Please show us not less than 3 bible verses that back up your slightly worrying theology above.

Truth, being the Word of the Lord, is universal and applies to every living human being in this 'Creation' which is the Work of the Lord. When you say show me verses in the Bible, and the moslem says show me verses in the Quran and the Hindu says show me verses in the Bhagavad Gita, .....etc; then there can be no end to it all. Every human being has been blessed with an inner faculty called the 'intuitive faculty' or 'inner voice' with which we are meant to weigh and evaluate truth. We should learn to use it more when some information is presented to us. If what I have written strikes you inwardly as being true, then accept it, otherwise you should leave it alone. The intuitive faculty NEVER errs but man refuses to make use of it , relying instead on his intellect which always fails him when assessing spiritual matters!

I hope the following will be of help for those who truly seek answers to the original question posed:
Spirit is indeed the core of man and is the living essence in Man. It had existed in the Spiritual Realm (Paradise) as a spirit-germ i.e. immature and without experience but needed to travel down into cooler regions where it could go through the necessary experiencing which would enable it attain the needed maturity before it can return home(paradise) as a fully conscious and mature spirit which can then contribute positively and tangibly to the Activity up there in Paradise. In descending to the World of Matter (which is where the Earth is) the spirit-germ had to cover itself with a number of cloaks before finally taking on the final cloak we call the physical body here on earth. When man dies, it is only the outermost cloak (the physical body) that is laid aside. The spirit, together with its other cloaks forms the "Soul" and this Soul passes over to the Ethereal sphere in order to continue its further experiencing there. If it is able to 'complete' its experiencing in the Ethereal Realm and attains the requisite maturity, it will again shed its ethereal cloak and proceed higher until it finally returns to Paradise as a pure and fully mature spirit. That is the path of development for the the spirit of Man. Most spirit-germs however are not able to make it back to Paradise as we get entangled in the superficiality of earthly pursuits of wealth, fame and ego-trip!
