Don't you think you need to be specific and clarify what you mean when you use the word "spirit".

Are you referring to breath or a ghost?

My guess is you think Peter has a ghost of himself that leaves his body.:)

Same as your post of 2 Corinthians 5 - to be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord.

you live in a body like a house, a, "tabernacle", if you will, and you enter one keep it for a time and then put it aside.
another way to put it would be you are the tree imagining you are the leaf, for a season, when the leaf falls, you will remember, you were the tree all the time.
just alienated, in your mind.
perspective is the master key in this game

he is speaking of his death.... putting off his tabernacle means dying in the flesh.
