Where do you get that idea?
"Where do you get that idea?"
Knowledge and understanding are acquired piecemeal. The term spirit and the concepts regarding the term's meaning were created in ignorance. If knowledge and understanding are ever to be attained, then correction and refinement are needed.
The term historically has encompassed those things which are functions of mind and products of the functions of mind. The idea that spirits can have an independent existence from some physical machinery that provides for the functions of any particular spirit can be rejected on the basis of the law of conservation of energy. the very idea of energy is that it is what provides for animations, funtions and interactions in the first place.
The Biblical term spririt is consistent with mind and no other real object. Consider the passage Matt 12:32, Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
This passage is God's own words regarding the fundamental matters of forgiveness and redemption. He says that anyone that speaks a word against Him, will be forgiven, but that anyone that speaks a word against His Spirit will not be. It's not logical that God is distinguishing between Himself as animated by His Spirit and some other unanimated, or unfathomable condition. It is logical to think that God's reference to His Spirit refers to the things that He values that are the direct result of the funciton of His mind.
The other situation mentioned that God says is forgiven, is the equivalent of rejection in ignorance. that's not a rejection of what he values, but a rejection of something else, whatever it may be.
The concept of trinity also contains the idea that spirit is mind, which contains the personality and those things of value which are resultant from the purposeful exercise of mind. The spirit is the essence of a person w/o being a physical instance of that person. The body simply provides for a physical instance of person in this world and roughly the soul is a physical instance of that same person elsewhere. Body and soul are simply the physical machinery that provides for the functions of mind, or spirit.
Both man and God are a trinity per Gen 1:26-27, "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
This idea is consistent with those things that are resultant from deliberate exercise of mind and free will in this world being mapped onto the physical machinery of mind that exists elsewhere to provide for a physical instance of that person.
Note that the parable of the Garden in Gen and the actions of the characters in the parable apply to everyone and their own actions of mind. The actions of the characters in that parable did not result in some handed down defect of original sin. Neither the Jews, nor God believed it, and Ezekiel 18 refutes the Council of Oranges' claim. god notes in John 9 where the concept comes from.
