My first question still stands regardless. Let me perhaps rephrase it:

Do you believe the Old Testament faithful had a human spirit? If so, can you clearly show this from OT text?

I'm still thinking about the 1st question. But I have a question regarding something you said - What do you mean by a spirit "that comes by works"?
