Fellow nairalanders,i greet y'all.. This is my first topic on this section and i will really need your help here. I want to know the difference between 'spirit' and 'soul'.Do u think there is a difference between the two? When we die,which of them leaves the body,is it the soul or the spirit?
Thanks!

There is no difference, both are figment of the imagination

really? Am i right to call the 'Holyspirit' HolySoul?

Emmy9ite: really? Am i right to call the 'Holyspirit' HolySoul?

you miss the point mate! neither holyspirit nor holysoul exist

People like you and me created them!

As a human being, u r composed of three entities. Ur body, ur soul n ur spirit. Ur body is d part u see, d physical aspect of who u r. Ur soul is ur intellectual aspect, ur will, ur emotions, ur pride, ur achievements, ur thinkin, ur reasonin etc. Ur spirit, as d name implies is ur spiritual aspect. Ur spirit is d only part of u that lives on after ur physical body dies.

i dont agree with the part of the soul! If our spirits lives,does the soul die with the body??

Yes, d soul dies with d body

Lyzbet: Yes, d soul dies with d body

thanks for ur reply....lemme hear frm others.

Where are my other nairalanders? Come lets answer this 2geda.....muki front page please!

thread doesnt have to be frontpage.

@ topic

i think soul has to do with blood, and others are also correct.

not counting the thread derailers.

i will answer you with analogies so that it can make more sense to you.

i will answer you with analogies so that it can make more sense to you.
spirit is like the ocean and souls are the different creatures that live in that ocean. each of those creatures are unique and different from another creature but they are all bonded together by the ocean in which they live and have their being.

if you study the human body it gives you another close analogy on how the cosmos is arranged. spirit can be likened to the blood which moves around the whole body nourishing and keeping alive the different unique individual cells in the body which can be likened to souls. the blood is pumped by the heart which can likened to the God centre from which the Holy Spirit flows sustaining and creating all life.
The Holy Spirit is the creative force of God with which God created all life and sustains all life and souls are individualized units of life that have separate identities and consciousness.

and then tell us where the mind,conscience reside.in the body,soul or spirit?
or perhaps the body-soul-spirit is just another triumvate akin to the father-son-spirit triumvate

thanks bro,do u mean humans have more than one soul?? Coz that is what i got from ur post!

Even if I show u u go gree??

Well I dnt believe in the triune formular of soul,spirit and body...

All I am saying is that d soul is the individual person(d soul that sinneth dies)..

While d spirit is d breath of life..

It seems u never read d book of genesis when u were a christian..lol

The breath of life could be anything...eg oxygen......keep peddling nonsense

spirit and soul are the same thing. its called soul when it is in a human body. when the body dies it gets released and exists alone as the spirit. so think of a spirit as being homeless, while a spirit who is not homeless is a soul.

Do u see oxygen??

D life force in a human is d spirit....

What's propels the human life is the air we breath......abi??

The greek word for spirit signifies wind,the air........

We are both right if u understand what I mean....

U just always wana be on the opposing side...:-)

do animals have a soul/spirit?

@ Emmy9ite

thanks bro,do u mean humans have more than one soul?? Coz that is what i got from ur post!

we do not possess soul. it is the other way round. we are souls wearing a physical body. all the various forms of life you see were all created by the Holy Spirit of God, the creative force, as clothes or bodies for souls to put on in order to experience life in the universes of God. when soul is done with each particular experience, it simply drops that body which goes back to dust and wears another one to continue its experiences.

Na wa for una o,na so una want take change the topic to chemistry ba?
#Back to topic! I just realised that spirit and ghost are the same,that is why we can say Holyspirit and Holyghost. Now a ghost is what comes after death(as we watch in movies) and we are made to believe but the soul is what goes for judgement after the body is dead,it either ends up in heaven or in hell!
With this few point of mine,i hope i have been able to convince and not confuse u that there is a difference between 'spirit' and 'soul'.
Thank you

bros am so impressed with the reply..after the soul drops the body,does it pick the spirit? When does the spirit come into play?

Animals are souls just like humans....

They are breathing and living creatures as well......
