Answer 3

First Thessalonians 5:23 makes it very clear: “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” The word “soul” is defined by some as the mind, will, and emotions. While that’s certainly true, it’s incomplete. The “conscience” should also be included in that definition. The soul is really what most people call the “personality.” You can feel both your body and your soul and are receiving information from them all the time. For example, if I put my hand on your shoulder, you would know that I touched you. I could also make you feel happy or sad, or even hurt you without any physically contact, simply by the words I speak. Those words are processed by your mind, and the result of their effect is often expressed in your emotions. It’s easy to know how your body feels, what’s going on in your mind, and what emotions you’re experiencing. However, your spirit is much different. It cannot be accessed in any natural way. If you want to know what your spirit is like, you must find out from the Word, not rely on emotions or other perceptions. God’s Word is spirit and life! When you look at your face in a mirror, you aren’t really seeing yourself; you’re viewing a reflection. Even though it’s only a reflection, you have learned to trust it and act on what you see. God’s Word is just like that mirror: it reflects perfectly who you are in the spirit. Add: I just received this email from some one. I though it is relevant to your question. I will post here for every one to read. "Your mind, as a mental faculty, entertains thought from two sources, the senses (including memories), or the spirit. Spirit knowledge comes from within, while your senses only relate to your external environment. Our thoughts feed our feelings. Perception makes the difference. Spirit knowledge is realised through resonance and faith. Faith is to your spirit what your senses are to your body. Faith perceives reality beyond the horizon of the senses. The Greek word, to understand, sunieimi, means a joint-knowledge; a flowing together as of two streams. The word for conscience, suneido from sun + eido, to see together. Because man is the God-kind, we are in essence faith compatible. God would be wasting His words if this was not true. “The seeing eye and the hearing ear, the Lord has made them both.″ Francois du Toit
