No, when the Bible says he gave up the ghost it means he died.
But don't worry he rose from the dead on the third day.

No, it means his spirit left his body, just as ours will our bodies upon our deaths. Our being is actually a spirit being with a flesh shell - the spirit being is going to continue but the flesh shell will pass away. So our lives are actually spiritual lives to be lead not these fleshly lives as they will deteriorate. This is why it is important that we seek the kingdom of heaven and in our seeking the Holy Spirit will convict our spirit of its need for Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God and we will be given the opportunity to accept or reject him, which will then determine the outcome of our spiritual being.

Matthew 27:50 "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost." (KJV) "And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit." (NIV)
The word translated "ghost" or "spirit" is "pneuma," which means "a current of air, i.e. breath or a breeze" (Strong's Greek Dictionary). It comes from the root which means to breathe hard.
When God created Adam he breathed life into him. Basically, Jesus breathed his last and died.

That's an Old English term for dying. It means that the spirit of life departed from his mortal frame.

In the Bible, ghost means life.So, for example, when it says Jesus gave up the ghost, he basically gave up trying to fight death... He died.

It means He chose for His spirit to leave His body. It was at the moment of His body's death.

You need to work on this one a bit.
Maybe get a writer to punch it up for you.
As it stands, Christians will only laugh at you. They won't be insulted or outraged, as much as they will be amused.

no, God left His physical body. Some of the questions you ask are really simple. To better understand Christianity, may I suggest you ask Jesus Christ (God) for guidance. =)

No! That means His Spirit left Him and He died.
