Where was Jesus' spirit when he died?

Answer 1

It was in his body. Otherwise he would have been dead and couldn't have died.

Answer:

It was with His Father: "...and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." (Eccle.12:7)

Answer 2

Jesus was the antitype foreshadowed by Moses, the great mediator and leader of the congregation of Israel. God himself disposed of Moses' body by burial, and "no man knoweth of his sepulchre". (Deut. 34:5, 6) Later, one of the Christian writers says that Michael had a dispute with the Devil over the body of Moses. (Jude 9) The Devil desired to get the body of Moses the great leader and to use it as an object of worship to draw the Israelites away from their true invisible Commander and Leader, Jehovah God. With stronger desire the Devil wanted to obtain the fleshly body of Jesus after his death to induce some to worship it and use it for indecent false religious purposes, thus reproaching Jehovah God. But Jehovah thwarted the Devil's purpose in both cases by disposing of the bodies of these two faithful men.

Moses' body returned to the dust by process of decay, as all human bodies do, but not so in Jesus' case, for it is written: "For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption." (Ps. 16:10, AS; Acts 2:31) So God caused Jesus' body to disappear, but not corrupt, meaning that it was dissolved, disintegrated back into the elements from which all human bodies are made.-John 20:1-13.

The resurrected Jesus was given a spirit body: "He being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit." (1 Pet. 3:18, NW) "Whom not one of men has seen or can see." (1 Tim. 6:16, NW) Paul merely caught a glimpse of the glory of Jesus' spirit body and was blinded. (1 Cor. 15:8; Acts 9:17, 18) At the resurrection of his faithful followers in whom God has cultivated heavenly hopes they will be given, not fleshly, but glorious spirit bodies. We all know what a fleshly body is like. But John says: "Beloved ones, now we are children of God, but as yet it has not been made manifest what we shall be. We do know that whenever he is made manifest we shall be like him, because we shall see him just as he is."-1 John 3:2, NW.
