I like your take bro Igzy ... on s/Spirit.

To me the human spirit is the awareness reading these words.

And I suppose it could be extended to : Spirit is God's awareness, in action.

My view ain't crucial either. And it may or may not be the way it is. Who knows?

One thing is for sure. The awareness writing and reading these words is our only connection to anything and everything ... including to God, Jesus, the Bible, and even to the numinous, & ineffable. In a real sense it's our live-wire connection.

That's spirit to me.

Maybe Paul meant: The last Adam became a life-giving awareness. It's a stretch perhaps. But maybe not. Jesus had to use awareness to be one with the Father. And awareness will be necessary to raise the right dead. Awareness, of the sort reading these words, may be the Spirit of God ... and is how we're made in His image.
