StUriah: I don't know if you are a Christian because I want to ask how can a Christian empowers the soul to resist forces limiting its functions to nature alone during the night or during sleep state. Those forces are making sure they are taking the soul aware when am about to sleep EVERY DAY thereby preventing it from creating a connection with Gods spirit to explore. This has been my challenges for years now and I'll be glad If you can enlightened me the more sir. thank you 1 Like 1 Share |

TeamLeader:It's all about NUTRITION. When the body is fed with junk and unhealthy food, it becomes easy for microbes and breakdown to occur. When the soul is fed with junk and unhealthy food, it becomes easy for microbes and breakdown to occur. Since your spirit is fed through your soul, whatever the state of your soul sets a limitation to your spirit. A human being is a Trinity of Body, Soul and Spirit (each one of these is your IDENTITY). Your identity is how you are identified. 1. Your BODY is your physical identity. This is how everyone in the physical realm (your parent, your friend and even including your dog identify you). Your body can be recrafted either surgically or by accident and people will not recognise you again. Without physical light, your body is invisible. 2. Your SPIRIT is your spiritual identity. This is how everyone in the spiritual realm (God, Angels and even demons identify you). Just like Angels have a spiritual form and can be distinguishable from another angel, so also your spirit make you distinguishable from other spirits. 3. Your SOUL is your personal/internal identity. This is how YOU identify yourself as you. Even if you woke up after 2 years in coma and you discovered that you have been surgically physically converted to look exactly like Buhari, you won't mis-identify yourself as Buhari (no matter how perfect the surgery is). This is your internal/personal identity.Your soul is what you refer to as "ME", "I", "Myself" etc. Your soul has these functions: the seat of your emotion, the seat of your intellect and the seat of choice/VOLITION Animals are Dualities and have a Soul and Body Angels, demons are Dualities and have a Soul and Spirit Human beings are Trinities and they have a Body, Soul and Spirit. When a man physically dies, his body is disconnected from the union of his Soul and Spirit. His Soul and Spirit this fully represent him before resurrection. I hope this makes a little sense to you |

Parablesonmarble: I just like the way you break this down. kudos sir but I really want to ask some questions bothering me so much . Now based on your write up, if a soul is heavily compromise with dark forces what can be done? in my own case sir I am very certain that they planted dark power into my flesh that prevent my soul from manifesting the spiritual. I am sure of it. Whenever I sleep my body feels empty like I won't feel my soul again. they planted this stuff on my chest that whenever am about to sleep, I will be breathing with one nose to my heart making me take in lots of air in and the other nose will be blocked totally thereby making my stomach deflated. and when I eventually sleep I will find myself in strange places mostly village. what can I do to because when the attack came to my chest I felt so much pain and after the pain relieved me and since then its been like that. please I need help. thank you |

Ok... Check Out This Analogy. .. 1. Electricity 2. Software 3. Hardware. .... 1. Spirit 2. Soul 3. Body.. ......... The Electricity is the source of power for all the systems, and it is same everywhere. Without it, none of the systems can function. The Software is what describes each individual system. Both the system software, and the applications softwares. They are all what makes the system what it is. When two or more systems are communicating, it is actually the softwares that are communicating. The Hardware is the physical components of the system. The type of hardware and the physical attributes of the hardware can affect the functionality of the software (which in the real sense describes the system). Nevertheless, it cannot affect the nature of electricity itself which powers the system. 1 Like 1 Share |

TeamLeader: In case a body is inhabited by unwanted spirit, then exorcism is done to chase the spirit away. However, there are very few true exorcists around nowadays because it is a very dangerous business. You see, Western esotericism, Eastern occultism, mysticism and their likes are all well documented and can be easily understood but West African spiritism in its raw form has little documentation, not so easily understood but not less powerful than any other spiritism forms world wide. Exorcism is not exactly a common practice in West African spiritism. I think I understand your situation to an extent but cannot explain on an open forum such as this. Inbox me if you interested in my suggestions. |

For example, for the United States, the soul is racial discrimination, and the spirit is police violence. For many blacks, the line between police brutality and their suffering in the covid-19 pandemic is not trivial. An associated press analysis of state and local data shows that, given the proportion of black people in the population, they die much faster than expected. One study found that black people seeking to test or treat covid-19 are six times more likely to be rejected than white people.

titusmichael27:Its not an argument. It's a discussion. The issue of body, spirit and soul is an important concept Christians must understand. I think that's clear enough in Genesis 2:7. |

MOnkeyBabe:Every thing about human existence is so connected that you can not separate the soul from the spirit. The Soul is dependent on the Spirit to function and not the Spirit on the Soul. But the Soul has freewill. I can't go on. 1 Like 1 Share |

titusmichael27:I believe humans are made up of dust (body) and the breath of God (spirit or whatever). When we die, the spirit returns to God that gave it and the Body return to dust. We sleep in the dust until the second coming of Christ. Nothing survives the body after death (most people believe otherwise) That's my stand on this subject. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between Soul And Spirit? by titusmichael27(m): 2:47pm On Jul 03, 2020 |
DeOTR:That's wonderful. i'm going to use the same verse of the scripture(gen. 2-7) to offer you the truth. upon all the people that comments on this subject you seem to be picked out for this, nevertheless the Holy spirit will guide you to all truth. And the Gods formed man from the dust of the ground, and took his spirit( that is, the man's spirit), and put it into him; and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. close quote. The breath of life is the strength to live, and only God can give you that, but the spirit is eternal, the real you. The spirit (you) existed before the creation. like jerem 1:5 |
Re: What Is The Difference Between Soul And Spirit? by bigfrancis21: 1:25am On Jul 05, 2020 |
Ubongdemaga: Soul is simply the life force that keeps the human body alive. When it exits the human body, the body loses life and it is dead. Spirit is simply the soul in manifestation. In other words, when the soul of your late mother or sister decides to visit a relative still living in a dream, vision, trance etc, they are able to transform to a form recognizable to that person ie spirit. Spirit and soul are the same thing, their difference being their manifested form. The spirit has form, the soul is actually formless and can take on any form/shape ie glob of light, etc. That’s why you say, ‘I saw the spirit of my late father’ and not, ‘I saw the soul of my late father’. 1 Like |

titusmichael27: American King James VersionGod formed man, gave him the breath of life, and he became a living soul/being. There's no mention of a separate spirit here. That's why, we say a person breaths his last breath at death. What happens when we breath our last breath? The breath returns to the Giver (our breath is our life, without which any other thing is useless) and the body returns to dust from whence it was taken. Nothing else happens. No eternal spirit here. We are mortals, we stop existing when we die. It's on the last day that the righteous gain everlasting life. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between Soul And Spirit? by TheStarsAlign: 6:20pm On Jul 12, 2020 |
From everything that has been said/written, we can simply say that the body needs the soul to be. In other words, the soul is core & intangible part of a living human. The spirit (also intangible) on the other hand comes and goes depending on the 'state of the host'. That is why someone can become possesed by evil spirit or filled with holy spirit and can also be without both. ---- Life without knowledge is like death in disguise/ That's why knowledge itself is like life after death/... ~ Talib Kweli (Knowledge of Self) |

Before, I never thought about the difference between the soul and the spirit. But actually, these are completely two different things. The soul is mostly related to the mind and emotion. Our soul describes our state of mind, and it is about how we feel and how we act in different situations. So, if we are kind to anything and we act correctly, then our soul is clean. But the spirit allows us to have a connection with God. It gives us the hope that someone protects us and will save us from scary things. I recently read a few manuscripts from https://famfex.com/ that opened my mind. There are many interesting things that made me see the world from another point of view, and I recommend it to others. |

To be a spiritual person, you don't need to be religious or "perfect" and you definitely don't need to shave your head, practice yoga, meditate, and do spiritual rituals every day. There are many contradictions and confusions surrounding what it means to be "spiritual". Especially with all religious people who want to benefit from their spirituality and with the emergence of many profit-making institutions in recent times that claim to own the secret and make a profit behind it. However, spirituality differs from one person to another and [url] الشيخ الروحاني[/url]https://www.elso9.net/%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%88-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%AE-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%AD%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B6%D9%85%D9%88%D9%86/ it is not possible to put a special definition for it, and there is no single way to practice it! No one can tell you what spirituality is, not even how to become a spiritual person, because you are a unique soul like a rose or a leaf of grass, you are completely different from another. And there is no one else like you. |
