If Not looking up any Scriptures, then we can't learn what the Bible really teaches.
I find we don't want to confuse a Spirit person (God and angels ) with being a 'spiritual person'.
We are material/ physical creation, and like Adam had we have life's spirit.
A pep rally is designed to create lively school spirit.
A high-spirited horse is a lively horse.
So, while Adam was alive he had life's spirit, and death Adam ceased to exist.
One's spirit (spirit of life) 'it' returns to God according to Ecclesiastes 12:7
'It' returns to God in the same way a foreclosed house is returned to the owner.
The house does Not move or go anywhere, but any future prospect for the house now lies in the owner's hands.
Thus, any future life for the dead now lies in the Resurrection Hope - Acts of the Apostles 24:15.
The bible [and any other book] does not speak for itself. So, you'd have to break it down because every single christian has their own version. The only way I know yours and not Paul and Mathew is to explain it to where it's understood by those who don't share your opinion.
What is a spirit that's a person?
A pep rally is not a spirit rally but a rally-actual people-who gain enough excitement and pride/spirit. Some say they have the spirit or passion when they write or do art. Some say they have spirit when they are with people who share their views in a positive environment.
So, is god a "lively"?
