For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
I feel it is a waste of my time in responding further, as you have knowingly misquoted me since my quote was clear and concise. I praise God and always Thank Jesus for trials which will strengthen us. You will be in my prayers.
'Ruach' is clearly different to 'psykhe' & as you stated also comes from God giving life (breath) to the body which clothes the soul. As well, I understand man's spirit from God also functions as the means that God, by His Spirit, can communicate with man. Romans 8:16 speaks of this interaction. The spirit in us enables us to look beyond the immediate & temporal, to the One Who brought it all together, though many today stifle it preferring to understand their world & themselves, only through the soul (by reasoning & logic).
Yet you write that on death, man's spirit doesn't return to God, whether to life or eternal death, rather it remains in 'limbo'. Am I understanding you correctly? Could you provide some Bible references or expand this thought further? Why I ask this, is that Eccl 12:7 which you quoted, speaks of this returning, or else, that man's spirit has to have a destiny, whether in a body or in a location. I understand the Ecclesiastes reference suggesting that, just as God gives a new born baby a spirit, so at death of that body, the spirit is then released & returned back to God - like a loan from God to enjoy Him & His creation. We have the accounts of the destinies of the rich man & Lazarus ( Luke 16:19-31), the thief on the Cross ( Luke 23:39-43) & Stephen's cry at his execution ( Acts 7:55-60). All seem to suggest that our spirits remain alive, active & accountable whether in life in the body or cessation of earthly existence.
Praise God, Thank You Jesus.

" Proverbs 31 Commentary"
There are numerous teachings on her valuable ness as a woman, to her husband, children, friends and town. Good reading there
People are dead spiritually until they are Born Again and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. He is the one that baptizes people with the Holy Spirit. A person knows when that happens. It's necessary to repent of sin and be washed clean by the Blood of Jesus.
Invisible, but that's when the Spiritual Link to God is restored. You will know when it happens. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you to understand the Bible. Start in the Book of John and stop off in Romans.
Go back out to the red area
The punishment was for looking, laughing and blabbing to the town.
Sodomy was not written, so it only exists in your mind. Bring proof of that and your source.
Go back out to the red area where you came in, and the book Link is out there.
You'll need to go to Google to search the history.
"In Noah's day . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water." ( 1 Peter 3:20) Here the word "souls" clearly stands for people-Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives.
You will find another examples of this sense of "soul" in the text found at Matthew 10:39'
Some people think that "spirit" is just another word for "soul." However, that is not the case. The Bible makes clear that "spirit" and "soul" refer to two different things.
Bible writers used the Hebrew word ruach or the Greek word pneuma when writing about the "spirit." The Scriptures themselves indicate the meaning of those words.
For instance, Psalm 104:29 states: "If you [God] take away their spirit [ruach], they die and return to the dust."
Speaking about man's death, Ecclesiastes 12:7 states: "The dust [of his body] returns to the earth, just as it was, and the spirit returns to the true God who gave it." When the spirit, or life-force, leaves the body, the body dies and returns to where it came from-the earth. Comparably, the life-force returns to where it came from-God. ( Job 34:14, 15; Psalm 36:9)
This does not mean that the life-force actually travels to heaven. Rather, it means that for someone who dies, the time of future life rests with God. The time frame is in God's hands, so to speak. Only by God's power can the spirit, or life-force, be given back so that a person may live again.
Praise God. Thank You Jesus.
