Hello @CoreIssue,
With respect, it is the body which has the faculty of sight, of hearing, and speech. The spirit, is 'the breath of life', it has no body form or function. It goes back to God who gave it. The believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, when dead, is reckoned by God as being 'asleep in Christ'. There is no consciousness in death: and no life apart from the power of the resurrection. The resurrection is yet to come, at a time of God's choosing.
Thank you.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
So since God and angels are spirits they cannot see, hear or speak?
