nairaland pastors should be invited. But they'll never give you a unified answer.

It depends on what you mean by the spirit, for if you mean a human spirit, then there's no difference between a person's spirit and his soul.

For the soul of a person is the person's individual spirit, and that which distinguishes the person's spirit from another person spirit.

And it emanated from the source of all spirits, which is the Spirit of God.

Genesis 2:7 (KJV)

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.

No difference. The Soul is a Spirit living in the Bones, Nerves, Veins and Arteries.
The Heart, Mind and Flesh are Spirits too.

Spirit is the base level of the conscious unit of awareness.

Soul is the base vehicular unit of transport of spirit to any Reality it seeks to experience in Created Universes.

Spirit is the divine (God) part of man while Soul is the real man.

hmm

A Spirit is a soul while a soul is a spirit

There's no much of a difference just that a spirit can harbor in a soul but a soul can't harbor in a spirit

Let's say for example in a sentence... "99% of Afonjas are possessed with an evil spirit hence resulting to their extreme depravity" that is an afonja soul is in possession of a spirit which is the spirit harboring in a soul. And the spirit is causing them to inflict harm to the environs and even their family members

You can also put it the other way round like All Afonjas are filled with the holy spirit but that's an impossible tense but it isn't what we are here to discuss

Furthermore.... There's more but I hope you get something from the few points I made

Off to church

Did I just say church

Man is a spirit that has a soul, and the spirit lives in the human body.

The difference is the same!

No difference

Spirit is alcoholic, soul is not

Or the mind and the heart or wind and breeze. Lol. I feel the difference may depends on who is giving it. Whether a Buddhist or a Judaist etc. To me, the spirit is at one with the soul, the difference is in vocabulary

Explanation of the Spirit, Soul and Body is a very sensitive matter that needs serious consideration and many facts finding as only few knows the appropriate truth.

Lets see some illustrations;
1.The Spirit is the king of Man, the soul is the steward of man and the Body is the servant. I guess you know the relationship between the King, the Steward and servant in a palace?

2. The Spirit is the current, the Soul is the filament and the body is the bulb in an electric bulb.

It is only with pen and paper that it seems spirit, soul and body is distinct but in reality all of them functions the same time.

Spirit(God consciousness): It consists of the Intuition, Communion and Conscience. The Spirit is the life of man and where the Holy Spirit dwells in a born again Christian. Without it the body becomes lifeless.

Intuition: where God reveals Himself to man and where man knows the things of God.

Communion: fellowship with God.

Conscience: ability to know what is good and bad according to God's standard.

Soul(self consciousness): It consists of the Mind, Will and Emotion. It forms the personality of a man.

Mind: your intellect, knowledge about things, understanding about natural and spiritual things etc.

Will: the ability to decide whether to do something or not.

Emotion: feelings of joy, love,fear etc.

Body(World consciousness): the physical part of man that interacts with the world. It is also called Flesh. It is where the spirit dwells and find expression in man.

This is just a brief summary @Holycity, you will know more and better if you fellowship with God in Truth and in Spirit through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, studying of the Bible and other Spirit inspired books and most especially prayer.

The book Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee will help you know more.

Thanks.

God bless.

They are both one and the same thing! Let's stop confusing ourselves with plenty grammer. There are only two constituents in man: body/flesh and soul (spirit). Soul is a word used to describe the seat of consciousness in man. It is not tangible.

We ain't got no soul
We ain't got no spirit

SheikhMuniru:
From The Islamical And Quranical Angle, Your Spirit belongs to God while Your Soul Belongs To You aftermath... Maywhile, Your body belongs to this world after death

Where the Quranic citation to back up that obnoxious claim

all this nairaland pastor way no dey go church... You're needed

The Spirit of a man is in his blood. The spirit of a man is his very life. The soul of a man is his consciousness.

In the purest form, the difference is that, upon death, the soul awaits judgement and the spirit goes back to God. Of course, off topic, the body, goes back to dust, as in, earth
