"
Breathing oxygen is so far off from understanding that I can't believe it's you arguing for it."
This is where stupidity has entered the various discussions, I only mentioned oxygen as a simplistic term for what we breath.
But the stupidity of the likes of ppm now, is trying to play the man with a decoy, to avoid addressing valid points, has now gone onto defining the bloody elements of what we breath, and if man only breathed oxygen as I said, there would be serious problems.
He would have known full well of the context I was using.

Back the the bleeping Beginning, with the simplistic and clear and obvious event that took place, as per the Bible.
Gen 2:7 -
Then Yehowah God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living person.
So lets LOOK at the CLEAR and OBVIOUS here.
God has fully formed man, made man, who is not yet alive, man is breathed into the breath of life THROUGH his nostrils.
The simple fact that this was through his nostrils, smacks it right in your face that we are talking the breath, the breath of life for EXACTLY what it means, the air we breath going into the nostrils, into the airways, into the lungs and man was then deemed, a living soul.
The terms, the heart of man, the mind of man, the soul of man, the spirit of man, are interchanged in various passages, meaning one in the same and from these comes the like of your fruits, actions etc, which all come from the one singular package, the living soul, from your memory bank, the brain, the pilot you might say.
Example - If the spirit of man denies that Jesus is the son of God, then he is not of God.
What exactly does the denying here = the words from the mind, heart, spirit, soul of man.
Gen 6:3 - And Yehowah said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he alsoisflesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
This is speaking of God's spirit, not of 'a' spirit of your own.
The spirit goes back to God upon death.
As the above from the interlinear proves, this could very well be the breath, the breath of life being referred to as the spirit.
I'm not necessarily saying God's literal spirit, but basically what we breath in, keep in mind the verse in John -> that which is born of spirit is spirit.
What we breath in is what you would say is born of God = spirit.

"It is Biblically supported."
I haven't seen it presented yet, all that I have seen is the likes of assumptions and must be's, purely based on the likes of set seeds and wants, of which the Bible does not even mention.
What I just covered on Gen 2:7, is child's language and just as it clearly shows, but look at what ppm ADDED to it, of which you jumped on board with in a flash = ??????????
Ppm and others claim, you have to go back in time to understand how they would have seen it = NO WAY possible would they have seen it, as ppm laid it out.

The key theme of the Bible writers is, the hope of the resurrection on the last day, and if you die beforehand, you simply are deemed as sleeping.
In Rev you have souls that cannot be counted under the alter and when they ask God how long, they are told to wait a little longer.
You cannot tell me that this is not just the likes of symbolic, and that they are not literally there, just recorded in the Book of life, the fruits, beliefs from the living soul that they are.
Otherwise, they would certainly being having a boring time LOL.
Just like Able's blood wasn't literally crying out from the grave as the Bible says it was.
