Do they mean the same thing?
Does their meaning's differ?
Or does Mind and soul have the same meaning? Then spirit differ's from both of them??

After watching Nigeria's Match on friday,i saw some people having a very serious argument about this topic.Some said the Soul is the mind,others said the soul is the spirit.
I couldn't join in the argument because i had no answer to offer them.
So i've decided to ask Nairaland members, "Are they the same thing" or "Are they different".

The Difference between the SPIRIT,SOUL AND BODY
The Bible clearly teaches that we are made up of three components---the spirit,soul and body.1 Thessalonians 5:23.
The spirit is the reaal master,Lord and the main engine of the human being.It is divided into 3 parts--the intuition,the conscience and the fellowship.
The soul is simply the in-between,like a middleman or match maker that stands in-between the groom and bride.The soul is also divided into 3 parts--the mind,emotion and will.
While the body is just a container that holds the spirit and help the body to express itself.The body on its own has 5 main parts/or which we generally call the sense organs--smelling(nose),seeing(eyes),touch(skin,body),tasting(tongue) and finally hearing(ears).
The spirit is just like a bottle/container that holds the spirit which is invisible and intangible.While,the soul help the spirit to express itself through any of the emotions.All human being have been separated from the life of God until they give their lives to Jesus,when the dead/inactivated spirit inside them will now be activate to hear and operate in the spirit realm.If you are not a born again christian,you have no access or ATM CARD to get into the spirit realm either to talk to God or to know what is going on the spirit realm.
