God created us in God's image; body, soul & spirit.
We spiritually die when we purposely rebel against God like the first Adam did. We get reborn spiritually when we accept Jesus Christ Lord and His atonement for our sins. We then are whole again and can pray 24/7 to God in Spirit and Truth.
Also it is promised from God that our corruptible body will put on a new everlasting body like Jesus rose from the dead in. Then we will be truly in the image of our resurrected Savior.

Man is not destined to be without a body, Adam and Eve were originally created perfect, never to die and live forever in the Garden. All who die will once again have a body at the Resurrection.
This is why there is a debate what happens to us while between bodies, some say you are a spirit in heaven or hell fully conscious until you receive a new body, or you are a resting spirit until the resurrection, dwelling in paradise (R.I.P. - Rest in Peace), or you may be in some subconscious state like a coma or dream until you arise in your new body either to be condemned or saved.
1 Corintihians 15
20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. ...42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven

Jehovah made the earth for a purpose, as he stated to the first human pair: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth . . . , have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth." (Genesis 1:28) Because they became disobedient, this couple failed to fill the earth with righteous families who would lovingly care for the earth and its plants and animals. But their failure does not make Jehovah's purpose fail. Thousands of years later, it was written: "God, the Former of the earth . . . , did not create it simply for nothing." He "formed it even to be inhabited." It is not to be destroyed, but "the earth endures for ever." (Isaiah 45:18; Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible) Jehovah's purpose for the earth will be realized: "My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do."-Isaiah 46:10.
We are purposed to stay on earth, not to be come spirit creatures.

God did not create the human body, we did, every time you chose to come back here you need a body. Do some studying
before you assume it tends to make an *** out of you. I will say again for all who listen, there are other kinds of Christ-ians out here we all don't think the same, and yes my friend there are those who are stuck in the old ways, but those who have eyes will see.

cinderella has it right. We will not be spirits, but glorified bodies. On Resurrection day when God calls us out of the grave we will be given a perfect immortal body to live on the new Earth. This is the teaching of early Christians but about 130 years ago the churches rejected all those teachings and went back to pagan ways.

We all have souls that will live on after the body dies. I believe that we live many lives. I do not know how our souls were created, no more than I know how the universe was created. Maybe we just always were. Maybe we traveled here from outer space billions of years ago. Well, that makes as much sense as two people in a garden who caused all of mankind to be punished for eating an apple.

I don't know the mind of God, but if you have a Bible handy maybe you could take it out and look at Geneisis (its in the front). In the third chapter it talks about the serpent decieving Adam and Eve and after they had par-taken of the forbidden fruit they realized they were naked. This, I believe, was when the glory of God fell off of them. They were spirit beings, clothed in God's own glory, but when they sinned their bodies were no longer in this perpetually glorified state. I'm no theologian, though. One day we will, once again be restored to the perfect glorious state.

Jehovah created his spirit sons for life in heaven. He later created humans for life right here on earth. If Adam had not sinned, wouldn't he be here on earth now? After wickedness has been cleared away from the earth, then Ps. 37:9 will be fulfilled. It says: "For the evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth."

Well I am a Christian and I was taught that when we die we go 2 "sleep". And after Armageddon passes that God will restore the earth to its original paradise form. The ones that make it through Armageddon will enter the paradise earth. Then that he will resurrect the dead and those who choose to be his followers and listen will inhabit the the earth and live forever as well.
