question?
acomplishedartis:
I have been thinking and researching on this matter of the term 'spirit', and how be able to understand it more clearly-on a daily base. That is why I had saved this email on my bookmarks, it was writen on august 2006 and seems to me to have a very good response for this whole matter:
Every person (and animal) has a "spirit." There is no life without spirit. At death OUR spirit return to our God Who gave it to
us. Spirit does not die. But, spirit has no consciencousness of its own. It must be united with a body. That is why
there is coming a Resurrection of the DEAD. Adam's body had the spirit of God breathed into it and then Adam became a
LIVING SOUL. God's Holy Spirit is His Spirit of Holiness which imparts spiritual knowledge and spiritual character to those
who possess it. The wicked and unbelievers have a spirit that keeps them alive, but they have no spiritual perception of
spiritual truths because they do not possess the Holy Spirit of God living in us through Jesus Christ our Lord. ETc. Sorry,
but it would take days to answer your question in detail.
God be with you,

I am sure Ray can back up with Scripture what is he talking about, as we know that he have the good custom.

John:
"Breath" is how it's translated in Genesis.
Into your hands I commit my spirit. Having said that, He breathed His last.
Father, into your hands I commit the thing that you use to make me alive.
Father, into your hands I commit my life.
Father, I'm putting my life in your hands.
Father, I'm entrusting my life to you.
Father, my life is in your hands now.
As if to say His spirit / His life / His consciousness was never in the Father's hands before that point.
Well, that does it for me, everybody. I'll look forward to the other replies.
Gina:
Ray doesn't need to back up with Scripture that there is no consciousness in the breath of life, Moises, just like he doesn't need to back up with scripture that the dust of the ground that God used to form our bodies likewise has no consciousness. :)

Kat:
Well it seems to me that the breath of life, though it is a metaphor of spirit, they are perfectly in sync with each other. Because we know that when the breath leaves the body and a person "breathes no more" they are dead and the spirit also leaves the body at the same time. So as the literal breath is not really the spirit, it does seem to almost exactly coordinate with it. So God has given us a really close representation of what the spirit is like, it is even invisible (like spirit), so we all can relate to it. Even the dictionary has it in the definition of breath.
breath \"breth\ n 1 : the act or power of breathing 2 : a slight breeze 3 : air inhaled or exhaled in breathing 4 : spoken sound 5 : spirit
(Merriam-Webster)
mercy, peace and love
