THE DECEPTION IS THAT THE DEAD DON'T DIE!
GIVING UP THE GHOST? THE TRUTH WILL SURPRISE YOU.
When many brush past the scriptures that deal with the words "spirit" and "ghost" being used, it is naturally assumed that the context is the same. Look at a few examples of "giving up the ghost".
Genesis 25:8,17 ...'Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people ... And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.'
Genesis 35:29 ...'And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.'
You will see from all of those examples that giving up the ghost simply means "breathing the last breath". The Hebrew word used is H1478 - gava, which means "to expire, to breath the last breath, to die".
Luke 23:46 ...'And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.'
But what about that scripture? It seems to say that Jesus dies and commends His spirit at the same time. Is Jesus denoting two different things? Remember, when Job said that "the spirit of God is in my nostrils",( Job 27:3;4;8 NKJV) Job meant that the breath of God was in him. The Hebrew word Job used was ruwach, which means breath of life or wind.
The word "spirit" Jesus used above in Luke 23 is pneuma. Now, pneuma is also a word that can represent the Holy Spirit as well. However, you have to read this verse in context to see what Jesus is saying. Pneuma can also mean breath of life, other spirits such as demons, or the Holy Spirit. It depends on the context of the specific scripture used. So, when Jesus said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit:", was Jesus saying that He was going instantly to Heaven when He died? Not a chance. We know that Jesus did not go to Heaven right after dying, but actually rested in the grave for three days and three nights.
John 20:17 ...'Jesus said to her, Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'
When you read the context, as well as the other scriptures, you will see that Jesus was actually saying, "Father, into thy hands I give my last breath."
Matthew 27:50 ...'Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.'
That verse sounds very similar to Luke 23:46, doesn't it. Just like the examples in Genesis and in Luke, it says "yielded up the ghost". So surely ghost here is gava like the others, right? No it's not. Ghost in this context is the same word for spirit from Luke, the word pneuma. Connecting the context between Luke 23 and Matthew 27, we see that they are saying the same exact thing: Jesus was telling God that He was about to breath His last breath. Spirit and ghost in these scriptures are interchangeable.
* Is There a Spirit Inside of us?
We've already discussed what it means when someone "gives up the spirit" or has the spirit inside of them in order to live. It simply means the breath of life from God. A living soul is a man (dust of the earth) who has received God's breath (spirit) to become alive. Without God's breath of life, our bodies would just be lifeless bodies of dust. However, there IS a Spirit who joins with the righteous.
2 Corinthians 5:5 ...'Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.'
1 Corinthians 15:45 ...'And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.'
1 Corinthians 3:16 ...'Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
The word spirit here is not the breath of life, but is G4151 - pneuma, the word we mentioned before. In all of the contexts just above, pneuma represents the Holy Spirit here. When was the Spirit of God given to us?
John 16:7-13 ...'Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.'
When Jesus died on the cross, resurrected, and went up to Heaven - He sent us His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, sent by God, convicts the world of sin and brings men to righteousness. The Holy Spirit abides with those who walk with God. If you are truly guided by the Spirit, you are naturally driven to hate all manners of sin. The carnal flesh is always warring against and is contrary to the Spirit of God, so the two cannot and will not dwell together.
The spirit you are born with is the breath of life, and that is why you are able to live. The Holy Spirit of God will change your heart completely, transforming you into a new being - a being which God will bless with a body which will never be destroyed!
1 Thessalonians 5:23 ...'And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.'
After doing this deep study, do you now see what Paul is saying here? He isn't praying for a spirit "being" and a soul "being" inside of you to be preserved blameless, and he surely isn't praying for the Spirit of God to remain blameless - The Spirit of God will ALWAYS be blameless! Paul is simply praying for your entire life (spirit + body = soul) to be preserved blameless unto the day of the coming of the Lord Jesus. I personally hope and pray that this truth about the spirit, soul, and body has blessed you immensely.
The devil does NOT want you to grasp this wonderful truth. The Papal Church is the very seat of Satan's power on earth - the real Antichrist. Thus, the devil will use this major doctrine from his pet church system to confuse the masses. He wants you to accept the Immortal Soul fable and be tricked into accepting the mark of the beast. But I pray with all diligence that the Spirit of Truth leads you into complete righteousness. Glory be to Jesus' name forever for His piercing truth in His Holy Word!
