Man is composed to three parts, body,
soul and spirit Il. Thess. 5:23,
The body is the physical part of
man which returns to dust; the spirit
is the breath of life which God breath
ed into mans nostrils (Gen. 2:7)
animates not only man but all created
animals as the following will prove:
And all flesh died that moved upon
the earth, both of fowl and of cattle
and of beast and every man, all in
whose nostrils was the breath of life
of all that was in the dry land died. "
Gen. 7.21, %. This refers to the de-
struction of the world by the flood.
