A spirit is that which takes up no space and is not made up of parts. It uses the faculties of intellect and will. A soul is that which animates the body. Anything that can move by itself has a soul. Humans have a soul that is also a spirit. We have bodies that move and have an intellect and will. Angels are only spirits. They don't have bodies.

Spirit acquires a transferred experience, turning out to be an alternate choice to the interest soul. The observe spirit could have an extremely extensive which ability. it incredibly is derived from the Latin observe 'spiritus', which ability a breath. Then because of the fact the soul of guy is as invisible to actual eyes as a breath, and additionally because of the fact its presence is manifested via the respiratory of a residing physique, the interest spirit won a transferred experience, turning out to be an alternate choice to the interest soul. If then we intend via the interest spirit the thought of existence in a guy, that concept which permits him to stay, to understand and to love, to be chuffed or to be sorrowful, then the spirit is the soul. And in a added experience, because of the fact a guy's inclinations depend upon his soul, we use the interest spirit for character, and for that reason communicate of a guy's spirit. yet that's in basic terms the soul, manifesting itself in a guy's exterior habit.

The Soul is defined as the Mind,Will and Emotions. The brain being the conduit by which it is both realized and channeled
The Spirit is also refered to as the heart(spiritual),the inner person or real you(essence) and is regenerated by the Holy Spirit upon the point of re-birth..The human spirit is the vehicle by which we communicate with GOD.

The soul is the life-force. It's what gives your body life. The spirit is the "essence" that makes you who you are. This is what "travels" to the netherworld.
I'm not Christian, but since much of what Christianity is based on is Paganism, maybe this will help.

Soul is like a drop of water taken from the ocean of spirit.

spirit has no flesh & bones.
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Soul is the totally of our being. It contains the spirit.
Genesis 2:7 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.

Man was created a triune being, spirit, soul, and body
we are Spirit being, we live in a body, and have a soul.
the body is our physical body.
the soul is our consciensciousness, our mind, our physical knowledge.
the spirit is who we are, that being that is able to connect to God.
we were meant to be spiritual beings with a soul, and a body.
and the Spirit was to have dominion over the soul(mind) and the body.
but with the sin of Adam, and Eve, the spirit lost contact with God, and the mind or soul, was left to have control, but it was heavily influenced but the body, with it carnal desires.

The spirit is an individual. Soul is a family.

I think the soul, is what we are. The spirit is more about how we are. The body is where, and when we are. The mind asks why we are...
