We will see in the scriptures that God places equal value on each of these 3 parts of man without overemphasizing any one of them. Some people place no value on the PHYSICAL part and overemphasize the SPIRITUAL or PSYCHOLOGICAL. Many write off the SOUL as evil along with the PHYSICAL. Many do not realize that God saw the physical so important that He, firstly, CREATED IT and secondly, HE BECAME A PHYSICAL MAN and suffered PHYSICAL PAIN to redeem man PHYSICALLY. Thirdly, the physical is so valuable to God that HE PLANNED THE RESURRECTION of the physical body to make it an IMMORTAL INCORRUPTABLE PHYSICAL BODY - and not a spiritual body as some suppose.

Phil. 3:20,21 For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will TRANSFORM our lowly BODY, that it may be CONFORMED to His GLORIOUS BODY. -Luke 24:39- Behold My hands and my feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, FOR A SPIRIT DOES NOT HAVE FLESH AND BONES as you SEE I HAVE. Mark 12:30- And you shall love the Lord your God with ALL your HEART, with ALL your SOUL, with ALL your MIND, and with ALL your STRENGTH. ~ The whole man - spirit, soul and body is to love God. In fact, the physical actions of man are sometimes indicative of the spiritual state. Prov. 20:27 - the SPIRIT of MAN is the candle of the Lord searching all the INWARD PARTS OF THE BELLY.

John 4:24 God is SPIRIT; and they that worship Him must worship Him in SPIRIT and in truth. ~ If God is SPIRIT then MAN IS SPIRIT since man was made in the image and the likeness of God. ~ Gen. 2:7- And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; and man became a living soul. - God is SPIRIT and breathed His breath of life into man. Thus the SPIRIT OF MAN comes from, and therefore has part of God in Him. Man's SPIRIT belongs to God. (Ecl. 12:6,7) and will return to God. This is the same breath that leaves your body shortly after you die. The breath of life, the spirit. (when someone who died breathe their last breathe)

Anyone who ever stood by someones death bed will know what im talking about. After you die and stop breathing, there is air that is left, and is breathed out from deep inside of you when you give your last breath.
THE DEFINITION OF THE SPIRIT: 2 Cor 4:8 - Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our OUTWARD MAN is perishing, yet the INWARD MAN is being renewed day by day. -

1 Pet. 3:3,4 - Do not let your adornment be merely OUTWARD... rather let it be the HIDDEN PERSON OF THE HEART, with the incorruptable beauty of a gentle and quiet SPIRIT, which is very precious in the sight of God. - * THE INWARD MAN, THE HIDDEN PERSON OF THE HEART. * These are accurate descriptions of the spirit of man because that is what the spirit is. The spirit is called the INWARD MAN whereas the body is called the OUTWARD MAN. The spirit is called the HIDDEN PERSON OF THE HEART showing that the spirit cannot be seen with the naked eye. We are to adorn it with GENTLENESS AND QUIETNESS. - this is what makes the spirit beautiful.

As 6j0 already wrote in his topic about body sleeps, nt soul, the original word for spirit is the primary Hebrew word RUACH (pro nounced roo' aag) which litterally means BREATH or WIND. so when God breathed the breath of life into man HE placed His Spirit into man. The Greek word is PNEUMA which also means BREATH or WIND and is used for the Holy Spirit, the human spirit, angels of God, demons and evil spirits.

POWERFUL endtimes. I pray the LORD will touch the minds of ppl read it. AMEN!

Neither satan nor his demons can speak into man's spirit; they speak into the soul. THE 3 ORGANS OR FUNCTIONS OF MAN'S SPIRIT: 1)CONSCIENCE (here the Holy Spirit convicts man of sin, righteousness and judgment) 2) INTUITION (God speaks into man's spirit 3)COMMUNION (Dialogue between God and man) - A man's spirit is the seat of His God-consciousness.
