Bless you Laura,
Is it OK if I submit a few scriptures for consideration ..... Question is are we spiritual beings or are we souls with bodies?
Scripture teaches us that "God is a Spirit" John 4:24 - so how was Adam made in His Image aside from being created a spiritual being?
In Job we learn "There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding" (Job 32:8)
David believed the same when under great duress he wrote  "Into thine hand I commit my Spirit" (Psalm 31:5)
Jesus on the cross right before giving up the ghost cried "Father into thy hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46)
Stephen while being stoned cried "Lord Jesus receive my spirit" (Acts 7:59)
 
 
 
I have been thinking about this thread and in my opinion, we are born with a body and have a soul which represents life. I guess we could say we are a soul to be correct.  We receive the HS when we are saved.  Then when we die the soul goes to be with the Lord.  Do we even need the spirit because we will be in the presence of God the Father.  Just some rambling thoughts but I definately think the body and soul are two different things.  Laura
