"Why not bring the meat back to life?"

So, what is the difference between soul and spirit? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some Christians (including myself) see it like this:

The soul is what makes the body alive. The soul is our personality, our consciousness, our self-awareness, our mind. There is nothing supernatural about the soul, and atheists should have no problems believing in the existence of the human soul.

The spirit, on the other hand, is God's seed in us. It is the spirit that makes us God-like creatures. The spirit is our connection to God. The spirit is something supernatural. Romans 8:16 talks about a link between the Holy Spirit and our spirit.

If you will permit an oversimplification: Plants have bodies; animals have bodies and souls; humans have bodies, souls, and spirits. --Oz1cz (talk) 15:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
