In 2 Cor 7:1 it says the flesh and spirit can become filthy spiritually.But if the spirit is lifeforce.How can it become filthy spiritually?
Also in 1 Cor 5:5 it says the spirit can be saved.But if the spirit is just lifeforce.How can it be saved?
This Jehovah's Witnesses website.Says it is the other way around.It says the spirit is lifeforce.And what I posted is wrong.What do you think?Agree?Or disagree?:

THE “SPIRIT” IDENTIFIED
The soul and the spirit are not the same. The body needs the spirit in much the same way as a radio needs electricity—in order to function. To illustrate this further, think of a portable radio. When you put batteries in a portable radio and turn it on, the electricity stored in the batteries brings the radio to life, so to speak. Without batteries, however, the radio is dead. So is another kind of radio when it is unplugged from an electric outlet. Similarly, the spirit is the force that brings our body to life. Also, like electricity, the spirit has no feeling and cannot think. It is an impersonal force. But without that spirit, or life-force, our bodies “die and return to the dust” as the psalmist stated.
By the way.The bible I got my bible passages from was the king james version.
