Humans were made mortal like the animals-from dust you came, to dust you shall return-explains fossil record. God separated us by creating us in His image, in His likeness-meaning we could communicate, reason, will, create and love. Animals and humans have souls-they die. Humans have spirits that return to God upon death (Ecclesiastes 12:7). Man was created to commune with God and "eat of the Tree of Life" and GAIN immortality. But, man and woman ate of the "Tree of Knowledge" and the punishment was death, not just physical death but eternal spiritual death as well or eternal separation from God. God even barred them from "eating" of the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge are symobolic of an express command by God. Follow God's will and live forever, don't and you will die. Adam and Eve usurped God's authority when deciding for themselves what is good or bad and right versus wrong. Your spirit in you is "quickened" when you are born again. Having the Holy Spirit in you is like a new birth because you are a new creation in Christ. You now have His mind and a part of Heaven already in you. You don't want to do the things that you once did and you look at everything totally different in the world and can understand and discern scripture, too.

you aren't "born" with a spirit, YOU ARE A SPIRIT born to a body! You are enternal and only 2% body and 98% spirit!
born again is just a term to say you feel alive in your faith.
You do not have to become "born again" if you have deep faith already.
Your spirit was born from God, and will return to God, Creator Source. What you experieince here also God knows about. It is a shared relationship. You do not need a middle man to connect to God.

Everyone has a spirit, and when you die the spirit leaves the body.
The spirit is no longer of any use to the body, the old body will be buried with all its aches and pains.
The Spirit will have have a new body called the spirit body, all the tears will be wiped away and there will be no more pain.
The spirit body will stay in the spirit world
until it moves up to heaven.

Yes!
GOD has Breathed into every human being's nostrils a SPIRIT when HE Created us:

Genesis chapter 2 verse 7:

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
(or living Spirit-man.)
------------------------------

Once you've asked JESUS to forgive you of all your lifetime Sins. And then asked JESUS to come Reign and live inside your heart. And Believe that HE died on the Cross for you so you would have to, that means your Spirit-woman .....Will......live forever in Heaven.
Either be when death takes you, miss, or by the Rapture happening.

-> 1st. Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

-> 1st.Thessalonians 4:17
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Yes and No.Now I would say yes.But history tells us that God breathed life into Adam making him a man without a Spirit. Thus if we ask from that point Adam had the Spirit of the Lord breathed into him as did Eve. After that the Spirit was indwell ed within us or was He? Judas walked with Jesus and yet the Word of God states he was filled with a demon,thus betraying his Lord and Savior. Was he spirit filled or lacking in faith? Great question.One that causes thinking and much study.

Spirit, in regards to humans is a body that has breath (or breathes) therefore, a body without spirit is a cadaver.

From the reasoning book:
Spirit

Definition: The Hebrew word ru´ach and the Greek pneu´ma, which are often translated “spirit,” have a number of meanings. All of them refer to that which is invisible to human sight and which gives evidence of force in motion. The Hebrew and Greek words are used with reference to (1) wind, (2) the active life-force in earthly creatures, (3) the impelling force that issues from a person’s figurative heart and that causes him to say and do things in a certain way, (4) inspired utterances originating with an invisible source, (5) spirit persons, and (6) God’s active force, or holy spirit. Several of these usages are here discussed in relation to topics that may arise in the field ministry.

Is there a spirit part of man that survives the death of the body?

Ezek. 18:4: “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (RS, NE, KJ, and Dy all render the Hebrew word ne´phesh in this verse as “soul,” thus saying that it is the soul that dies. Some translations that render ne´phesh as “soul” in other passages use the expression “the man” or “the one” in this verse. So, the ne´phesh, the soul, is the person, not an immaterial part of him that survives when his body dies.) (See the main heading “Soul” for further details.)

Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.” (The Hebrew word here translated “spirit” is a derivative of ru´ach. Some translators render it “breath.” When that ru´ach, or active life-force, leaves the body, the person’s thoughts perish; they do not continue in another realm.)

Eccl. 3:19-21: “There is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust. Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth?” (Because of the inheritance of sin and death from Adam, humans all die and return to the dust, as animals do. But does each human have a spirit that goes on living as an intelligent personality after it ceases to function in the body? No; verse 19 answers that humans and beasts “all have but one spirit.” Based merely on human observation, no one can authoritatively answer the question raised in verse 21 regarding the spirit. But God’s Word answers that there is nothing that humans have as a result of birth that gives them superiority over beasts when they die. However, because of God’s merciful provision through Christ, the prospect of living forever has been opened up to humans who exercise faith, but not to animals. For many of mankind, that will be made possible by resurrection, when active life-force from God will invigorate them again.)

Luke 23:46: “Jesus called with a loud voice and said: ‘Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit [Greek, pneu´ma´].’ When he had said this, he expired.” (Notice that Jesus expired. When his spirit went out he was not on his way to heaven. Not until the third day from this was Jesus resurrected from the dead. Then, as Acts 1:3, 9 shows, it was 40 more days before he ascended to heaven. So, what is the meaning of what Jesus said at the time of his death? He was saying that he knew that, when he died, his future life prospects rested entirely with God. For further comments regarding the ‘spirit that returns to God,’ see page 378, under the heading “Soul.”)

Yes, everyone is born with the Holy Spirit. he is the Lord and Giver of Life. He enters you at conception. That's why abortion is wrong. No, he doesn't come alive (he's already alive) when you are reborn, you do.

The spirit of man is his mind. Yes, everybody is born with a brain that, in time, produces a mind. Not everyone who has a brain uses it to improve his mental faculties. Some prefer to let it stagnate.

Those who were taught that, instead of reason, faith is a good tool to distinguish the true from the false, the real from the unreal, the just from the unjust, and the moral from the immoral let their mind be terribly damaged. They literally become poor in spirit.

Yes, we all have a spirit yearning to be filled with the presence of God. We do become alive when we become born again.
