who said?

meanwhile, the soul and spirit ain't same. However, where the spirit is, the soul is... The soul is the 'brain' of the spirit. They live forever, and both return to God after death.

The spirit is an immaterial part of human being connected to a divine being(God). The spirit brings the connection between man and the divine spirit through which some divine massages are given while some requests are made by man. Through the sprit we relate to God. The spirit is also part of the soul. Everyman has a spirit and soul While the soul refers to the entire human being. Through the soul we could both relate to other humans and even animal, why ? Because they both have a soul. Human and animal have a soul but animals do not have a spirit. The mind,spirit,thoughts,feeling etc are all part of the soul.

the soul is your real self, which is indestructible.

the spirit is just like google map. it leads your soul to wherever your body instructs your spirit. the spirit could be evil spirit(which is rampant) or holy spirit.

According to my research on spirit, the body only houses one entity and that is the spirit. When one dies, he/she lives forever as a spirit guide to people in this physical world.

They don't, if they did... Jesus' salvation work would apply to them too. But God so loved the world of men that he gave Jesus. We are special to God because we are a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body.

truck load of baloney!

the Bible is the only book with divine truth...and the Bible let's me know that God's word can separate the soul from the spirit.

now you are going into electrical pulses from the brain...you've derailed from the soul an spirit thread you started. lol

That's where u are wrong. Jesus came to this world to save man's soul (fact) from their sin but not animals because they don't need to be saved. Also if animals have no soul why do u think they can feel ur pain and sadness? If animals have no soul why will u talk to a dog to do something which he will certainly do. If animals have no soul why will they see danger and run? If they have no soul why were the israelite told not eat anything strangled. Also what's a living creature?

Kedam is right! The spirit is very old as time itself, they are the real us who re incarnate endlessly for eternity. this spirit was you in the beginning of time. The soul is a gift, the new you now with freewill, new personality if you must say with the body is composed of the unique DNA. the body is just the vessel which makes us exist in physical form. when we die, the spirit reincarnate, the body decomposes, the soul goes for judgement, washing before it can go into the custody of GOD. What this means is that GOD and your spirit are brothers, seperate individual, yet ONE as one can be in unity.
Animal do have soul, because they have freewill and are made from the good characters of the blackman. spirit, they do not possess. every blackman and blackwoman has his/her unique spirit. all other races take theirs from the blackman collectively.

Hmm!nice thread. But just want you to knw this: there are billions of soul(breath of God) that exist in various forms(man,animals,plants,demi-gods,gods,entities,any living being), the soul lives forever because its directly from GOD,a part of GOD(that is why we are called sons,daughters and slaves of GOD depending on ur religion) and they exist in different places and levels with different consciousness but there is ONLY ONE SPIRIT. The spirit create all souls,it is a FORCE,a force use by the supreme God to create all heavens,planets, IT connect all living beings. The spirit is the voice of God, it expresses ITSELF through light(eg sun) or sound(eg.wind,thunder). Some religion know it as holy spirit(Christianity),word,ECK(ECKankar),pavitr Atma(hindu), faithful spirit(islam),sangha(Buddhism) and some call it 'mother nature'. It doesn't matter which name u call it but main it is to know it is the LIFE FORCE(use by Supreme God) that create and sustain all no matter which body form you are, it is the VOICE OF GOD. That's is why when u are dead doesn't mean all it finish,u simply translate to another form of existence according to ur akashic record.

1. Animals dnt have a spirit?
2 if you are a spirit inhabiting a body, when did the habitation start, when did you enter ur body? When you came out of the Womb? When you where still in the womb ? When you became an embryo?, or when you still be spermatozoa?.
3. Are you consious before the habitation , if yes , tell us about it. If no , why?

so, anything that can feel pain and sadness etc has a soul?

meeeh, you need Jesus. Everything responds to sound, for it was sound that brought them to being. God spoke and everything has signature of that sound code. Every thing came from darkness and water by sounds of God's word.

every creature has intelligence both living an non living. That was why God asked Moses to speak to the rock for water,that was why Jesus stopped the winds...how? by using the right sound code.

The whole creature is in pains and are groaning waiting for the sons of God to come to their libration. that's how every thing responds to sound, whether positively or negatively.

God spoke creation into being through words. When He
said, "Let there be light", light came into being (Genesis
1:3). Most of Genesis chapter one is about God speaking
creation into being. Have you ever wondered why God had
to "talk" to bring forth these things instead of making them? It's because by talking, you create a sound code.

Speech creates sound waves, and the original source
material for creation is sound, because that's the energy
produced by words.

Sound code therefore, is the instruction, meaning, account, or information embedded in a sound wave.

Sometime ago, a scientist performed an experiment to ascertain the effect of words on water. He had water in
different jars and would talk to the different containers of
water. After a long while, each of them formed crystals.

The ones he talked nicely to formed beautiful crystals. He
spoke words of love: "You're wonderful; you're beautiful; you're full of love"; and beautiful crystals resulted.

However, the jars he spoke harshly to, saying, "You're
ugly, terrible, bad; I hate you", formed very poor, ugly-
looking crystals; deformed crystals.

Can we then say water has a soul?

my point is only humans have a soul. the fact that animals feel pains etc is no reason to deduce they have a soul.

like I said, all creation are in pains...does it mean they all have souls,even worms?

Romans 8:19 BBE
For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now.

my question is these. What's a living creature ? The main different between man and animals ? Why was the israelite forbidden to eat anything strangled? Using water is just a scientific deduction and not reliable..

From the op to the last person above me,you all are posting pure ignorance with no atom of truth whatsoever!!
Why not just keep mute on things you know nothing about!!
....
Edited:
******
Most people confuse the spirit with soul,and don't even know what the soul is..They say when you die,your soul goes back to its creator..Like seriously? So where does the spirit itself go?
What most people confuse themselves to be the "soul" is just the "human spirit"..
Now,the "soul" is the human person.It is the individual characteristics that makes you what you are.The soul is each persons personality embodied in his DNA and differentiates the person from another.. The soul is you and you are soul,in other words,That uniqueness in you which you can't share with anyone else..
In a nutshell,The soul is the individual personality or characteristics embodied in you and shared only by you...
..
When a person dies,His spirit moves on,not his soul..The soul only comes alive when the individual is "living"...
The soul is just your human signature for recognition!!

nice topic. its through your soul you make informed decisions. your soul deals with thought, emotions etc while the spirit is the 'religious' man in us, the part that receives instruction and guidance from God.

BTW, I have absolutely NO EXPLANATION to offer so don't bother quoting me. grin

the soul is synonymous with "man" or a "LIVING BEING", even animals, fish, birds etc are souls. (every living soul must praise the Lord), the spirit is the life force that keeps us breathing in and out, it is that breath of life God blew into Adam when He first created Adam, when a man or animal dies, that breath (spirit) leaves the man or animal and return to God, then he or it becomes a dead soul. the soul or spirit does not materialize in some sort of immaterial spirit being in heaven or hell as some believe, it rests in the grave and that explains why there is "resurrection", if not so why would God resurrect someone who is already in heaven with him?
