Bible Question:
Whats the difference between a soul and a spirit? They seem the same to me. Thanks, Isa |
Bible Answer: OK, I'm not an expert, going on what I've had taught here. Sometimes soul and spirit are used interchangeably but sometimes they are not. Your spirit is your inner you that lives on forever, it is what has to get reborn. Your soul is your mind, will and emotions, it is what has to be retrained or brought under submission. Romans 12 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. This refers to your mind or the soulish realm, it is where you think and feel at. Your spirit gets reborn but your soul does not. If you think a certain way, you have to work or train yourself to think different, you bring it into submission-understand? There are many scriptures that they are used interchangeably, but many that are separate, I don't know the original language words so someone who does will have to do a research there but a few passages where they are used separately are: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 1 Thessalonians 5 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24 Blessing and Admonition Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4:12 Hebrews 4 Hebrews 4:11-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |
