Recently (April 2004) Harv thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if he had his spirit-in-the-Bible article posted to his web site?” And after a bit format work, here it is. Of note: Harv was again able to appreciate his verb-descriptor-noun version of spirit in the Bible – Table R.2.
For the future, Harv’s web site hosts have afforded the opportunity for an even more frequent review. “Ah,” the advantages of ‘publication’. “Read Harv, read! See ‘Spot’ jump…[another ‘senior’ moment].”

>Abstract
Personal responsibility for one's spiritual life can be based on re-creation of the self within the context of church. One church catechism defines God as a Spirit. The bible provides near 700 chapter and verse references for creative study of spirit. Categorized, the near 700 references provide 12 spirit principles that can replace the perhaps lackluster ten commandments, thus the names Spirit Commands and Replacement Theology come into being for the purpose of divine-self re-creation.
>General background
Through a half-century of life, the author has been spirited (note 2), and probably will remain so. His persistent search for the re-creation (note 2) of one's self - a personal function that brings one from their inevitable spiritual lowlands - has caused him to create the Spirit Commands (note 2) and his Replacement Theology.
Dis-creation of self can go unrecognized, masked by our ignorance of other reality, or masked by the culture's definition of recreation. As the years and decades of adult life proceed, the spiritual lowlands of personal dis-creation can come with surprise if we are uneducated about the thing called self and its spiritual life, sometimes called the soul - that special imprint of humanity.
When affirming one's self as stuck in the lowlands or wilderness, not until one sees some progress in one's condition or situation, does the re-create life-function appear as a route or way traveled. It's sort of like indiscernibly driving up a winding road, to eventually crest the highland ahead. All along the way, one drives up, with the lowlands within one's side sight. As one nears the crest, a stop can be made, looking back from whence one came. The way was winding (note 3) and windy.
One of those re-creation turns can be seen as researching or re-searching the root word spirit as used in the Bible. As you re-search the following, remember that it presents only one of the many twists and turns on the way out of spiritual lowness - a natural human malady.
>Specific background
Most recently (1994) the author has become a member of The Village Presbyterian Church, after a dozen year absence from active church membership. Prior, he was educated Catholic at the elementary, high school, and college level - the latter by the Jesuits. In life, most of the theological models for life had failed him - God's love, marriage, the crucifixion of dying early, church and community service, tithe, church office, worship service...
With involvement in The Village Church ministries, he was again attracted to church membership - joy, love, and freedom were at work (note 4). However - attempts at worship service instantly failed.
Then the Village Church Presbyterian catechism led him to search out the meaning of its first statement - "God is a Spirit...." (note 5). Previous Village Church regular educational classes had piqued his interest, and had armed him with some tools and perspective.
The Presbyterian Survey magazine (note 6) shared more perspective on "Why Presbyterians argue so much." Thus the author wrote about his research into the spirit. One minister wanted to respond to the author's written thoughts but volunteered that he didn't know how. Another minister responded to the author's question of, "Can I be an adult of God," with, "No, you can only be an adult child of God." Those old and once-before discarded corporate church models were again getting in the way of what the author considered a personal responsibility for his spiritual growth. To that end, many church members were encouraging and one recommendation was particularly and specifically encouraging (note 7). The credibility of his Spirit Commandments and his Replacement Theology were validated. The process of defined argument could now continue.
>Method
Sanction was thusly established for what the author saw as "the study of religious doctrine and the matter of divinity" on a personal basis. He was interested in defining "the divine power, quality, supreme virtue, and excellence" which drove his life. He was determined to push his position into writing, test its recognition, and sharpen its potential - while he actualized his existence, relatedness, and growth needs (note 8) along the way. First, definitions were in order.
THEOLOGY: noun: 1 the study of God and the relations between God and the universe; studies of religious doctrines and matters of divinity. 2a specific form or system of this study, as expounded by a particular religion or denomination. Systematic theology -- a constructive method of theology that aims at a complete, philosophic, and systematic statement of the entire sum of theological knowledge.
DIVINITY: noun: 1 the quality or condition of being divine, 2a divine being; a god; deity, 3a divine power or quality; supreme virtue or excellence, 4 the study of religion; theology.
Individuals, at various times, can be seen as either spirited or dispirited - their courage and other's encouragement being key for spiritual growth. He sought and thus found that courage and encouragement in the community of his church. The Bible appeared to be the common ground for building a Replacement Theology, and for the development of a set of Spirit Commandments.
dispirit: verb: 1 to lower the spirits of; to deprive of courage; to discourage; to dishearten; to deject; to cast down.
divine: noun: 1 a man skilled in divinity; a theologian, 2a clergyman. verb: 1 to prophesy; to foretell; to presage, 2 to surmise; to know by intuition, 3 to guess or conjecture. synonym: foretell, guess, presage, conjecture, predict, prognosticate, augur.
DIVINELY - adv.1. in a divine or godlike manner; in a manner resembling deity, 2. by the agency or influence of God; as, a prophet divinely inspired, 3. excellently; in the supreme degree.
DEITY - n.1. the state of being a god; divine nature; godhood....
Entrance and movement through the Bible used a concordance. The words spirit, spirits, spiritual, and spiritually provided over 700 occurrences for paraphrasing. The following tables list the references and each paraphrase for the reader’s validation. Many verses contained several occurrences, thus the number of verses are less than 700 as indicated by the totals in the tables below.

Original spirit categories, frequency, and source
SPIRIT PRINCIPLES
In summary, the original research in 1994 provided twelve statements about the human spirit.
Table R.1 – Original spirit categories, frequency, and source.
Humans know the joys of traveling and movement. 25 R.4
The essence of human life is spirit. 53 R.5
The spirit resides in all levels of human condition. 61 R.6
The spirit of God is meant to be within each individual. 63 R.7
The human spirit grows from past and present generations. 35 R.8
The spirit is meant to represent individualism -- choice. 42 R.9
Mend a broken spirit first, then the individual can listen. 102 R.10
From an internalized spirit comes favorable attributes. 85 R.11
Another's spirit may not look after your spirit. 56 R.12
Spirited individuals have wholistic vision for their future. 45 R.13
Spirited people are open, work hard, talk, and write. 42 R.14
Spirited individuals are restless. 30 R.15
Total biblical references in support of category statements 639
Source - Table R.3.
The above order presents the sequence of how a new category came to be when the next paraphrase didn't seem to fit the previous categories.
Table R.3 represents the initial paraphrases, arranged as they were taken from the concordance, beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation. Roughly speaking, Table R.3 represents a chronological view of wisdom about the spirit. Yet, a more functional view of Table R.3 was wanted.
Taking each paraphrase, beginning with Gen. 1.2, categories were created and the references were grouped accordingly. Table R.4 began with Gen. 1.2 and was later titled “Humans know the joys of traveling and movement”, then eventually with the verb-descriptor-noun phrase of “Experience adventure joy”. The next paraphrase, Gen. 6.3, did not fit with Gen. 1.2, thus a new Table R.5 was begun, later titled “The essence of human life is spirit”, and then “Recognize life essence”. The analysis continued. Other references were added from expanded concordances shown in the “Source:” of Table R.3.
END Illustration Eight
Gen. 41.8 began Table R.6.
Gen. 41.38 began Table R.7.
Gen. 45.27 began Table R.8.
Gen. 49.6 began Table R.9.
Ex 6.9 began Table R.10.
Ex 31.3 joined Table R.7 and began Table R.11.
Ex 35.21 joined the Table R.4 grouping.
Ex 35.31 joined Tables R.7 and R.11.
Judg 9.23 began Table R.12.
Num 11.25 began Table R.13.
Num 24.2 began Table R.14.
1Sa 16.14 began Table R.15.
All the other occurrences joined the twelve previously established tables. Thus the grouped references for the twelve spirit commandments were created. Some references supported two or more categories. For example, Acts 19.6 appears in both Tables R.13 and R.14. The paraphrase, “their spirit spoke in tongues and prophesied” fits with both “Spirited individuals have wholistic vision for their future”, and “Spirited people are open, work hard, talk, and write”.
The sentence representing each category evolved to encompass more references, yet maintained its distinctiveness - each with a separate message for living life. Twelve spirit principles resulted. In the author's mind, these principles had the potential of replacing the Ten Commandment religious model. A set of Spirit Commandments in the form of principles made sense for living a generic personally truthful religious life.

>Uses
The paraphrase and categorization are highly personalized, reflecting how one individual sees their world and how one takes various concepts to enhance their way in life. Interested parties may want to retrace this exercise to provide a bible-referenced spirit-of-God focus for their lives.
>Next
Other uses for the reader. Order or prioritize the commandments for your use. Check the list against another concordance. See the completeness of a particular commentary on the spirit by seeing how many additional spirit-references exist. For example, Table R.16 shows a book on the spirit referencing only 20% of the Bible wisdom of human spirit. Read the references in any order, changing the paraphrase to your own written word. Review of your paraphrases can be seen as prayer. Write a commentary book about the categories and their composition, specifically aimed at functionality in today’s world. Come up with a new set of spirit commandments to assist in rising from your spirit low, and traveling the winding path to your next ridge or wave crest of life. Integrate the spirit with scientific psychology. Use the spirit commandments and scientific statistical significance to test self-help pop-psychology literature. Compare the essence of the spirit commandments with possible dis-spiriting policies of many organizations and individuals.

Notes
Note 1 – (a) 14 January 1995 to Craig Sumey, Interim Minister of Evangelism, The Village Church - Presbyterian (USA), Prairie Village KS; (b) 07 February 1995 to Bob and Sue Mackenzie, Shepherd Deacons, The Village Church Mission Road at 67th Street Prairie Village KS 66208; (c) 16 February 1995 review with Bob Moss, Minister of Adult Education; (d) 26 April 1995 and 21 May 1995 submissions to Lindsey Pherigo, retired Professor, St.Paul School of Theology.
Note 2 – SPIRITED a.1. having a (specified) character, mood, or disposition...., 2. full of spirit; lively; vigorous; energetic; animated. RE-CREATION - v.t. to create or form anew; to remake. COMMANDMENT - n. 1...an order or injunction given by authority; a charge; a precept. PRECEPT - n. 1...direction meant as a rule of action or conduct...(J.L.McKechnie,ed. 1983 Webster's new universal unabridged dictionary. New York: Dorset & Baber and Simon & Schuster.)
Note that the authority is best functional rather than formal, and action being best from free choice.
Note 3 – WIND - v.t. 10.to change or vary at will; to bend or turn to one's pleasure; to exercise complete control. See SPIRITED note 2.
This control reflects one's individual and personal choice - the kind of choice so necessary to fulfill the word of God (the wholly spirit within the human).
Note 4 – Although not apparent in the membership orientation process or worship service, the mission statement of The Village Church as adopted by the Session of 12 July 1993 is - "to reflect the redeeming love of Jesus in such a winsome and wholesome way that people are drawn...; to open our doors to all people for worship...fellowship and nurture; to give as much to others as to ourselves...." The author rejoined the church for the spirit of this mission, not for worship service or the quality of weekly sermons. Membership without tithe was allowed.

Note 6 – J.Ayers (Aug 1994) Why do Presbyterians argue so much? In Presbyterian Survey, v.84,n.6,p.13+. Louisville KY: Presbyterian Church USA.
"You can't have a good fight if there isn't a substantial measure of truth on both sides."(6 14).
Apparently, within the Presbyterian Church, there's room for much lay participation, not only in practicing and applying one's faith, but in re-creating or re-discovering truth in unique and personal ways. Thusly faith can move individuals and others to action.
The Presbyterian Survey provides guidelines for the exploration of religious faith leading to continued spiritual action and growth - stated in terms of what we should avoid.
"Any of the four would be a mistake. (1) We could increase the authority of the church's hierarchy. (2) We could focus on a specific written document that codifies what it means to be Presbyterian. (3) We could leave. There are more than 3000 denominations in the United States, and almost all of them have been formed by church groups splintering away from another. (4) We could keep quite."(6 15-6).
Thusly, through the author's membership, he chooses (A) to speak and write, (B) to explore the available Presbyterian tools for learning, and (C) to emphasize functional authority in dealing with individual lives and the life of the church.
“Traditionally, we Presbyterians have had confidence...that the voice of the Holy Spirit will be discerned....That means we need the courage to continue arguing even when feelings run quite high."(6 16).
As a result of this coming-closer to the knowledge of God, Harv’s definition of faith has grown away from a state of unquestioning BELIEF (dictionary from note 2 definition 5), and rather grows toward a more complete trust and confidence when structuring the Word of God for his life.
Note 7 – L.Pherigo (Spring 1995) Theology on the move - a history of theological changes. Wednesday Evening Supper Series by Adult Ministry. Prairie Village KS: The Village Church. "This study will describe the theological systems that developed within the history of the Christian Church. We will look at the continuing presence of these systems in our own time and affirm the need for these continual changes as we face the future." Retired professor, St.Paul School of Theology, book in progress - An Introduction to Process Theology.
Note 8 – Universal basic human needs as determined by scientific psychology.
