[Nabucodonosor]

What you guys think about your spirits and souls?

[pale_existence]

I think that our souls are what make us and our spirits are what keep us going. I'll get into this more when I'm not half dead.

[Valkyrja]

Nabucodonosor, you avatar kills me!

[Eve-want-to-believe]

I think spirit is the action and soul is the character of the human

short and sweet. sounds like it's out of some poem/wishes book.

[pasiphae9]

Soul is our essence, and spirit is a product of that essence, methinks.

[tory]

Soul is a half of human...... soul is immortal.
The flesh is aging, but the soul always stays young

[-H-]

I believe soul and spirit share the same region of space, I can't see them as different entities. It's a part of us which settles our decisions, and makes us come back whenever we are pushing the limits of morality.
And you, what do you think?

[SoulSearcher]

I´d like to talk about Souls.

[Angeltears]

Something we can not possibly comprehend

haha. You never know, it may be in one, somewhere.

I do believe that it is definitely our souls which make us who we are and eventually draw us to our soulmates(not just that of the romantic kind) and destiny and fun stuff like that. Our spirits guide us when we are lost, keep us going. But spirits may be broken ... which sucks.

The beat of your heart is the rhythm of your soul.

[Karim]

The soul is the idea of the part of a person that is not physical. In real life this is called the personality. The spirit is the actual energy of which the soul is comprised. In real life this consists of blood, hormones, and electricity.

Woah Nabucabonosar 25 cent question
The Spirit and the Soul is a very personal belief usually guided by individual faith.

Nephesh is Hebrew for "soul" it appears 750 times in the old testament
Gen 2:7 Man became a living soul
Deuteronomy 12:23 The blood is the soul. The soul is integral to life itself
In the old testament the soul stands for the living. A soul can be alive, grieve, worry, rejoice, peaceful, hate and die

The "spirit" in the old testament is Ruach in Hebrew. It appears 375 times
Mostly it means The Spirit of God or the spirit of individuals
It's the inspiration and motivational drive in a person's psyche. A person that is spiritually alive is filled with the holy spirit. A person can be spiritually dead
Isaiah 57:15 a spirit can be broken
Numbers 11:17 "The Spirit of Wisdom" is divine inspiration such as to the prophets

In the New Testament the soul and spirit transcend

Peter1 3:18 the Spirit and Flesh are seperate . The flesh is the way of Sin and the Spirit
is the new way of life to commune with God."when the flesh dies the spirit of God makes alive"

*I've witnessed death and the experience left a lasting impression that reaffirmed not only my
own faith but that of those that were with me.
Argueably, any religion will have it's own version of the soul and the spirit
and what happens to a persons soul after death.


A favorite quote:

The soul takes flight into a world that is invisible yet eternal but there arriving it is sure of bliss
~Plato

Nabucodonosor, you avatar kills me!

In a good way or in a bad way?
If you like it, you can have
I'll change it.


I agree with you, Blue Horizon about the soul and spirit.




P.S.
HEY GUYS, HOW ABOUT IF WE ASK THE MODS TO ERASE ALL THE ANSWERS TO THE THREADS AT PURGATORY AND WE WON'T POST ANYTHING UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY ANSWER AT LEAST ONE THREAD?

[Nossing]

Everytime I see the title of the thread I think of booze. What does that say about my soul?

It means your soul is Karen Walker.

That's ok then. If it goes hand in hand with her sense of humor.

Aristotle defined the soul as being the essence of a being but argued against it's seperate exsistence.
'If a knife had a soul, the act of cutting would be that soul, because 'cutting' is the essence of what it is to be a knife' - Aristotle[i]

Unlike the concept of souls, which are by definition eternal and usually believed to preexist the body, a spirit develops and grows as an integral aspect of the living being, therefore the spirit could be considered a seperate exsistence to that of the pre-existing or eternal soul because belief in souls is specific.
