souls are like the fishes in the ocean and Spirit is the ocean in which the souls live , move and have their being .
God is the source of the ocean (spirit)

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.

I totally agree. Grail message?

Do animals have a souls or not ? Its simple make ur research. When it comes to animal, spirit is an exception I already stated it clearly if that's ur point.
And wen Jesus casts evil spirit out of a mad man, the evil spirit begged Him dat he has no where to live, then Jesus sent him to live inside Pigs. Shey animal no fit hav spirit ni. We no be God wey knws everythin therein.

Human are basically SPIRIT that has a SOUL and Lives in a BODY - The SOUL defines PERSONALITY, the BODY defines man's PHYSICALITY and the SPIRIT defines the real HUMANITY itself.

man is a spirit, he has a soul and live in a body.
soul is subjected to the world and can get influenced. Rom 12:2.
The spirit is what gives life to man and does not die.
when one gets born again, it's his spirit that gets born again. not soul nor body.
can't type much now.

The spirit is the element in humanity which gives us the ability to have an intimate relationship with God.while soul refer to both the immaterial and
material aspects of humanity.

Concerning your question on the Soul versus
the Spirit, let me first say it is a good one!
There are some who don't believe there is a
difference. This is due to the fact that the
Hebrew word for soul is nephesh which means
literally "life". It is also used for animals (Gen
1:20-24) and man as a whole person (Joshua
2:13, Exodus 21:23). The Hebrew texts
denotes the spirit as "ruach" and refers to it as
only the immaterial part of man (Num 16:22).

The soul is the breathe of life given by God to you, the Spirit is the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. Once your soul agrees with Spirit, you become righteous.

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. [/quote

. Spirit is the totality of awareness. It is the omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence of God.
. Spirit is the voice of God which manifest itself as Light and Sound. Spirit, the Voice of HU-HU is often known as the Sugmad-which is the true name of God in the upper realms, is the creative energy. As It (Spirit) flows down through the worlds, from Its fountainhead in the center of all creation, far above this earth world, It needs distributors, and It works through Souls.

It has been said that the soul belongs to God while the spirit belongs to man.if u agree with that proposition.Then,can you explain the basis of your argument?
I don't agree, the spirit and soul are different. With the spirit we connect with the spiritual realm, with the soul we connect with the mental realm(reasoning). Think those are the difference

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.

The above is for a man of flesh. The other way: ur body leads ur soul to wherever ur spirit instructs ur body.
Re: The Difference Between The Soul And The Spirit by Obi901: 7:53am On Mar 01, 2015
. Soul is the manifested individual beingness of Spirit. Soul is created out of Spirit and has the ability to have freewill, choice, create, opinion, intelligence, imagination and postulate. Soul being part of Spirit Must survive because It has Immortality. It must be a distributor for Spirit consciously or unconsciously. The proper thing for Soul is to choose to distribute the positive.
. Soul in the lower world must take a form. Because to be a distributor for Spirit it needs a vessel. It takes the form of minerals, plant and animals( man included). This is the Spiritual evolution of Soul, nothing is dead, everything is alive. The destiny of every Soul is to be a Co-worker with God.
. An analogy is seeing Spirit as a large mirror. When broken to pieces, the small pieces can be seen as Souls and these small pieces has the same qualities of the mirror but in smaller degree. We are one with Spirit but as Souls each of us is a unit of awareness.

My 50K on this..

Spirit: Man is a spirit, all living beings have a spirit.. and their spirit is from God. The spirit is the live of God is every living being.

Body: Man is a spirit living in a body. The body is just the house in which we live in, through which we see the world. Thats why a christain must not live by the dictates of the flesh.

Soul: Soul is the ability of man to choose who to serve. Man and angels have souls, thats why we can choose to follow God or the devil. Lucifer and his angels choose not to follow God - so they have a soul.

The battle of Good with Bad, God with the devil, I believe is all for teh soul of men.

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.

Could u share some of ur research sources, it looks good.
