They are different, Spirit is of course the Spirit of man, Soul is the Body and the spirit together.

People sometimes assume that because there are two words relating to something, they must have two somewhat different meanings. This isn't true. Two different words can mean exactly the same thing. "Always" and "forever" are synonyms, and mean the same thing. A dictionary can confirm this for you.

I believe it is one in the same.  It's like Toe-May-Toe vs Toe-MAH-Toe.  No difference, just what you prefer to call it.  I think more of the old school belief system calls it a soul. To call it your astral body is to view the soul with a more energetic anatomy....take away the body, and you have an energy "tube", complete with Chakras and Nadis...this is our core.  This tube and Nadis (energy lines of force) is what connects us to "All That Is"

The soul according to many religious and philosophical traditions, is the ethereal substance — spirit (Hebrew:rooah or nefesh) — particular to a unique living being. Such traditions often consider the soul both immortal and innately aware of its immortal nature, as well as the true basis for sentience in each living being.

A soul is a living person. The spirit is the force of life that keeps a soul alive.\n\n"And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul."--Genesis 2:7\n\nNotice it does not say "the man came to have a soul" but he BECAME A LIVING SOUL. And what happens to that soul when we die?\n\nIt Dies. "The soul that sins will die"--Ezekiel 18:4, 20.

There is no meaning to soul according to science. But by putting things together we can deduce that to be our inner thought.

I believe the spirit is the fuel of life from God. The mind exists if the brain works. The soul is yourself which only exist if you mind exists. Without the spirit though, nothing exists.

There are only two entities in the Universe, one is Consciousness and the other is Energy...but this energy too is self conscious\n\nIn us our body, mind, intelliegence and ego all are creation of the Energy....the Soul in us is pure consciousness and this soul is common to all.

There's no difference, one is just a synonym for the other. :)\n\nI could've been smart and said, a spirit is something you find in the liquor aisle of your local grocery store and a ghost is a white sheet that floats around with two holes in it :D, but I am not like that I am nice to people :D

In the Bible,"soul" is translated from the Hebrew ne'phesh and the Greek psy khe'.Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys.To many persons,however,"soul" means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body.Others understand it to be the principle of life.But these latter views are not Bible teachings.\n\n"The concept of immortality is a product of Greek thinking,whereas the hope of a resurrection belongs to Jewish thought....Following Alexander's conquests Judaism gradually absorbed Greek concepts."- Dictionnaire Encyclopedique de la Bible (Valence,France;1935),edited by Alexandre Westphal,Vol 2 p. 557.\n"Immortality of the soul is a Greek notion formed in ancient mystery cults and elaborated by the philosopher Plato."-Presbyterian Life,May 1,1970,p.35.

I think the word spiritual comes from spirit. It's originally from the Latin "Espiritu."

The Soul According to the Bible:\n\nThe Hebrew word translated “soul” is ne´phesh, and it occurs 754 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. What does ne´phesh mean? According to The Dictionary of Bible and Religion, it “usually refers to the entire living being, to the whole individual.” This is borne out by the Bible’s description of the soul at Genesis 2:7: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” Note that the first man “came to be” a soul. That is to say, Adam did not have a soul; he was a soul—just as someone who becomes a doctor is a doctor. The word “soul,” then, here describes the whole person.\n\nThe word translated “soul” (psy·khe´) appears more than a hundred times in the Christian Greek Scriptures. Like ne´phesh this word often refers to the whole person. For example, consider the following statements: “My soul is troubled.” (John 12:27) “Fear began to fall upon every soul.” (Acts 2:43) “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities.” (Romans 13:1) “Speak consolingly to the depressed souls.” (1 Thessalonians 5:14) “A few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” (1 Peter 3:20) Clearly, psy·khe´, like ne´phesh, refers to the whole person. According to scholar Nigel Turner, this word “signifies what is characteristically human, the self, the material body having God’s rûah [spirit] breathed into it. . . . The emphasis is on the whole self.”\n\nin the Bible the word “soul” applies not only to humans but also to animals. For example, in describing the creation of sea creatures, Genesis 1:20 says that God commanded: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls.” And on the next creative day, God said: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.”—Genesis 1:24; compare Numbers 31:28.\n\n, the word “soul” as used in the Bible refers to a person or an animal or to the life that a person or an animal enjoys. (See box above.) The Bible’s definition of the soul is simple, consistent, and unencumbered by the complicated philosophies and superstitions of men. That being the case, the urgent question that must be asked is, According to the Bible, what happens to the soul at death?\n\nThe Dead Are Unconscious:\n\nThe condition of the dead is made clear at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, where we read: “The dead know nothing . . . There is no pursuit, no plan, no knowledge or intelligence, within the grave.” (Moffatt) Death, therefore, is a state of nonexistence. The psalmist wrote that when a person dies, “he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.” (Psalm 146:4) The dead are unconscious, inactive.\n\n When pronouncing sentence upon Adam, God stated: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) Before God formed him from the dust of the ground and gave him life, Adam did not exist. When he died, he returned to that state. His punishment was death—not a transfer to another realm. What, then, happened to his soul? Since in the Bible the word “soul” often simply refers to a person, when we say that Adam died, we are saying that the soul named Adam died. This might sound unusual to a person who believes in the immortality of the soul. However, the Bible states: “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) Leviticus 21:1 speaks of “a deceased soul” (a “corpse,” The Jerusalem Bible). And Nazirites were told not to come near “any dead soul” (“a dead body,” Lamsa).—Numbers

Spirit body and soul.\n\nDEATH AND HELL\n\nPsa.23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the SHADOW of death, I will fear no evil: for\nThou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.\n\nFlesh death of the body is a SHADOW of death, a silhouette or likeness of the second death.\n\nHeb.9:27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but after this the judgment:\n\nIf you are already dead why then after this the judgment?\n\nMatt.10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather\nfear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.\n\nFear (revere) God Who can destroy both soul and spiritual body, that is second death.\n\nI Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and\nthere is a spiritual body.\n\nThere is a flesh body and a spiritual body.\n\nII Cor.5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: II Cor.5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) II Cor.5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.\n\nAbsent from the flesh body, present with the Lord.\n\nEcc.12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. \n\nThe rest of the dead, that is mortal souls, missed the first resurrection, that is immortality, until the thousand years are finished.\n\nRev 20:6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. \n\nA thousand years, a time of teaching by those who had part in the first resurrection.\n\nRev.20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev.20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which wer
