"soul" is used in various ways, with diverse connotations found throughout the scriptures and in other Church writings. However, the word also has a precise definition given in latter-day revelation: the soul is the united entity of the spirit with the physical body (D&C 88:15-16 ). This concept is enhanced by an understanding of (1) the creation of humankind as a uniting of the spirit body and the physical body (Gen. 2:7)..... Points of correction; 1 conscience has nothing to do with soul or spirit. 2 spirit is not a force and for the purpose of understanding, there is a different between the breath of life and the spirit. isaiah 42:5. |

dinodesmond: The illustration was brilliant, but I think on a more deeper note *The Soul in this case is the Operating System within the phone. *The Sim card is the Spirit Man which receive signals from the Spirit of God or Holy ghost(Network). 1 Like |

shadeyinka: I agree to some extent. However, when you say "Your Soul" for example, it is suggestive of the fact that Soul is been possessed by something else perceived to be the real you. E.g. I say "your bag". This means that you and the bag are different entities, and you possess the bag. I understand Soul to be the real you. You don't posses a Soul; you are Soul. 2 Likes |

backbone503: Bro your Analogy is concise and brilliant But on a deeper consideration, I think *The Sim card should be likened to our Spirit Man that has to be in constant fellowship with the Holy ghost(which I will attribute as the Network here) *Then the Soul I will say is the Operating System and Software in the phone. |

backbone503: Lol! Of course bro. As a matter of fact I have been doing so. I can use any of these online Telecommunication networks (Skype for instance) and buy online Skype credits which I can use in calling anyone anywhere in the world. Even with their local phone numbers. Moreso, I can use A very good WIFI network to browse and have nothing to do with a Sim card. You can do all these without a sim-card, but not without an Operating System and Software. �� |

titusmichael27: You are right that the Spirit is not the breath. But why do you say the conscience has nothing to do with the soul or Spirit?? |

blackbone989:didn't you say the soul is indestructible and goes back to God after death? and you are still saying both the spirit and body are what determine where the soul goes. clarify that |

This is the answer: Genesis 2:7 - 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." The breath is the spirit, and that makes the object formed out of the dust a living soul. Spirit simply means breath, while soul is a living being. As simple as that. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between Soul And Spirit? by DeOTR: 3:54pm On Jun 28, 2020 |
titusmichael27:Ecclesiastes 12:7 ...'Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. You're in direct contrast to the above verse which clearly states that the breath of life given to man by God at creation is the spirit that returns to God when man dies. The original book uses the same word for breath and spirit. For the most part, spirit means breath, or air wherever it appears in the Bible. I'm not taking about the English translations here. |

DeOTR:The question is this, did the Bible say that the breath of life will return to God? which one did the bible mention spirit or the breath of life? |

Soul is a Life Force or Energy that can only be absorbed by its source - a Spirit is a body of consciousness existing inside a body |

CalvinGaye:So sorry about the delay. What is conscience in the first place? It is the inner voice or feelings that signal us whenever we do/did something right or wrong. However, it is base on our standard of moral training from infant or so. let's say christian and muslem for instance, do you think people from these religions have the same conscience? of course no! Conscience has a lot to do with mind (brain) and information (knowledge) in it. |

Man is a spirit( Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinewsJob10:11)has a soul & lives in a body. Man interface with God through his spirit for God is Spirit(John4:24 -God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Prov.20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.)While the soul comprising of the mind(intellect), emotions & will are the the means he interface with his body.The spirit is God- ward(Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward-Ecli.3:21)while the soul is earth-ward. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ-1theso.5:23 |

LaEvilIMiss:Well! the bible was written by inspired men but was translated by scholars. It suppose to have been translated by a man or men with influence of the Holy spirit. The seems mistake is from men not from the original writers or God. You can't use a circular knowledge or canal mind on things like bible. That's why you need to have the companionship of the Holy spirit before you can get the real (truth) message. |

titusmichael27:Job 27:3,4(NKJV) ...'As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils, My lips will not speak wickedness, Nor my tongue utter deceit. As we all know, it's the breath of life that was breathed into man's nostril that made him a living soul. Job is confirming it here. And as far as I know, the Ecclesiastes 27:3 is referring to the breath of God. That was the only thing on record that was given by God to man at creation. The it's the same Hebrew word Ruach translated into English differently. The breath of life and the spirit that leaves man and returns to God at death are the same. The Bible is clear about this. It is the breath of God that serves as animator. Once you lose your breath, you're literally dead and the body will ultimately return to dust. This is the simple truth as echoed by the Bible. |

DeOTR:Isaiah 42:5 Thus said God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: (close quote) this tells you that the breath is different from the spirit. May be you should consider calling God breath cos john said he's a spirit. |
