    First up, spiritual and spirit are not the same thing.

    Secondly, your post does zero to answer the Key point that I made in my post to you, as in he says zero about his spirit.

    But never the less, thanks for the reply.
    -------
    "soul and body"

    Gen 2:7 - And Yehowah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

    Body formed, gets the breath of life (air you breath) and Becomes a living soul.
    So that suggest, before the man was living but formed, he was deemed as a soul and then became a living one.
    Man did not receive a soul, he is one.

    Spirit, is also referred to as the breath of life, the air you breath, which goes back to God upon death, and not some conscious spirit going back to God.
    The very reason that none of the Bible writers say, that when you die before Jesus returns, that something of you goes to be with God.
    Paul would have comforted people with this message, if it was so, but he does NOT.

    Lets look at another aspect or example of spirit, which is NOT speaking of another identity in you as your spirit.
    1 John 4:2 - By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

    And how are these people confessing = by their word = their words are deemed as the spirit of them, figure of speech you might say.
    Likewise for the God and Father, when Jesus spoke the Fathers words, he said they are Spirit John 6:63.
    -----------
    "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

    You need to start reading this passage before you leap in here = no cherry picking.
    All this verse is really saying is, to put your whole self into the matter, so to speak.
    The spirit and soul context (another), is simply what is derived, comes from your brains storage bank, which is all part of the you, the living soul.

    Ex - Matt 22:37 - Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love Yehowah your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

    Are you going to tell us, that the heart is another identity in us, it thinks etc????????
    Once again, it's figure of speech, put your whole self, being, in there.
    -------------
    Your born again passage - born of water is your mother and spirit is of God, likewise being born again via his word, is also deemed as being born again by the Spirit of him John 6:63, 1 Peter 1:23.

    BUT, the only spirit context in your quotes there, are in reference to the God and Fathers Spirit, the Holy Spirit which he is.
    ------------
    "For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him?"

    Notice the word "thoughts" there, where are they = in the living souls storage bank, the brain.
    And what are those thoughts coming from or compiled of = words in your storage bank, referred to in the Bible as the spirit of you.
    Hence to walk and live in the spirit of Jesus, is to walk and live in his words and ways = spirit of Jesus dwelling in you.

    Jesus in John 14:10 credits the words coming out of him, as the Father dwelling in him, doing those works and the ONLY works Jesus refers to there, are the words being expressed from him, which he was raised in, given Deu 18:18
    Jesus deemed this as seeing (perceiving - Inter) the Father.
    These words are Spirit, which Jesus was given without measure, for the purpose of expressing out the words of the God and Fathers, John 3:34, Luke 4:18.
    The very reason Jesus is referred to as the Express Image of the God and Fathers Person - Word, The Word John 1:1. Heb 1:3.

    Likes of the OT -> The Spirit said to me and the word said to me = Yehowah said to me, Spirit and word being interchanged, deemed as one in the same.
