It's funny. I just finished writing a reply to Twinky's post on the "Judging the Dead" thread, and then this deals with the same issue - TWI's definitions of body, soul, and spirit.
As I wrote to Twinky, if you study it carefully you'll find that "soul" in the Bible is not primarily the "breath life" that makes one alive. Genesis 2:7 says that God breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. It doesn't say man HAD a soul, but that he WAS a soul. Also, the word spirit is not used exclusively of the spirit of God. The spirit of man is what the Bible calls the breath life.
I wrote about it in more detail on my website here.
your study is good and I will read in more detail later
yes twi definitions on many things I question too
I believe adam was form as a egg or seed form to grow like a plant life and then planted in the waters to be made like animals then birth and then created image of spirit too
I believe mankind has a plant growth like image
I believe mankind has animal breath life with thinking, walking and etc like image
I believe mankind has spirit life or God like kind image
Now I believe the devil is not spiritually but only fleshly
at times when devils are called evil spirits it could be better translated evil images to me
Bio-Image is a good study to look into
which to me is the image the flesh cast off - the heat, the air it cast off, and so on
I been thinking about replying to "Judging the Dead"
Now I believe the devil is not spiritually but only fleshly
at times when devils are called evil spirits it could be better translated evil images to me
Roy, as you believe that a holy spirit whom we call God exists, what is so hard about also believing that an unholy spirit whom we call the devil also exists? And that lesser unholy spirits also exist (rather than are just "evil images" or perhaps bad thoughts?

Beloved Twinky
God loves you my dear friend
sorry I did not see your reply earier
I believe the devil or devil images exists but not as spirits but as fleshly images in the form of a animal being
When the devil trick Adam into killing his spiritual image it did not changed the devil
he was created greatest of all flesh images but Adam was created in the image of God
Adam only brought himself down to the lever of flesh image which did not uplift the devil
the devil claim leader of flesh over man thinking he could over power but God put him in his place
yes devils are bad thoughts, evil ideals, evil dreams, evil images in our mind
thank you
with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy
