The differences between Soul and Spirit, AND what are your thoughts?

Question

When God thinks, he thinks kids, all he ever wanted was a family.

The Souls of people are the thoughts of God.

When God breathes into his thoughts they become spirits, and God is Spirit, God sends them on their way, to be born and become a redeem person.

When God breathes things start living, God inhales life comes back to him.

Seriously think about it, And some feed back of thought?

Answer 1

Profound insight.

I simply believe the real us is a spirit being, and we have or possess a soul, which is our intellect(mind/ thought-life), will, and emotions. and we live in a physical body.

God is simply a Spirit. And God is Holy. Holiness and Love comprise His nature.

We are like God in that, we are his adopted children; in that we too are a spirit, and have a soul(intellect/thought-life, will and emotions) as God does.

Good Question. Have a great day.

P.S. - RAC, read his answer again, he believes the teachings of Joseph Smith, of the LDS Church, the Mormons. This is exactly what they teach according to the book of Mormon, "Doctrines and Covenants" and the Pearl of great price.
Now we all most definately know what the mormons and there church teaches concerning this, all according to Joseph Smith (the founder of the Mormon church and faith).

You received some very interesting answers, didn't you ?

Answer 2

Spirit = the Breath of God.
Soul = Breath of God + Body

God breathed (Spirit) into Adam, and Adam BECAME a living soul. (He didn't RECEIVE a soul.)

When you read the headlines for the Titanic, it says, "1500 souls perish". It doesn't mean that those people were ghosts before they died. A living human being is a soul. When a person dies, the non-conscious Breath of God goes back to Him and we are left with the inanimate Body, which returns to dust. The "soul" now dissappears. Think of it like a light bulb represents the body, and the electricity represents the spirit, or breath, of God. The light that is produced is the "soul". Where does the light go when you turn off the light? It disappears.
God's Breath is no more conscious than our own breath. Therefore, when people die, they do not become ghosts. What people think are ghosts in this world are actually demons, fallen angels, masquerading as dead people. They know everything there is to know about that person, and they lead people astray.
When Christ returns, He will return His Breath to those who have died in Him, and they will once again become a living soul.

Answer 3

.Hi, God created us with both a body and a soul, the body is the outward flesh and bones of the soul,Before the sin of Adam and Eve their bodies were made to never experience death or decay.
the soul of Adam and Eve however were of essence of God that can never die and lives for all eternity.

since the sin of our first parents has passed down all generations our bodies have become mortal and are perishable but the soul is still immortal.
the soul and the body both need the sustaining love of the Holy Spirit to function to serve God and without the Holy Spirit the soul is starved and weakened,and the body runs down, so the soul and the spirit are essentially the same entity.

Answer 4

Spirit matter has been in existence from the beginning. It is real matter, but more refined or perfect than the matter we are familiar with so that it cannot be descerned by mortal senses. God organized that spirit matter into living, intelligent beings, including all mankind. We were with the Father in spirit existence prior to our mortal births. The Father is a corporal being of perfected body and spirit. The body and spirit, inseparably connected is the soul of mankind. So we speak of our bodies and our spirits. They will be separated by mortal death and reunited at the resurrection. That eternal state of body and spirit restored to its proper and perfect form constituted the soul. Most of the time, we think of the spirit as the soul but actually it is the connection of the two that creates the soul of man. At death, our spirits return to the Father to await the resurrection, some to rest from their mortal cares and some to unrest for their mortal misdeeds.

Answer 5

That is a good way to think about it. Spirit and souls can be termed the same- as the energy that we are made of with our thoughts and memories connected. Also, we are all of God which means we are all God. It is a circle of life that we come from him and our journey is back to the oneness of him. We as souls all make up God, he experiences things through us (thought). We are all brothers and sisters at the soul level and should treat each other as we would like to be treated.

Answer 6

Spirit:

In Psychology, "spirit" is used (with the adjective "spiritual") to denote all that belongs to our higher life of reason, art, morality, and religion as contrasted with the life of mere sense-perception and passion. The latter is intrinsically dependent on matter and conditioned by its laws; the former is characterized by freedom or the power of self-determination; "spirit" in this sense is essentially personal. Hegelianism, indeed, in its doctrines of Subjective, Objective, and Absolute Spirit, tries to maintain the categories of spiritual philosophy (freedom, self-consciousness and the like), in a Monistic framework. But such conceptions demand the recognition of individual personality as an ultimate fact.

In Theology, the uses of the word are various. In the New Testament, it signifies sometimes the soul of man (generally its highest part, e. g., "the spirit is willing"), sometimes the supernatural action of God in man, sometimes the Holy Ghost ("the Spirit of Truth Whom the world cannot receive"). The use of this term to signify the supernatural life of grace is the explanation of St. Paul's language about the spiritual and the carnal man and his enumeration of the three elements, spirit, soul, and body, which gave occasion to the error of the Trichotomists (1 Thessalonians 5:23, Ephesians 4:23).

Soul:

The question of the reality of the soul and its distinction from the body is among the most important problems of philosophy, for with it is bound up the doctrine of a future life. Various theories as to the nature of the soul have claimed to be reconcilable with the tenet of immortality, but it is a sure instinct that leads us to suspect every attack on the substantiality or spirituality of the soul as an assault on the belief in existence after death. The soul may be defined as the ultimate internal principle by which we think, feel, and will, and by which our bodies are animated. The term "mind" usually denotes this principle as the subject of our conscious states, while "soul" denotes the source of our vegetative activities as well. That our vital activities proceed from a principle capable of subsisting in itself, is the thesis of the substantiality of the soul: that this principle is not itself composite, extended, corporeal, or essentially and intrinsically dependent on the body, is the doctrine of spirituality. If there be a life after death, clearly the agent or subject of our vital activities must be capable of an existence separate from the body. The belief in an animating principle in some sense distinct from the body is an almost inevitable inference from the observed facts of life.


It is the only system consistent with Christian faith, and, we may add, morals, for both Materialism and Monism logically cut away the foundations of these. The foregoing historical sketch will have served also to show another advantage it possesses -- namely, that it is by far the most comprehensive, and at the same time discriminating, syntheseis of whatever is best in rival systems. It recognizes the physical conditions of the soul's activity with the Materialist, and its spiritual aspect with the Idealist, while with the Monist it insists on the vital unity of human life. It enshrines the principles of ancient speculation, and is ready to receive and assimilate the fruits of modern research.

Answer 7

Interesting, poetic, it is deep man. When I think of souls they are red, tormented and referred to as burning in hell. When I think of spirits they are opaque and white, bright and enlightened. The soul is lost the spirit journeys. When I teach, the spirit is the link, the energy within you, that communes with nature and the energy that is the universal everything, God. I will definitely need to pray, meditate, upon this. This is deep. Thank you.

Answer 8

Genesis 2:7 says, "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." In the beginning, God created the figure of a man with the dust of the earth and then breathed into his nostrils "the breath of life." When the breath of life came in contact with man's body, the soul was produced. The soul is the consummation of man's body and his spirit. This is why the Bible calls man "a living soul." This "breath of life" is man's spirit, the source of man's life. The Lord Jesus tells us that "it is the Spirit who gives life" (John 6:63). This breath of life comes from the Creator. Yet we should not confuse this spirit, which is the "breath of life," with the Holy Spirit of God. There is a difference between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit. Romans 8:16 shows us that the spirit of man is different from the Holy Spirit; the two are not the same. "The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God." The word "life" in the expression "the breath of life" is chay; it is plural in number. This tells us that God's breathing produces two lives, a spiritual one and a soulish one. This means that when God's breath of life entered the human body, it became the spirit. At the same time, when this spirit came in contact with the body, it produced the soul. This is the source of the two lives, the spiritual life and the soulish life, within us. But we should make a distinction here: this spirit is not the life of God Himself; it is merely "the breath of the Almighty [which] hath given me life" (Job 33:4). It is not the entrance of the uncreated life of God into man. The spirit that was received in the beginning is not the life of God that we received at the time of our regeneration. The life which we received at the time of our regeneration is the life of God Himself; it is the life represented by the tree of life. This spirit of man is eternal, but it does not have the "eternal life."
