Well I can't really explain it (cuz im not good at it) mind is like  based on intelligence or used for intelligence stuff and soul is like a deep thing inside your body, because a human being consist of a body, spirit and soul, body goes autimatically (when u die) 6 feet below or soil, spirit goes back to God, and soul goes either on Heaven or Hell, i hope my explanation cleared up some things but if its still unclear check the source

They say animals dont got no soul but theyre conscious aint they? Its kind of separated, the study of science and religion I mean. So the soul is in religion and the consciousness is in science. I guess its coz you cant really study the soul scientifically, its up to you to believe in it and most people do. It is almost a fact that we have souls right?

All persons are composed of 3 parts, a body, soul, and a spirit.  The body is what you can see now, the soul is the thinking part of you and your spirit is the part that goes on after the body dies.  The spirit is the part of you that experiences heaven or hell.  Some people think that the soul can be reborn into different bodies.  I haven' t determined what I think yet, I'm just gathering evidence from different sources.  I don't think anyone knows for sure exactly.  I think it may be a blend of everything.  I am sure that we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience.

Personally, I like how C.S. Lewis stated it (I think it was Lewis - if not someone please correct me):  "We don't have souls, we are souls. We have bodies."

In the Old Testament, the soul is the entire individual, his body and mind.\nSpirit is the breath of God, who breathes life into the soul. A life force.\n\nGreek influence on Judaism and Christianity, created a dualism between the body and soul. The soul leaves the body at death. Spirit is sometimes used as the same soul. Deepak Schopa (not spelling that right) makes a distinction between all 3.

Depends on your definition of "soul". According to the Bible, a living being IS A SOUL...not HAS a soul. In Genesis 2:7, it says that Adam BECAME a soul. It goes on to say that even the animals are souls. Psalms, says that "BLOOD" flows in the veins of a soul. The Hebrew word used to apply to both humans and animals was the same word. "nephesh". The word was used 750 times and translated 472 times as soul, and 282 times as spirit, breath or other words. The translators of the King James did this on their own initiative.\n\nIn I Kings 17:17; is says,"And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. The phrase "BREATH" was also the same Hebrew word, nepheshs.\n                                                                      \nEcclesiastes 3:19-20, shows us, "For that which befallen the sons of men befallen beasts; even one thing befallen them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again." Again, the phrase "BREATH" was also the same Hebrew word, nephesh.\n\nAccording to the Biblical definition, a person dies when the lose their "soul" because they are no longer living. In the same sense animals die, they are also no longer a "SOUL".\n\nThe Bible also NEVER states that the nephesh is immortal. Just as our breath and life force cannot live by itself without a body, neither can  the BIBLICAL soul.\n\nScience also agrees with this. When someone dies ... they are dead! The same life force that animates us is the same life force that animates dogs and cats.\n\nBuddhism somewhat agrees with that understanding. According to Buddhism, we have no soul. It is our "life force" that keeps us alive. It is our mind and memory that lives on.

Yes, I do. I mean really, do you know what it took to even ask the question? You have a physical machine called a body that is able to use its mind to ponder the question, relay visual information from a physical world of comparable low-tech computers through the optic nerve, into the brain, with the mind to comprehend the ramifications, then transfer that thought process to an incredibly complex systems of nerves, tendons, and touch to the fingers to type the letters. This then communicates a question of the soul. The soul is something that science cannot a.) explain and b.) create. It can only mimic with unsatisfactory results. That soul is concerned for the existence of an eternal destiny beyond time and space--that there is a world beyond the physical world we see in the here and now. You are an incredible creation who has been given the free will choice to believe, or not believe. A being that can love, write poetry, paint or play works of incredible complexity and beauty. To smell, and taste, enjoy. So, like you, I set out on a path to find my Creator. It is obvious that He exists, but is He personal or an impersonal force? My answer came through the study of prophecy in the Bible. Like the DNA strand and life itself, it was hard to dispute the evidence. Now with the realization of the truth of the Bible, God made it clear that He was not only a personal God, but One who wanted to know ME, and that He knew everything about me--even the number of every hair on my head.  \n\nEphesians 3\n\nFor this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

I think you should try posting in the philosophy section or spirituality next time.\n\nHow big is the soul.\n\nWell, hopefully bigger than the body and more durable. But it seems like the universe "the container" for all matter, and the soul, the container for everything spiritual would be of a different quality. \n\nI think the soul is bigger.  Imagine being condemned to live forever without a soul? It's hard enough trying to get through a Sunday afternoon.

Soul is an old term for the psyche.  Spirit is the correct term and yes animals do have one.

You are what u think thats why, U think what you are.\n\nSoul: Mind, Intellect and Personality\nEvery soul has three separate faculties which are inherent in all human beings irrespective of place of birth. Just as electrical energy produces warmth, sound or light depending on the device through which it passes, similarly, the energy of consciousness functions through three different but closely connected faculties, referred to respectively by the terms mind, intellect, and personality.\n\nThe Mind\nWith the power of the mind, one imagines, thinks and forms ideas. Thoughts are created in the mind. The thought process is the basis of all emotions, desires and sensations. It is through the minds that, in an instant, thoughts reach anywhere, a memory can be relived and the feeling of happiness or sadness is experienced. The metaphysical mind should not be confused with the heart, the physical organ that maintains blood circulation

I read something about this a long time ago.\nIf I remember correctly.??\nWe all have a group of souls that we are the most connected with.   \nOutside of that small group is a larger group of souls that we are very connected with.   \nOutside of that group is an even larger group of souls that we are somewhat connected with.    (on and on...)\n\nThe soul family are the ones we are the most connected to for various reasons.   Life lessons or help when we need it. Spouses, parents, children, siblings. friends, and strangers on the street.   We know them when we see them.   Some are in our lives for a short time....some for a long time.   There is a sense of familiarity upon meeting the person and a strong remembrance of them when they are gone.\n\nI think that's what I read, and I liked the concept.\n\nI hope you get better answers....I will read them.  \n\nThis is a fabulous question!
