Spirit

[Craig]

Please tell me if I understand your teaching correctly.

Christ came out of God the Father and was the first of all creation.

God the Father's spirit is the Holy Spirit.

God the Father gave Christ the Holy Spirit and they share the same spirit.

Christ and the Father are one in spirit through the same spirit they share, but they are not the same.

We receive Christ as the comforter and spirit of truth though the Holy Spirit.

Christ and the Father live in us through the Holy Spirit.

Do we have our own spirit?

If we do have a spirit what is it?

Does our spirit become one with the Holy Spirit in this life?

Does our spirit return to God when our body dies or does our spirit die also?

Thank you Ray!


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,
