Nuggets from Occult Invasion

Man is a spirit living in a body through which he participates in physical events. The spirit in man distinguishes him from animals and makes it possible for him to know God. Neither man’s body nor soul is in God’s image, for God has neither. Man’s spirit is in the image of God. Separation of man’s spirit from God’s Spirit brings spiritual death to man. God declares, “Your iniquities have separated between you and your God” (Isaiah:59:2But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
See All...); and you are “dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians:2:1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
See All...; etc.).

Separation of the spirit from the body brings death to the body: “As the body without the spirit is dead” (James:2:26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
See All...). At death the body goes into the grave and “the spirit shall return unto God who gave it” (Ecclesiastes:12:7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
See All...). Taking the Bible as a whole, this can only mean that man’s spirit is at God’s disposal to be sent either to heaven or to hell. The spirit of a dead person would not be floating about, haunting or appearing to those on earth, as the world of the occult would have us believe. “Ghosts” can only be masquerading demons.
