It seems to me that for you man is that which is only the thing you say “was Created, with flesh, bones, tissue, organs, blood, mind, ears, eyes, nose, mouth,....”, and seems to be not including the spirit.

In brief;
Man IS formed dust of the earth.
Man with Gods Breath, IS formed dust of the earth WITH Life (from God) in the formed thing called man.
Man was created with a BRAIN, the Brain, (if you have ever seen one (which I have), or perhaps seen a picture of a Brain, it looks like grey sausage stuffed in a casing and folded back and forth on top of itself self to a heaped pile with a curve at the top of the pile. (Not that impressive LOOKING).
However the BRAIN, is connected to multiple other parts of the body, (blood, nerves, etc.),
That allows a man to Process into thoughts, what the eyes see, the ears hear, the nose smells, the skin touches/feels, the tongue tastes....which it is the MIND "processing".
The life OF the Body (is Blood.)
The life IN the Body is Gods Breath. (Soul)
The BODY, (it's life), MUST DIE.
God requires it. (Gen 9;5)
The Life in Gods Breath shall NEVER Die.
God can not Die.
Souls can continue living with Gods breath.
(Which is what a SAVED souls does...continues living with Gods breath).
Gods breath can Leave a soul, (return to God), and a Soul be destroyed.
So you know, every man has a BRAIN, and the MIND is the Brains receiving and processing of information.
The HEART can also receive information.
The information the heart receives (while the Mind is aware of the Hearts information)...
Is not always the same information as the Mind.
Meaning...the Hearts "information", "thoughts" IS the mans Absolute "NATURAL TRUTH." <---- THAT IS;
the natural spirit of man
The mind, (carnal mind), is the mans "NATURAL thoughts"...THAT CAN:
Be true, false, guessing, opinions, deceiving, embellished, half-truths, outright lies, etc.
And why, sometimes it IS in Agreement with the natural spirits absolute truth, and sometimes not.
For example...TONG...may be your True given name...(your spirit in your heart knows if that IS a true statement).
Or perhaps, TONG...is a name your MIND devised for the purpose of having a "NAME" for this forum, by which others could call you.
(While, YOU are concealing your true given name). That "option" is given you as a condition to participate on this forum. Meaning the condition for participation is you must have "A" name....but your option is, you do NOT have to reveal/use your TRUE name.
Your MIND knows the difference...Knows what is TRUE in your spirit in your heart...and Knows what it (the Minds thought) is revealing may NOT be True.
When a man Agrees to Accept Gods gift of FAITH...the man does so by HEARING Gods WORD.
Some men are receiving that GIFT of FAITH....to their natural MINDS, (hearing but not hearing, hearing but not believing)
Some men are receiving that Gift of FAITH....to their natural spirit, (hearing and believing absolute truth of Gods word).
Faith either Increases in a mans spirit.
Or Faith to a mans mind is dissected, found unfathomable, unbelievable, rejected.
Nothing has YET occurred concering Receiving Salvation.
However something IS occurring....
One is receiving Faith to his natural spirit...
One is in danger of ... FALLING FROM FAITH.
WITH TRUE FAITH in the man....
The man is also in danger of...NOT in a position (according to Gods terms/way),
TO: receive His Gift of Salvation.
Because "WITHOUT" TRUE (in a mans spirit) FAITH....that man IS NOT PREPARED;
TO:
Confess TRUE Belief or Receive Gods Gift OF Salvation.
So...turning to a man WHO Does have in his "natural spirit"...true Faith.
And that man "FROM his natural spirits TRUE FAITH"...."DOES" Confess His TRUE BELIEF....
"THEN WHAT" ?
WHAT EXACTLY has that man DONE?
That man has NOTIFIED GOD...(according to Gods Terms/WAY)...that that man IS AGREEING to Accept Gods OFFERING of SALVATION of his soul.....AND QUICKENEING of his spirit.
THAT man is AGREEING, FOR GOD to "MAKE" that man's "soul saved" and "spirit quickened". (Ie spirit born again)
The ORDER is a process.
God offers forever life to a man.
When the man FOLLOWS the ORDER and Way God provides for MAN to receive Gods OFFERING ... and "IF" the man FOLLOWS the ORDER and WAY....and "IF" the man CONSENTS....
GOD DOES ALL "HIS" works, required to GIVE everything to the man, GOD offered, and Promises (a consenting men) will receive from God.
God forgives, the man for NOT having believed. (Which we are naturally born, NOT believing in God).
God restores a mans soul. If you recall, with Adam, God called his formed body and made living soul....VERY GOOD. (Gen 1:31)
Well, then it wasn't "very good".
Restoration of our soul, (Pss 23:3) is GOD SAVING IT, by once again MAKING our soul, very good...acceptable to Him...and saved UNTO Him.
THAT man is called; SAVED
And by default KEPT from separation From Him, Kept from Him taking His Life out of the soul, Kept from Him destroying the soul.
The "natural spirit of man"... natural truth in a mans Heart, born naturally from a mans seed... becomes REBORN....FROM a DIFFERENT SEED. The Different SEED, is Gods SEED. (BTW, Gods SEED has a title, called CHRIST).
When Gods SEED is given by God (Gods works), it enters a mans .... (new heart)...
Also given by God (Gods works).
That SEED, "rebirths" a mans natural spirit, into a SPIRITUAL SPIRIT, (because God IS a Spirit, thus Gods SEED is a Spiritual Seed).
THAT SEED, "births' a new truth in that man.
A SPIRITUAL TRUTH, GODS TRUTH, (Gods TRUTH is named JESUS).
The Spirit of God, Enter the mans new heart, is Gods Truth, Abodes WITH-IN that man.
And continually FEEDS that mans new spirit, GODS TRUTH.
That man is thus called: BORN AGAIN.
God Offers, Man can by his own FREEWILL hear, learn what God Offers. Or not.
Man can by his own FREEWILL follow Gods Order and Way to Accept and Agree to Gods Offering....or not.
"THE IF"....condition terms, that IS REQUIRED of a man...which IS the man CONSENTING for God TO Save the mans soul and quicken the mans spirit
Rom 10:
[
9] That
if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
[
10] For (BECAUSE) with
the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Zech 12;
[
1] The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and
formeth the
spirit of man within him.
Ezek 18:
[
31] Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and
make you a
new heart and a
new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Ezek.36
[
26] A
new heart also will
I give you, and
a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
ORDER
First offered First man and woman called: Adam (Gen 5:2)
* Tree of Life, in the Garden for Adam to FREELY eat. (Gen 1;29)
Then offered the Jews (ie House of Israel)...
Then offered all the Tribes.
Then offered all the Gentiles.
Body, soul, spirit of a man...3 different things.
Body, soul, spirit of every Natural man, is corrupt in Gods eyes.
Each thing, has an order and way to be MADE
changed, restored, renewed...Acceptable unto God, once and forever.
