In these times there arrive far too many false teachings. Those who errantly believe. And those who wilfully deceive.

God says....
Is all that matters.

Man is born spiritually dead. This has never meant humans are born without a spirit.
Rather,it means our flesh and worldly consciousness operates on a material level.

It doesn't mean we do not have a spirit within.

Being human means our mortal consciousness is unable to understand the things of God. As told to us in 1st Corinthians 2.

Remember Genesis.
When God made Adam,he breathed into Adams nostrils. And Adam became a living soul,spirit.

“In the spirit, God as the Spirit dwells; in the soul, our self dwells; and in the body, the physical senses dwell. God sanctifies us, first, by taking possession of our spirit through regeneration (John 3:5-6); second, by spreading Himself as the life-giving Spirit from our spirit into our soul to saturate and transform our soul (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18); and last, by enlivening our mortal body through our soul (Romans 8:11, 13) and transfiguring our body by His life power (Phillipians 3:21).”
 
Adam became a living soul, not a living soul,spirit. Gen.2:7

The Holy Spirit indwells the body, not the spirit and that has only occurred since Pentecost. 1Cor.6:19 Before then, the Holy Spirit came upon men Num.11:25 Jud.3:10 1Sam.11:6 bringing them the word. 1Kings 18:1 Jer.1:4

God does not take possession of our spirit, He generates or gives birth to a spirit. Jn.3:6 The Holy Spirit does not "spread" Himself through us. It is Christ in me that is the glory visible Gal.2:20 2Cor.3:18 made possible by the Spirit bringing the truth, who is Christ Jn.16:13-14 to renew our thinking according to that truth. Rom.12:2 We are to let that truth dwell in our hearts richly Col.3:16 and the peace of God that comes from that truth, not a saturation of Spirit, but the word of Christ will guard our hearts and minds (values and thinking) from the lies of the Devil. Phil.4:7 Our mortal bodies are not enlivened through our soul, but through the Spirit indwelling our bodies. Rom.8:11 This occurs as we walk in accordance with the Spirit, for in such a walk Rom.8:13 the sin nature, which is in the body, Rom.7:23 has no control over our bodies sending it's self serving impulses to deceive our minds. Rom.7:24-25 Finally, the Lord will raise this mortal body from the grave (if one has died physically before His return) and transform it from corruptible to incorruptible, from mortal to immortal giving us a spiritual body like His. 1Cor.15:42-44 Phil.3:21

Do not let ignorance and/or tradition lead you astray as it did the Pharisees. Pray, pray, pray, study, study, study. There is always much to learn. :)
 
Two objects cannot occupy the same space. This is God's promise found in Ezekiel 36:26:

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."

Jesus went to the cross to die for our sins. But God includes us in the death of Jesus. If all God had to do was to make our old, dead spirit alive again, we would not need to be crucified.

God's way of maturing the believer is always "change by exchange". The mind, emotion and will are not inherently evil. They reflect what is in the heart. So God's way is the initial death and resurrection to new life in Christ. Then our minds must be renewed. Out with the old way of thinking, in with the new. Our emotions must be used to express what is in our spirit man. We learn not to trust emotion, which is how we used to live. Out with the old way of reacting, in with the new. And most of all, the will has to be directed towards God instead of the old, independent, proud and rebellious choices we used to make before we were saved.

Again, God employs the cross. This time, it is our responsibility to choose God's ways, thoughts and attitudes in place of we learned in the world. This is a lifetime of learning. And comes only by taking up our cross.​

Strewth. Get off your high horse. You don't even look at the proper usage of the Greek and Hebrew or the context in which they are used. Your "study" is rife with errors and contradictions and is downright sloppy. You substitute words you don't like, ignore how they are used in other places and refuse to see the multi meaning of words.

I have wasted enough breath on you. Anyone is free to go back over our conversation and see how you substitute the word nekros in Eph.2:1, how you ignore how anothen is used in other places from Jn.3:3, and how you refuse to see that the word translated spirit can mean breath which all living soul creatures have.

Goodbye.
A living soul is living only because of the spirit. So long.

Strewth; Shortened form of the old phrase " God's truth ", thanks. I know you mean that in it's original form, and again I say, thanks :-))

You should do more homework. The origin is unknown. It may be "God's truth" or it may be "it is truth", no-one really knows. It's usage is not as you have tried to make it either. Strongly recommend you don't try and tell an Aussie how to use their language.

You were born without a spirit.

You are free to believe that.

God never said it.

True.
The natural humans spirit is unable to understand the things of the holy spirit.

This doesn't mean we as natural man do not have a spirit.

The holy spirit quickens our dormant spirit and it is then by that link that we are able to understand how the Gospel makes sense and applies to us.

Any teaching that insists we are born without a spirit is not of God,or his word.

But,those are proofs those natural memories nds cannot understand the things of God.

Like I said I can say the same of you.

Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Your arrogance will be the death of you.
You're a child.
"Same to youuuuu!"

Is a minor child's retort.

Zechariah 12:1
A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel.

The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares...

You are insisting that above isn't true.
When God declares it.

" God's truth " or" it is truth " either works for me and again, thanks :-)))

King James Version Zechariah 12:1 " The burden of Word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him." Tell Sawdust it doesn't say " righteous " man or " saved " man or " redeemed " man. it says man, period.

Our souls are self conscious, our bodies are world conscious and our spirits are God conscious. If we had no spirit, we could not be conscious of God, only self and world conscious. The Holy Spirit calls only His own kind, made in His image.

I no longer see their posts.
They are not here to learn. Or respect the word.

Muslimah peopless They have already chosen the Mother of God as an inspiration, I do not understand in Protestantism because it is so difficult to recognize its figure of primary importance.

Well, I would says that the figure of primary importance of Christianity is Jesus Christ Himself. That is why it is called "CHRISTianity."

Of course, but it is not correct to deny the figure of the mother as a carrier of life in her womb, it makes it very clear only the inept could deny it. Blessings

If Mary was such an important figure in Christianity, it is remarkable in the extreme that she is only mentioned in the first three gospels, and once in Acts. She is not mentioned at all in any of the New Testament epistles. She is not portrayed as the figure of prime importance in Christianity. In saying that, I am certainly not denying her, or saying that she didn't really give birth to Jesus. The Bible says she did, and we read of the angel, and Elizabeth, saying that she was blessed among women.
