Is there a difference between spirit and soul? Or are spirit and soul the same? Spirit, soul, ghost, phantom, etc., are all the same. |

No they're not the same. Soul is a very good thing if you've ever listened to James Brown or Ray Charles. Spirits on the other hand are very bad according to most horror movies.

Is there a difference between spirit and soul? Or are spirit and soul the same? If you want the Bible’s view, the spirit (Hebrew, ‘ruach’; Greek, ‘pneuma’) in us is our life force; it keeps us breathing, like electricity that keeps a light bulb shining. When we die, it “goes out”. — Psalm 146:3,4. The soul (Hebrew, ‘nephesh’; Greek, ‘psyche’) is us: our person. According to the Bible, we don’t ‘have’ a soul.....we are souls. — Genesis 2:7, “.....and the man came to be a living soul.” Ezekiel 18:4 tells us the soul dies, because of sin. That’s the same reason why men die, because of sin. — Romans 5:12 So a person is a soul. That idea is consistent throughout the Bible. |

Soul is the flame, Spirit is how much gas you use.

Is there a difference between spirit and soul? Or are spirit and soul the same? Spirit: that invisible driving force that endows you with “life”, and makes you “go”. Think of spirit as “energy” or “life force”. In a religious aspect, God grants anything living with spirit. Conversely, anything that is dead loses its spirit (it returns to God). That’s why God and angels are considered to be “spiritual beings”, because they represent life. From a non-religious perspective, anything that provides positive “energy” to a person (food, water, peace, love, sex, drugs, music, etc) can be spiritual. A battery provides spirit to a cell phone or a car. Soul: that inner quality of “self” that makes you a unique individual, and more than the sum of your parts. Soul provides you with “self-awareness”, “will”, and “emotion”. Any living being (spiritual being, human being, intelligent animal, etc) which exhibits these things has a soul. While the word soul has religious connotations, it can be use synonymously and interchangeably with “consciousness” for a non-religious perspective. Both a dog and a tree have spirit (because they are alive). But only the dog has a soul (because it can think, feel, and make decisions). Long story short: spirit = energy, soul = person. |

Funny. All the theologians I've listened to have said the opposite of what the consensus here is. So, I'm confused. I was told by pastors, and read in books, that the soul was the temporary bit of spark, and the spirit was the "meter reader" which is us, so to speak. That the soul was more material and noun, and the spirit more verb.
Now, I'm reading different here, so I don't know. I do know that when most people refer to the "soul", they do refer to the "meter reader", or "meter reading verb" essence. And that is molded obviously by our experience in this existence. Whether one calls it a "soul" or "spirit", the end result is that when finished in this existence, it's function is going to be a part of either the holy Ghost or the material desires of flesh, the latter of which would make one a slave of a hateful entity. Only a fool would deny that, even if one isn't Christian.

I generally perceive the former as a state of mind rather than a non-corporeal entity.
