in the...

Are you blind? The scripture plainly states the life of the flesh is in the blood. What life is your flesh? Is it your spiritual life or your physical life? Animals do not have a spiritual life, they are not born of God. Their life which, comprises body and soul, is in their blood because the...

Where does it say in scripture we have to invite the Holy Spirit in? We are told to believe and Christ will baptize us with the Spirit. No invitation necessary. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of...

True, also true some don't even need the (direct) influence of demons as their own sin nature strokes their ego so well. ;)

Keeping His commands is the evidence of salvation, not the beginning of it. It begins and ends with Christ. If you are resting in Him, believing His Word, and allowing grace to do the work, in the power of the Spirit, you will keep His commands. The Christian walk is very specific and narrow...
