Almighty God has such an incredible desire to live in us and commune with us, the translators of the King James Bible used these strong words of their time to draw out the point of the ernestness on God's part to be our help, our strength, our healer, our Savior, our all sufficient God.

If the scriptures are correct! Desolation is most certainly implied! Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Do human have immortal spirits?

The Bible says nothing about the human spirit being immortal. In every instance of reference to the human spirit, it says that it is something IN us. "...there is a spirit IN man..." (Job 32:8). "...the spirit WITHIN me constraineth me." (Job 32:18) "...renew a right spirit WITHIN ME." (Ps.51:10) "...when my spirit was overwhelmed WITHIN me..." (Ps.142:3). "...the Lord, which... formeth the spirit of man WITHIN him..." (Zech.12:1). "...what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is IN HIM..." (I Cor.2:11). "...the spirit that DWELLETH IN US lusteth to envy..." (James 4:5). All the Bible says about it is that it is the human intellect... the "mind." "...be renewed in the spirit of your MIND..." (Eph.4:23). But, the Bible does say that at death... the spirit: "...shall return unto God who gave it." (Eccle.12:7) The Bible says that we are unconscious at death (Eccle.9:5-10)... indicating that the spirit works in conjunction with the human brain. So, if the spirit returns to God at death... it's apparent that it is preserved with Him in some way that He returns to whatever body we resurrect in for Judgment Day. It is also evident that our spirit is what God saves in the Judgment. "...deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that THE SPIRIT MAY BE SAVED in the Day of the Lord Jesus." (I Cor.5:5) We don't know for sure. So far, no observation has been made of any spirit and there is no evidence for them either. Like all spiritual or religious ideas, it comes down to faith; if you believe we have spirits, then we do for you. If not then we don't.

What does your body is like a temple of the holy spirit mean?

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (King James Version)19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.1 Corinthians 3:16 (King James Version)16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? John 14:17 (King James Version)17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Acts 1:4 (King James Version)4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. These verses indicate a number of things about the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is the physical body of the Christian believer, in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, as was promised by Jesus. This is also referred to in the verse directly above as the 'promise of the Father.' The temple is a reference to the form or structure in which the Spirit dwells. The consequence of this is that the believer has an awesome responsibility to live up to the high calling as well as not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God.Every person on earth is, in a sense, a temple, since all are made in God's image. Not every person is a temple of the Holy Spirit, since not everyone is a Christian believer.
