But God is a Spirit, not just a "mind":
What is 'just a mind' that it is not a spirit? Both are immaterial.
Admittedly, I do not understand the spiritual world. The Bible states that spirits are immortal and can move as the wind. That's about it.

But there are spiritual "bodies", according to the scriptures.

God is a spirit. Satan is also a spirit. They both have immaterial "spiritual bodies."

But I don't reason from their "equality" in body type that they both have equal minds.

Both can make individual freedom of choice decisions.

But God cannot lie, while Satan can.

Their mindsets seem very different.

What affects our human minds is typically physical stimulations. Perhaps there are also non-physical stimulus, but I don't know how to prove or disprove that.

Death terminates our physical stimulations.

Definition of mind: the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought.

So there is no possible need for our mind to survive our physical death as there are no longer and experiences to which we are aware of.

That is, all of our input devices no longer exist. We cannot taste, touch, feel, hunger, love, hate ... etc.

The dead know not anything. There are no longer any inputs to be experienced!

If our mind "lived on" after our death, it would be bored, bored, bored . . . . bored . . .. bored ....

We cannot understand the mind of God or other spiritual bodied beings, until we are born again of the Spirit as a spirit. We will then be members of the spiritual bodied Kingdom of God and understand the mysteries of the spiritual world.

The thing which convinced me that I wasn't just the physical body, was having OOBEs.
Once a person experiences that, theological beliefs re religious mythology which deny such a thing is possible, naturally have to become suspect.

Did these OOBEs (out of body experiences) occur while you were asleep, unconscious, or under the influence of some chemical or drug?

If you were not in one of those states, what would your body be doing without "you" being in it?

It could fall or collapse and hurt itself without your mental control being available.

But if you were in one of those states, then that state could explain the out of body experiences.

Do you have any evidence to support these assertions?

I believe that the people who have these so-called OOBEs are indeed either under the influence of some drug, or are having a heck of a dream.
