A perfect explaination Bernie. If we had a spirit that wandered off to live somewhere else, why would we need the ressurection Jesus promised us in the last day? Truth is, its the Devils original lie that we "dont die"from Adams disobeying God, we do die, not live somewhere else, but only live in Gods memory. If constiousness was a function of the spirit, or soul, how come people with organic brain damage suffer loss of said conciousness?

Our cells are constantly being replaced, such that it has been estimated that in 7 years time you will not contain a single cell that you do now. I.e., your physical body has been rebuilt. Yet you will still be the same character, more or less. Hence, we each have a spirit. The spirit is unaffected by loss of limb (see Philip's posting on Kirlian photography). So the whole question boils down to the survival (or not) of the spirit after physical death. And my answer is: a) that 'Jesus' told us to fear the one who can throw both body and spirit into the fire - implying that this is not the preferred option - implying that the spirit can and should survive physical death; b) faith.

Your reply was, I think, that your spirit will depart your body and you body will decay. How do you know this?
