SPIRIT IS SPIRIT AND THATS WHAT IT SAYS AND THATS WHAT IT MEANS. SPIRIT MEANS SPIRIT,LOOK IT UP. THE THING IS, SPIRIT NEVER DIES. IT TELL US MAN HAS A SPIIRIT AND ANIMALS AS WELL. IN THE BIBLE SPIRIT MEANS SPIRIT. THEN THEY LIVE ON ITS NO HARD THING FOR GOD TO DO THAT. IF THE SPIRIT OF THE ANIMAL GOES DOWN TO THE EARTH, IT MAY BE GOD HAS A DIFFERANT PLACE FOR THEM UNTILL THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.
