Yup, we can definitely agree on something, and that is that we definitely believe differently.
Aircleanpost--Well at least this is one place we agree. Perhaps there are others?
I personally believe you have totally misunderstood
1 Corinthians-15: 44. Yes, the body is "
sown in decay", a claim which modern day science agrees with since it claims that all
matter in form is in a constant state of something it calls "
atrophy", which means that all matter in form is in a constant state of deterioration and decay. Without the energy of life the body decays.
Airclean-post--Not all things were meant to be that way, I mean Man was sett above animals. I not think Adam was made to die. GOD condemned it later ,after Adams sin. You are right about the body still now dies. But those who have Christ , there Spirit can not die . So they are save from the second death Hell

But the words "
a spiritual body is raised", as Paul describes it, could just as easily be interpreted as "
awareness", for in awareness the raising of a spiritual body is revealed to us.
Think about this. W
ithout awareness "the natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them ..", 1 Corinthians 2 14.
Airclean--post--
But the Bible dose not say awareness. It says SPIRIT. Well you are here on earth you are call a child of Man. why because you are of flesh and blood , that is what you as a Human were born of. John 1-13 Tells me , when I accept The Lord Jesus Christ , I am no longer of flesh an blood . But I am boon of GOD who I believe is Spirit.
All Glory Is His.
Neo--
This claim is supported elsewhere in the Bible, indicating that spirit has always existed in both God and man; it's not something that is simply "given to us" because we follow Christ.
Airclean--post--
I have ask you before, were do you believe we came from , before we were put into the body. For GOD said I knew you before you were born an the earth was made. Your science have claim this earth is hundreds of thousands of years old. I believe it may well be.
GOD said" I new you before the earth was formed. Who are you?

Paul knew this when he prayed that the "whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord", 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
Airclean--post--
Here again Neo you seem to be getting it mixed again. AS a living save living person of Christ. We are expected to to keep are wanton flesh in check. Are thoughts also must be kept under control. Peter new even though saved" . He could be tricked into doing wrong . As Paul showed him.

Spirit, in it's most mundane definition, is "energy". All matter is made up of sub-atomic particles of charged energy, therefore matter in form is nothing but a kind of "frozen energy". Without the energy of life the body of form quickly begins to decay and fall apart. It takes energy to maintain form. Without energy the form falls back to it's basic parts.
Airclean--post--
First I don't believe you" or any one else knows what the Spirit is maid of.
When The Spirit, leaves the body dies. agreed. But we are told the life of the body is blood. Many have had a out of the body experience and yet the body did not die.
Neo--post--
Spirit, in it's Biblical definition, is that elusive thing the Greeks called "pneuma" and what the Hebrews called "ruach". Both words literally meaning "wind" or "breath" of life. Spirit is that elusive force that gives life to all living things. Without spirit, the form returns to the earth and the spirit-energy-breath returns to God, see Ecclesiastes 12:7 . "Without spirit, the body is dead", James 2:26. Spirit is the polar opposite of matter, where spirit (energy) is formless and matter (the body) is form.
Airclean--post--
I have agreed that the body without the spirit is dead.
Neo--post--
Soul, on the other hand, is that intermediate between spirit and matter and is often mixed up with the word spirit. The Greeks called soul the "psyche", the mind of man, whereas the Hebrews called it "nephesh", the living or breathing being. Soul is the life of spirit in physical form. Think about this.
Airclean--post--Did you not read what GOD said , I sent you 1Cor 15:44.
There is a
Physical Body, and a Spirit Body". .
I see nothing of a soul body. So as I have said before spirit and soul, are one an the same . I know you are trying to show here. who you are is the soul . I call it your spirit. We also receive a gift from GOD His Spirit" to be with us for ever. We will also have a Body that is Pure , Because it is of Christ Jesus. but not in this life .
Jeo--post--
It is the agency of how spirit manifests into form and becomes aware of the body of form. The soul, in this context, is therefore representative of the Christ aspect, the intermediate between God and man. Paul knew this when he said "
Christ in you, the hope and glory",
Colossians 1:27
Airclean--post
Do you understand Paul is talking to the church, that is to those who have received Christ Jesus as Lord? Colossians 1:2. he was not speaking to the world.
Neo--post
So we have a trinity of forces: the body (soma-matter), the soul (psyche-mind), and the spirit (pneuma-breath).
The Tibetan says the following of the interrelationship between body, soul and spirit:
Airclean --post--This may be , as I am not Tibetan follower.

"Matter is the vehicle for the manifestation of soul on this plane of existence, and soul is the vehicle on a higher plane for the manifestation of spirit, and these three are a trinity synthesized by life, which pervades them all. Through the use of matter the soul unfolds and finds its climax in the soul of man."

It would seem your Master DK has no room for Christ Jesus.

"The goal of realization for man is consciousness of the nature of the Soul, the medium through which the Spirit aspect ever works"

That's your belief , fine Neo. I am not of that belief.
Neo--post--
The Bible says that spirit exists in all of us and that in spirit (and not body or the mind) we should worship God. Meaning that spirit exists in man even before he begins to worship, and is not something simply given to him at a later date. It is something that we discover through awareness.

Yes Neo , as I'v said man is Spirt and flesh. This is the spirit of who you are. It is a living thing . This is you "that has been condemned to hell because of your sin. Your flesh was already condemned in Gen. Christ never came to save your flesh, He came to save your Spirit . I believe because it is a part of GOD.
