Wouldn't every breathing thing, created by God, therefore contain spirit?
Did God not create all of the animals?

A man can study the Bible his entire life and will claim he knows everything about it. The reason a man studies the Bible his entire life is to TRY to better understand it. NO MAN KNOWS THE FULL WORKS AND WONDERS OF GOD OR HIS CREATION.
Saying "no it is a metaphor" is an opinion from personal understanding.
Use scripture. Not someone else's opinion.

Right on! Just as Johah said; "Three days AND three nights" Jonah 1:17.
Jesus died on what we call Wednesday just before sundown.
Wednesday sundown to Thursday sundown = 1 day (first night and day in the tomb)
Thursday sundown to Friday sundown = 1 day (second night and day in the tomb)
Friday sundown to Saturday sundown = 1 day (third night and day in the tomb)
Mary came to the sepulchre at daybreak Sunday.
Look at Matthew 12:40.
Jesus rose at some time between Saturday sundown and Sunday morning.
The "high day" of John 19:31 was the first day of the feast (Passover), and is considered a high holy Sabbath day.
The first day of the Feast was a Thursday (15th day of Nisan- April 3/4). The 15th day of Nisan commenced at sunset on what we would still call the 14th.
Jesus was crucified on the 14th, the "preparation day" ( John 19:31), and by law the crucified bodies should not remain on the cross on a Sabbath day. Jesus was put in the tomb before sunset on Wednesday the 14th.
The "first day of the week" ( Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1-), the day of the Resurrection, was from our Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset.
Jesus was to be the Lamb slain, and His crucifixion took place on the "preparation day" ( John 19:14) when all lambs were slaughtered for the great Passover Feast the NEXT day.
The Last Supper DID NOT take place on the day of Passover, look at Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:14, John 19:31-42.
The "third day" of Matthew 16:21 is not the third day of the great Feast, but the third day of our Lord and Savior being in the tomb.
Jesus died on what we call Wednesday just before sundown.

The "third day" of Matthew 16:21 is not the third day of the great Feast, but the third day of our Lord and Savior being in the tomb.
The Hebrew calendar used at the time of Jesus counted a full day from sunset to sunset, not midnight to midnight.
The Hebrew 24 hour period of time is broken up into two 12 hour segments. The first segment is from 6 pm until 6 am. The second segment is from 6 am until 6 pm.
The "third hour" of the day in Mark 15:25 when Christ was crucified is 9 am
The "ninth hour" when He gave up the ghost is 3 pm.
e. Acts 20:7. "first day of Sabbath in reckoning 7 Sabbaths to Pentecost". The Greek word, Sabbaton used here, doesn't necessarily need to mean the Jewish Sabbath, as this word is used elsewhere with the meaning of 'week or weeks'. Refer to Mark 16:1 & 16:2. Clearly, v1 refers to the Jewish Sabbath & v2 to the 'first of weeks' = first day of the week = Sunday. So too, in Matthew 28:1: Sabbath + Week; Mark 16:9; Jn 20:1,19; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:2: all used the Gk. Sabbaton referring to week & not Sabbath.
f. 1 Cor 16:2. Literally translated: "Upon the first day of the Sabbaton (week), each one should lay by him (i.e. on his own, in private, in quietness, without show or fanfare) & store aside..". The instruction here is that the believer, in consideration of the 'poor saints', should as part of the day of worship & rest from their labours, along with the giving of their freewill offerings to the assembly, to also put aside these special gifts for the poor. This was so there wasn't a mad rush to do a collection at the last minute & even take away from the sanctity of the day.
g. Rev 1:10. To remain consistent with other references to the first day of the week, we can't change the reference to the Lord's Day in Rev 1:10 to read "Day of the Lord". That would be forcing an unreasonable application to a simple reading of the verse. John was "in the spirit on the Lord's Day", not "in the spirit towards the Day of the Lord".
1 Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
Who is this about? "God was manifest in the flesh"
John Chapter 10:28 And I (Jesus) give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. (How can Jesus, if a mere man give eternal life?)
29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.
30 I and [my] Father are one. I and [my] Father are one, I and [my] Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
(Jesus never told them they misunderstood)
How about Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Only God can forgive sins and Jesus told some their sins were forgiven.
So is Jesus a deceiver or is he God in the flesh as 1 Timothy 3:16 states?
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us US make man in our image, after OUR our likeness:
Should we believe the Lord is speaking to the angels?
Please do a study on the Godhead and quit being concerned about made up laws that exist only in the minds of antichrist rabbis.
I and my Father are one.
John 10:30 - How do you interpret this verse?
John 1
Confusion around this topic isn't surprising as God can mean the father, the son, and holy spirit, or 'God' can mean just the father. Jesus is called Lord and the son of God and He prayed to God the father. Jesus has many other nick names too.
Do any of these verses influence your perspective?
I am Christian and I don't believe that Jesus is God.
Where does Jesus state in Scripture that He IS the Father?
I believe Jesus is Jesus (the Son) and God is God (the Father)
I agree, the Noahide laws are not in the Bible.
My question to you concerning the 7 Noahide laws was whether you were against any of them?
then they would cease to be a Jew and be a Christian.
But the Noahide laws only exists in the minds of Rabbis.
The Noahide laws are not in the Bible and yes I agree with you that I do not like the Kabbalah "Jews" who
interpret these so called non biblical laws.
Look into Kabbalah, the soul of Judaism and see what most believe who claim to be "Jews"
it matches the synagogue of satan description of Jesus in Revelation 2:9 exactly.
Again, it seems that you may be confusing "Jews" with children of the Devil.
As YOU state.... These people CLAIM CLAIM CLAIM to be Jews. They are LYING LYING LYING.
The words you quote concerning Jews are those CLAIMING, CLAIMING, CLAIMING, to be Jews.
What does Jesus say concerning those CLAIMING CLAIMING CLAIMING to be Jews? THEY ARE LYING. They are of the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN ( Revelation 2:9, 3:9). No longer Jews; and may never had been.
What is their fruit? People are judged by words and actions.
A Christian that stops believing in Jesus is no longer a Christian.
People of any descent or country origin can live in the land of Judea and be called an inhabitant of the land of Judea; a Jew.
Just as a person of any descent or country origin living in the land of New York can be called a New Yorker.
Most God fearing Jews consider Jesus to at the very least be a great prophet. They do not dismiss the writings of the NT as "the most evil and antisemitic book ever written, and Jesus the most evil of them all." Those are words that sound like they would come from the mouth of a child of Satan.
I find no issue with the 7 Noahide general laws.
The seven Noahide laws as traditionally enumerated are the following:
Not to worship idols.
Not to curse God.
To establish courts of justice.
Not to commit murder.
Not to commit adultery, bestiality, or sexual immorality.
Not to steal.
Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.
Do you have a problem with abiding by any of these laws?
I have issue with the interpretation of them by children of the synagogue of Satan that skews them.
Man screws everything up.
We DISCERN, we do not JUDGE.
Paul said: Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Google "NOAHIDE YESHU" and learn why many "Jews" are deaf to the gospel since they have committed the unpardonable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
They claim Jesus performed his miracles (they admit he did) by the power of Satan. Bible witness
Mark Chapter 3:22 And the scribes (Jewish copiers of the Bible) which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
28 Verily I (Jesus) say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. (possessed of a devil)
They teach this to this day.
King James Bible book of John 5:16 - And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
John 5:18 - Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
John 7:1 - After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
The "Jewish" noahides as above mentioned teach Jesus worshiped a brick.
Mary was a prostitute who got pregnant with a Roman soldier named Pantera.
Jesus performed magic via stealing the name of God from the synagogue.
This is why Christian countries expelled them from the land, not cause they were "antisemitic"
they did not like the blasphemy of Jesus, and neither do I.
And God RESTED on the SEVENTH DAY.
And God BLESSED the SEVENTH DAY and SANCTIFIED the SEVENTH DAY.
Many have changed the day of rest from the SEVENTH DAY to the first day.
There are TWO Biblical reasons people believe this.
1) The first day of the week is the day that Matthew 28:1, Mark and Luke 23:55, 24:2 relate that the sepulchre was opened and Jesus was not found there.
2) During the 40 days that Jesus was on earth before He rose into heaven He appeared to His disciples seven times. Five of the seven times Jesus met with them on the FIRST DAY of the week. The other two times, the day is not mentioned. Look at Mark 16:9-13, Mark 16:14-18, Luke 24:13-33, Luke 24:34, Luke 24:36-44, John 20:11-23, John 20:26-29.
None of the examples given above concerning the FIRST DAY of the week allow any authority for us to change the SEVENTH DAY to the FIRST DAY.
Jesus NEVER GAVE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS.
( Mark 2:27-28) "And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath."
If we believe in the Father and His only begotten Son, then we have Christ in us every day, not just one day per week.
This new understanding is an enhancement of the 7th day, not the abolishing of it. It was made to last FOREVER. This is a day that God BLESSED and SANCTIFIED!
Christ ALWAYS honored the Sabbath.
The Apostles kept the Sabbath AFTER CHRIST DIED; look at Acts 13:14, 27, 42, 44, Acts 16:13, etc.
Pentecost is a holy SABBATH day; i.e. a day of rest.
In Acts 17:2 and Acts 18:4, Paul is continually feeding the people Scripture on the SABBATH. Christ never abolished the Sabbath; neither did Paul. God never said anything concerning that fact, and if He wanted that day changed He would have made it abundantly clear.
Further study concerning the importance of the Seventh Day can be found throughout ALL Scripture; as well as in the Book of Enoch.
You may have misunderstood what I said.
And to answer your question; No, I do not believe Jesus the king of the Jews or Paul the writer of most of the NT to be an anti-Semite.
I said YOU had hostility toward the JEWS; not Jesus or Paul.
Are the Jews THAT BELIEVE IN GOD cursed or blinded?
Will God save His people Jacob or will He back out on all of His promises?
And I said that YOU were mistaken concerning Jesus speaking Greek and not Hebrew, the oldest language in the world. Any comment on that?
In addition, I stated that YOU were mistaken concerning the Greeks spreading the Gospel and not Jews, as Christ came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel; and it was spread from there.
And I said that you were mistaken concerning the understanding of the word Jews.
Do you really believe that all God fearing Jews are condemned to death? Again, what of the promises of God to the Jews? Not the non-believers, but the believers.
Those that CLAIM (that means that they are not Jews) to be JEWS BUT ARE NOT..
Why are they NOT Jews?
Because they are of the synagogue of Satan. That makes them NOT followers of God anymore.
The people that conspired to kill Jesus were children of the synagogue of Satan CALLING THEMSELVES JEWS.
Just because the Jewish High priest may have been of Jewish descent (he was appointed by the Roman Governor) it did not automatically make him a follower of God. He was a murderer.
Yet, how do we account for the many Scriptures from both the OT & NT, that show that even in spite of their spiritual condition, they will still figure very prominently in the last days & even at the appearing of the One Whom they pierced. Zechariah chapters 12 to 14 clearly show a coming time when Israel will not only be protected but will be restored back to their position according to election.
So, is there "another plan of salvation for unbelieving Jews?" I see that those Jews living at the time of Christ's coming, as also the remnant of the Gentiles, will have the opportunity to partake in Jesus' Millennial reign. Many I know will refuse, but for the Jews who knew the Scriptures & see the Messiah of God come in fulfilment of those Scriptures will have their eyes opened & experience that glorious light that will pierce those long deceived & clouded hearts.
What does this healing & restoration then do to the preaching of the Gospel before that time? Why do we bother now if there exists a further opportunity for the remnant on the Earth to be saved? I understand that the Gospel is preached now so people everywhere, at their death, can enter into eternity with God as their Father rather than be estranged from Him forever in Hell. The Great Tribulation will decimate the world's population, as no virus can, but those who survive that, including Israel, will still live on: some to live with Christ in His Kingdom on Earth, & others rejecting Christ, outside those walls & destined to the Lake of Fire at their death. To wipe out Israel altogether from prophecy about her, would be very difficult & dangerous for me to do.
That is what the Jews write in their commentaries about Jesus and how evil he was for condemning their religious practices.
Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 2:14 thru 16 - For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, EVEN AS THEY HAVE OF THE JEWS: WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS, and their OWN PROPHETS, and have persecuted us; and THEY PLEASE NOT GOD, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: FOR THE WRATH IS COME UPON THEM TO THE UTTERMOST.
I suppose Paul is an evil antisemite also along with Jesus
John 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release (Jesus) him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
Rome did not conspire to kill Jesus, guess who did?
Seems like some serious hostility toward our brothers the JEWS.
Did Jesus come back for the seed of Satan, or for the lost (looking to be found) Tribes of the house of Israel?
Plenty of people that call themselves Jews are not ( Revelation 2:9, 3:9). Just as many today that call themselves Christian are not.
Devout Jews believe in God OUR Father. Others are whatever they claim to be. An "unbelieving Jew" is called a Gentile; just as an unbelieving Christian is called a Gentile.
The "Jews" that crucified Jesus CLAIMED to be Jews, as the High Priest was the leader of them. But their actions spoke of them that are of the synagogue of Satan.
The Apostles were of the house of Israel (Jews); otherwise they would not have been chosen.
Were not the JEWS PURPOSELY BLINDED BY GOD until the return of Jesus? ( Acts 28:25-28)
Did God not say that He would restore His people; the JEWS? ( Romans 11:26) The Deliverer (Jesus) will turn ungodliness from Jacob (ALL 12 TRIBES)
Are we not grafted into THEIR tree? ( Romans 11:17-24)
Our brothers need our spiritual guidance, not our disdain ( Galatians 3:29).
In addition, I do not believe that Jesus the King of the JEWS came speaking Greek. He spoke it when needed.
Those that were with Jesus at the cross at the 9th hour knew the Hebrew words being spoken ( Matthew 27:46-47, Mark 15:34-36).
The inscription left by Pilate was written FIRST in Hebrew.
Hebrew is the language given by God to His chosen people.
Hebrew is the only language that is both pictorial and phonetic, as well as having it's number system based upon it.
The Hebrew letters form the words our Creator spoke when forming the world.
Jesus is the Aleph and the Tav; not the Alpha and the Omega. Jesus is every word of Scripture. That ultimately is Hebrew, and not any other language.
I agree, we are not the judge.
Are we Gentiles though?
Don't we as believers in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, form the collective "church" which makes up the "body of Christ."
Gentiles are referred to as "goy" in Hebrew, and ethnos" in Greek, both being defined as a foreign people to the people of Israel, and to the believers in God.
How do we know that we do not belong to the 10 scattered Tribes?
Many that were scattered by God migrated over the Caucasus Mountains and settled Europe, the Americas, and Canada.
In the United States, these people are called Caucasian.
It was Jews that began the conversion of the world to Christianity.
Our obligation today as Christians is the same as the believing Jews before Christ: Openly and boldly preach the word of God, and exclude no one that wants to hear. Judge not.
Jesus in bible book Revelation 2:9 - I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
So do these get saved without Jesus?
John in John 3:36 - He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Jesus in Revelation 3:9 - Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, and I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Q: Is there another plan of salvation for unbelieving Jews?
A: Acts 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (What name? Yeshua?)
1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha.
Ezra 9:1 - Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Ezra 9:2 - For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the HOLY SEED holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands:
