What do you think is the difference between your Spirit and your soul?

    Believe in the false doctrine of the trinity much??? Genesis states that god created Adam as a living soul not with or having a living soul but as one. If the trinity were real we would be able to split ourself into three different people... The Trinity contradicts itself too much and is never mentioned literally in the scriptures either in thought or in word.

    According to I John 5: 8 it says;

    And there are three that bear witness in Earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and these three agree in one.

    Soul is consciousness, but the spirit is what's inside of our body and by it we move and live, but consciousness is what keeps us alert of our 5 senses. See, hear, taste, smell, and touch.

    It takes some spirit to put some soul into matters.

    Soul is life. It's you. Spirit is the enthusiasm you show toward something. ( a giving spirit, a loving spirit, a hateful spirit, school spirit, godly spirit, etc.)

    I believe the spirit to be that which powers emotions. The soul is you, you are NOT you're body!

    ''We are a spirit being, we live in a body and we possess a soul. The real person inside of us is our spirit. Our soul consists of our mind, will and emotions.''

    Our whole being is our soul. In Genesis was Adam was created, God breathed into him and he became a living soul.

    Our spirit is our life force, when God breathed into Adam, he gave him his life force which is the spirit.

    No difference, since both of those are ancient ignorant superstitions, and not real.

    "I believe..."

    You do realize that your belief is based on ancient ignorance (people who didn't know anything about living things, and so imagined that they had to work by magic), and has NO supporting evidence of any kind, don't you?

    'spirit' = booze.

    'soul' = southern food or music.
