Christ is saying let the spiritually dead bury the dead.

I believe both our bodies and our souls die, just as Jesus' did.

Else what need for the resurrection?

God Bless.

Bible has many parables. But, as you also point out, person can be spiritually dead, and then it is not a parable.
I believe that is exactly what makes it a parable; that they are spiritually dead.

The spirit and the soul are not the same thing.

God bless

I agree that they are not the same, but spirit is not a parable in the Bible, it is something real. If you think spirit is a parable, please explain what it is a parable for?

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying here, but I will say that parables certainly do represent real things. They are not literally true but represent something that certainly is true.

Peace.

Ok, so, do you mean that spirit is a parable? If yes, what does it represent?
