What’s the difference between Brain and mind!
What’s their function?

Brain comes from old English “head” I have a physical head.
I don't know their functions, you are the expert here and you have said that your brain is immaterial. I agree with you

Brain is the organ that controls and oversees all bodily functions. Mind is an emergent property of the workings of the brain that serves to encapsulate the identity of the individual.

Can you think with only brain and not mind?
And is mind a organ?
The origin of that word “brain” comes from “head” “brainbox” before it was changed to brain. It’s the mind that does the thinking in the brain(brainbox)

Your mind is physical right?

Maynman, seems you are conflating brain and mind. Brain is physical, mind is immaterial. Brain in inside your head aka brainbox while mind has no physical location.

I think the word you are looking for is intangible not immaterial. The mind may be intangible but it does have a physical location or it is the intangible function of a physical object, the brain/nervous system. The so called “immaterial” is just another way to refer to spirits and souls.

You have a physical brain, but you don’t have a physical mind? How come?
Do you reason without your mind?
See a doctor, you need help.
You are posting too much jargons

Bro, the English word for brain comes from “brain locker” so when you say I have a brain, you mean I have a brain locker. But what does the thinking in the brain(brainlocker) is the mind, you can call it soul or Om.
I’m not talking about the location of the mind, I’m talking about the mind itself, can we extract it?
The definition of “immaterial” doesn’t relate to spirit or soul.

What is hard to understand?

“Brain” was previously translated as “brain locker” look at the origin of the name.
So when you say I have a brain, you mean I have a brain locker but the thing that does the thinking in the brain(brainbox/locker) is the mind, you can call it soul or Om.

I don’t care about your mumbo jumbo, whether you call it brain locker or foot locker. Soul, Om, or Mo.

Then who called you into mumbo jumbo? Were you invited?
We have mad people that have “brain”(brainlocker) but they don’t have the mind(reasoning) to be able to use it.

Re: What Is The Difference Between Spirit And Soul by Maynman: 3:05pm On Apr 23, 2022

I agree with you

Don’t mad people have brain? But the thing(mind) that’s doing the thinking in the brain(brainlocker) is missing.

Exactly, that is why they are not the same thing. The brain is not intangible, the mind is.

The brain(brainlocker) of course is physical, but the mind is the one that does the thinking in the brain(brainlocker).
Do they do brain surgery for mad people? What are they gonna treat inside the brain?
I said they are the same in meaning. But in context they are not.

Point taken.

You can’t smell the mind or hear the sound. It’s immaterial
Intangible means you can’t feel it by touch, but you can use your other senses for it.

“Have a soul or spirit?” You said soul=spirit

Either cases. Is there anyone that you won’t need to have a spirit? And it’s an adverb.

Yes they are same. Human= body and soul/spirit.

Having a spirit is having a soul.

A Soul, you were created with as a result of being born of the physical components of this here world. undecided

However, a spirit you acquire when you become born-again. - John 3 vs 5 - 8 undecided
What about spiritual wickedness, are they not spirits?

Spiritual wickedness? You mean demons and devils? Like Angels, they are obviously not humans and so the same rules do not apply to them. undecided
