What is the difference between a soul and a spirit?

Answer 1

Opinions

• Many rarely don't know the difference between soul and spirit you know in our life we can carry our soul to where ever we are going because the soul is with the men and in you, your heart can be say your soul, hence. spirit in given by God no man can give spirit and the spirit is with your soul they move together as one and the work together as well.

• A spirit is a soul that does not inhabit a physical body at this time. We exist in subconscious mind , which is the soul, while not in a body.

• Our Spirit represent our true self, the spark of light, the Living Force, some how we trapped into this material world via this body we use it now, and according to our desire and by the direction of Supreme Spirit (God) we utilize this body until it comes to an end. The interpretation Soul and Spirit confused by some people, so the Soul represents you as a person physical being , but Spirit is the Life Force, which use the body (the soul).

• Your soul gives your body life. Your spirit is your free will and your emotions: love, hate, joy, sadness...

  Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

  Genesis 35:18 (KJV) And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

  Genesis 41:7 (KJV) And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

  Genesis 41:8 (KJV) And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

  Genesis 45:27 (KJV) And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:

  Exodus 35:21 (KJV) And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.

  Proverbs 20:27 (KJV) The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

• The spirit is that part of a human that is most identified with God. The soul is composed of the mind, the will, and the emotions.

  The spirit is changed at the moment a human gives his/her heart to Jesus Christ and is converted by God. The Holy Spirit now resides within the individual. The soul is gradually changed after conversion through a daily dying to self and sanctifying(being set apart) through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Answer:

I have a slightly different thought on this. You soul is your spirit and when you accept the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit indwells with you. I am not speaking of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit but when you accept the Lord Jesus you are a new creature in Christ.

If I am wrong, God forgive me, please.

Answer 2

While a soul is owned by a human a spirit is another being.
