Spirit is life from God

Soul is you, who you are, your personality and character etc

^^^
simply, Soul is spirit plus body, you.

Body houses your Spirit and Soul

Spirit Is An Invisible Form Of Life.


Soul Is The Person, Individual That Has A Physical Body. Me Who Is Typing This Is A Soul. You Who Is Reading It Is A Soul Also. EZekiel 18:4. Ecclesiastics 3:18,19.


The Body Is The Body Naa. The Physical Body Made By God From Dust. cheesy

^^^ thumbs up


The spirit in man is the breath of life from God
the human soul is the spirit plus the body (a breathing creature)
the body of man is flesh and blood housing his spirit

Old testament for spirit is
"ruach" - breath, mind

New testament for spirit is
"pneuma" - breath, mind



Old Testament for soul is
"nephesh" - a breathing creature

New Testament for soul is
"psuche" - breath, spirit, of animal

creature and animal meaning flesh, includes man




As you see spirit and soul are similar, perhaps only God knows the diffrence:

Heb_4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.


ril19 can you add anything more?
