Spirit of Christ according to Romans 8 is in those that belong to him. The spirit is the the spirit of God.
But "spirit", what is it in the religion/biblical sense. exactly?
Should Christians follow moral absolutism? Did Jesus follow moral absolutism?

@Stephen
Are you asking what is a spirit according to the Bible?
I don't believe the bible states a definition but describes or characterizes it .

Now, I was thinking,What would happen if someone accepted "Its wrong to kill others" as his moral value?He would be banned from killing even in self defense. He wouldnt be able to kill anyone under any circumstance.Was this Jesus's morality while he was on Earth? Jesus did not kill any other person, but he did kill animals and he did damage property.However, even when faced with torture and death, he refused to kill those who wanted to kill him.So one must wonder, does Bible teach how self-defense is wrong?And if so, why dont Christians follow that teaching?
The Bible declares that Murder is sinful. It doesn't teach that killing another is ALWAYS wrong.
This means that a lawful killing is acceptable. For instance, self-defence, killing on behalf of another, such as war. Capital punishment.
Killing animals is acceptable for various purposes. Not just for the sheer sake of it. For food, clothing, etc. For self-defence. of property and people.
Hence, self-defence is not wrong. What is wrong however is abortion and euthanasia.
