Dear Dwight:
ALL men (and animals) have a spirit. This spirit gives life to the body and produces soul (feelings, thinking, emotions, etc.). But God dwells in our hearts and minds by way of His HOLY Spirit, which is a different spirit.
God be with you,
Ray

(Question to Ray)
THerefore SInce the "SPIRIT" (holy spirit) is THE LORD(the father), the father must be the spirit.
COMMENT: The "Spirit" is the possession of God the Father--it is "The Spirit OF God." However, God has given His Son Jesus Christ this SAME spirit. God has shared ALL with His Son: "ALL power in heaven and earth is given Me" (Matt. 28:18). Jesus takes of the Spirit His Father has given Him and gives it to US (John 16:15). The "Comforter" (the "parakletos) IS JESUS. "And if any man sin, we have an Advocate [Gk: 'parakletos] with the Father, JESUS CHRIST the righteous" (I John 2:1). Jesus Christ IS, the Lord of the Old Testament; the Lord of the New Testament, the Comforter (Parakletos), which is the promised Holy Spirit, which comes to us through JESUS CHRIST, and so "The Lord is that SPIRIT."
God be with you,
Ray

Ray has taught about the Holy Spirit in many of his articles.
In the article 'Is God a Closed Trinity or an Expanding Family?' you will find these subheadings; The “Holy Spirit” - Who and what is God - Who and what is Jesus Christ? - Who or what is the Holy Spirit?
Here is the link http://bible-truths.com/twelve.htm
Also the 2007 Nashville Conference audio has a lot of teaching about the Spirit of God.

1 Cor 2 : 11-12 For what man knoweth the things of a man save the SPIRIT OF MAN which is in him: even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the SPIRIT OF GOD. 12. Now we have received, not the SPIRIT OF THE WORLD, but the SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
I notice the following...1. The spirit OF MAN. 2. The Spirit OF GOD. 3. The spirit OF THE WORLD.
Paul writes Phil 4 : 23 The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with YOUR SPIRIT.
Peace be to you

Is the spirit of man the same as the spirit of life that every person receives? Also is this verse saying a man knows everything about himself except the spirit of man within himself?

Deborah-Leigh:
Hello mharrell08
Nowhere in the Scripture, as far as I know, is there any mention of a the spirit of life. No where in Scripture is there any mention that everyone receives this spirit of life. This so called spirit of life is not in the Word of God. If it is, please show me where.
The spirit of man is the spirit of man. The spirit of man is created by God and given to man.
As offered for consideration by Kat here again is what Ray teaches, quote : ALL men (and animals) have a spirit. This spirit gives life to the body and produces soul (feelings, thinking, emotions, etc.). But God dwells in our hearts and minds by way of His HOLY Spirit, which is a different spirit.
The Spirit of God is a quote, "different" spirit than the spirit of man. The Spirit of God is Holy. The spirit of man in not holy....not yet.
There is such a thing as an evil spirit.
The Spirit of Truth is the Holy Spirit that is Christ.
Peace be to you

mharrell08:
Sorry about that Arcturus...I mistook the "breath of life" for "spirit of life" from Genesis Chapter 2...
Also, can you help me with this verse 1 Cor 2 : 11-12 For what man knoweth the things of a man save the SPIRIT OF MAN which is in him: even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the SPIRIT OF GOD. 12. Now we have received, not the SPIRIT OF THE WORLD, but the SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Is that saying a man knows everything about himself except the spirit of man within himself?
Deborah-Leigh:
Hello mharrell08
It is quite plain. 1 Cor 2 : 11 -12 is not saying anything else but what it is saying. It did not say that a man knows everything about himself and his spirit does not.
Here is another translation that might make this clearer for you.
For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of a man within him? So also no one has known the things of God except the Spirit of God. But we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit from God; that we may know the things freely given to us by God. (The Interlinear Bible)
Peace be to you
