The word spirit as used in the OT and NT (ruah/pneuma) stands twice as often for the wind/power of God as it does for the breath/feelings/will of Man.
Basically, it means air, breath, wind, but it can be used in some other contexts. In the New Testament Pneuma is translated the following ways:
ghost, Ghost (with Holy), life, spirit, spiritual gift, spiritually, wind.

14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my WIND prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

15 What is it then? I will pray with the WIND, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the WIND, and I will sing with the understanding also.

In your ignorance, you fail to know that the word used for bad breath in Job 19:17 is ruach which invariably will be translated as pneuma in greek...the same word translated as spirit in this verse.

The passage from 1 Thessalonians 5:23 lay emphasis clearly on the whole person, not on a person composed of three parts. For Godsake, the word translated as spirit in Rev. 11:11 is the same as that translated as "life" in Rev. 13:15. A glance through the pages of the Bible will tell you that spirit in some instances is being used to denote emotional states. This verse is another way saying "may you be kept blameless..."
If I say Jesus is my Lord and Savior, am I referring to two persons?

1 Cor 2:10b–12:
For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

Did you get the message? The Spirit man may think he has is from God. So next time you read "my spirit" in reference to a man in the Bible, check the context.

Now I expect you to know that "unclean spirit", not unclean "spirit" is a phrase meaning a demon/ghost. This a compound word that can not defined separately.

The word translated to soul in both the old and new testament refers to living being in both hebrew and greek. We die when God withdraws his breath (spirit)
Psalm 104:29-30 ...'Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.'
Job 34:14-15 ...'If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.'
Thesalonian 5:23 does not prove otherwise.

 23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole BREATH and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

. Act 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy BREATH said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

1 cor 14

14  For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my BREATH prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

 15  What is it then? I will pray with the BREATH, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the BREATH, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Mat 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean breaths, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Everything we have is given by God. I just showed you that irrefutable fact that man was made of just dust and became a living with the breath (spirit) of God -Gen. 2:7. Except of course, if you mean the Bible is lying. And keep it in mind that the meaning of spirit as used in the Bible, means "breath", "air".
Don't bother to argue this with me if you hold the belief that we have souls that live on after we die.

23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Arusha, Tanzania (CNN) A Nigerian start-up founder has created a device that he says can be used to detect the smell of explosives and even cancer cells.

The device, called Koniku Kore, is the first to fuse live neurons from mice stem cells into a silicon chip.
Osh Agabi said: "We merged synthetic neurobiology with traditional silicon technology with the goal of fixing urgent real world problems."

Silicon Valley-based Agabi unveiled his invention at TEDGlobal conference in Tanzania on Sunday and says it could one day revolutionize airport security, enabling travelers "to walk from their car to the aircraft."

"One of the problems that plagues us right now is security," he tells CNN.
"Explosives have particles and smells coming off the individual and with our device you can tell, without requiring line of sight or contact, you can scan them at the time at a place of your own choosing and you can get into an aircraft and go about your business."


The invention could also be used to sniff out illnesses in the same way dogs can detect cancerous cells via smells.
"In the same way that a dog is able to detect if someone has prostrate cancer, the real question we ask is 'how does a dog do it?' We can clone that process on our chip, so yes in the same way that a dog can detect diseases or explosives at an airport, it's a sensory system, that is essentially what we recreate in our chip," Agabi says.

Koniku, which means 'immortal' in the Nigerian Yoruba language, started in 2015 and has already raised $8 million in revenue, according to the founder Agabi.
"We believe quite strongly that it's going to be run with biological brains that are made with synthetic biological neurons. That is the declared intention of our company: to build a brain."

Hope and hype around cancer immunotherapy
Addressing ethical concerns and implications of creating humanoid devices, Agabi says: "I think it's unethical not to deploy any resources we have to fight terrorism. It is the urgent problem that we face as a species."

"That's not to say that we shouldn't be careful of bio-integrity," he adds.
A self-described "scrawny, nerdy kid," Agabi grew up in the suburb of Surulere in Lagos, Nigeria and obtained a Bachelors degree in Physics from University of Lagos.
He went on to do further studies in physics and neuroscience in Sweden and Switzerland.

"One of the things growing up in Lagos imparts in you is grit," he says. "Lagos is a place that demands grit. Growing up there gave me an unconventional way of always looking at problems."

Yes. The one we have is not ours.
Note: what we call spirit only means, "breath" or "air", which is what God gave us to make a living soul, without which we are just dust. It's as simple as that.

alBHAGDADI:
We all loved it when facebook hit the internet as it made it possible for us to connect with old friends and keep up with a social life. But these days, facebook is beginning to appear different from what it use to be. I’m not talking about the improved features but how it is becoming a place for decent minds to stay away from, especially Christians. This was brought to my awareness by a brother I met few days ago. He raised some points that makes it seem like the website is now designed to make Christians sin or backslide. Below are some of the things he pointed out which you are most likely to see on Facebook. With such around, he says Christians need to visit the site with caution or boycott it if they don’t want to backslide.

1. Violence

A day doesn’t go by without coming across a video showing 2 females fighting. The problem is that the more you watch such videos, the more you lose your humanity. If care is not taken, when you see people fighting, you might pull out your phone to film 2 them just cos you want to also make a trendy video instead of separating the fight like the peace maker you ought to be.

2. Graphic images

The problem about this is that it desensitizes and reduces you to a barbarian who doesn’t get irked by the sight of blood. The images are usually those of accidents, murders, fights etc. Pictures are even better. What about videos of beheading and jungle justice?

3. Naked pictures

Churches, religious organizations and their members are all on Facebook where they do their business and connect with each other. But with the level of naked pictures circulating on Facebook, such religious people will either boycott the site or get lured into sin. I think there should be a restriction that ensures you don’t see certain things depending on your preference. Do you think naked pictures are no issue? Check the next one.

4. Pornography

This is now rampant on Facebook. Mind you, it is not only adults we have on Facebook these days; teenagers and even kids are frequently accessing the site. A 12 year old kid who really shouldn’t know much about sex is now exposed to videos showing how a penis penetrates a vagina in different styles. The next thing is for such a boy or girl to try it out at that young age. We are now being bombarded with live porn videos and the sad part is that nobody is saying anything about it.

After he finished giving his points, I realized all he said are actually all I see on facebook these days.

If you check Gen. 2:7, you'll see that a living soul is made up of the dust and the breath of God(spirit).
As you can see, we do not have our OWN spirit or soul, but rather we basically have the spirit of God in us keeping us alive, and with that spirit in us, we ARE LIVING SOULS.

Paul didn't have to give it the luxury of mention. The purpose of that chapter is to address the misuse of the gift of tongues by the Church in Corinth. Throughout the chapter, he advocated using that particular gift for the edification of the Church. In essence, he's ringing it into their ears that it's not for self-edification.
Until you see tongues for what it is (a human language) as it were in Acts 2, you won't realise that using tongues in private is useless.

1 cor 14:2-4

2  For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. note

 3  But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

 4  He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

1tim 6:5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.


gain # godliness

godliness with contentment is great gain.1 tim 6:6

great gain = godliness + contentment

Not soul in the body, but a living body is a living soul.
Spirit prays? No, but he does help us know what to say and ask for in prayer. That's what he does.

I can boldly say that Paul forbade using God's gift for self edification. It can't make it clearer than that without sounding rash.

otr1:
Right there after 1 Cor. 14:4, you can read Paul throwing his weight behind Church edification.
Paul statement in 1 Cor. 14:4a is at best, a satire. I don't see a way in hell he is endorsing self-edification in that verse. Paul saw speaking in a gathering in a tongue unknown to the audience as self-edification(a boast) if not interpreted. He is not teaching the use of tongue in private if you study that chapter very well. Of what use is it, if I have the gift to speak 50 different languages and all I could use it for is speak to myself in my room?
Even Paul who could speak more tongues than them all would rather speak five words that can be understood, so others might benefit, than 10000 words in a language unknown to that audience.
The whole purpose of that chapter 14 is: ensure you use a language that can be understood by your audience, and if not, get an interpreter to edify the body of Christ and not to show off your ability to speak other tongues (self edification).
