There is no such thing as a "spirit", and nothing lives forever.

Man is a three part being, originating from creation. God made man of the dust of the ground (Body) and breathed into him the breath of God (spirit) and man became a living soul (soul). Throughout the Bible this three part being is taught. The breath of God is eternal and thus the spirit in man is eternal and will never cease to exist. The soul of man is the part of us that sins, and dies, and ends up in hell, whereas the spirit is the part that is "born again", (John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit) relates to God, (Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God), and is eternally saved. (1 Cor 5:5 ...his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus)
Today I am amazed how many people have totally confused the soul and the spirit and want to make them one. God has divided the soul from the spirit in His Word. (Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit...)

neither, it doesn't exist. once you get past all the religious dogma and ideology your life will be much better. we do have an "internal drive" which we equate and title as "the spirit within," but this is because we always have to explain things.....even those things which are impossible to explain. you think you have a spirit because someone a long time ago made it up and named it.......what you do have is a will and you can do with it what you want. One derivation of the archaic word "spirit" comes from "the knowing within." Know within yourself you possess the power to do anything you wish, without the guessing of the uneducated and fearful that dot the landscape. Remember, the "Trinity" was stolen from pagans as was most traditions and beliefs by the christians.......the whole thing is a sham.....look it up yourself. good luck & have fun.

The spirit of life we share with the lower form animals with one not being greater than the other. Is it eternal? To some extent it is, since it is the living energy that makes our cells function and energy cannot be destroyed.

The Bible plainly says that man "became a living soul..." at the creation of Adam. Read Ezekiel 18:4 and verse 20:
"The soul that sinneth it shall die!" But don't just take my word for it, look it up in your own Bible, and you will see the absolute PROOF that we are not possessed of an "immortal soul" at all, but that there is, in fact, a "spirit in man" of which the Bible speaks; that spiritual quality of the mind of we human beings which lifts us far above the animal plane; makes us human, made in the image and similitude of God, possessed of a conscience, able to build character, and creatures of free moral agency and volition.
The Bible plainly shows that, at death, there is no further consciousness! Solomon said, plainly, that he did not know whether the spirit returned to God, or went back down into the earth-but one thing he knew, as did David his father, there is no further consciousness in death!
What would God want with all of those "souls," anyway? Have you ever heard a sermon wherein the pastor tried to tell you what you will be doing the third year you are "up in heaven"? How about your thirtieth year, three hundredth year, or the end of your third millennium? Life on this earth can be fairly interesting-especially if it involves a good deal of education, travel, and a wide range of experience. As Solomon said, our eyes are never satisfied; our ears are never filled. our thirst and taste never truly sated. Just because we have seen one gorgeous sunset does not mean we want it to be our last, we are not yet tired of hearing the beautiful sounds of nature, of beautiful music, the voice of loved ones, the happy laughter of our own babies-in short, we human beings are never really through living so long as we can still enjoy life!
What if the Bible promises you, not "heaven" in some wraith-like condition of a "soul" wafting around shuffling through harp music for billions of years, but promises you, instead. the first one-thousand years of co-rulership with Jesus Christ busily straightening out the incredible evils that grip this planet?
What if the Bible issued to you such challenges as becoming a mayor, president, king or ruler over small or great countries? What if, once given the great wisdom, patience, understanding, vast knowledge and experience, you are also equipped with the spiritual POWER to carry out your edicts? What would you do? Would you see to it there was no more crime? Would you eradicate poverty? Would you do away with sickness and disease? Would you outlaw war? Would such an opportunity be desirable?
Believe it or not, Almighty God DOES offer you an opportunity to help straighten out this world in the millennial reign of Jesus Christ! And, believe it or not, God is going to outlaw war, yet, human nature will remain pretty much the same during the first one-thousand years of the rulership of God's kingdom on this earth!
No, the world is not a "soul farm" with thousands dying daily and going either to "heaven or to hell." YOUR OWN BIBLE TELLS YOU PLAINLY WHAT REALLY IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
