"SOUL AND SPIRIT"

What is the difference between soul and spirit? Are they not the same?
Where did you “dig” that question from?
Now days, people are not interested in spiritual things, much less in
something related with the soul. Believe it or not people come to this
world and left it without knowing for sure we have a soul and spirit!
It is a question every human being should know the answer.
That is why they are so many crimes because people do not know or
don’t want to know what these are!
All right! All right! Are you going to tell me?
I‘ll be glad to tell you my friend: I am not a scientist to give you fancy
words to explain it, but I think it won’t be necessary, here we go:
Before we were born as you know they are nine months of pregnancy,
time in which a fetus, completes the cycle necessary for the formation
of the new being, after this period of time, the baby is taken out of Its
mother’s womb, starts breathing and we say: A new baby has being born!
What does this has to do with my question?
Wait a minute! Let me explain you something so you could understand it!
In the period of gestation, we say that the baby has no life, however, this is very far from the truth, and I tell you why: SPIRIT MEANS BREATH.
So life begins when the baby starts breathing right?
Let’s see:
Genesis 2-7 says: “And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became
a living soul” God is Spirit, we are matter! We receive the spirit of life
when we start breathing, and when we stop breathing we give it back
to God. But our soul remains conscious of all but without a body!
What is the soul?
The soul is the individuality of a person, there are no two alike!
The soul is our mind, our intelligence, our thinking capabilities, our consciousness, our power of choice, the knowledge of our existence!
Things that our body does not have!
God put in every soul ETERNITY, AND INDESTRUCTIBILITY!

The Bible says: “And I say unto you my friends, be not afraid of them that
Kill the body and after that have no more they can do, but I fore warn you
Whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he had kill hath power to cast
into hell, yea, I say unto you, Fear him.” Luke 12:4.
Our soul is in us at the precise instant of conception! Not at birth!
The spirit of life (Breath) begins at birth but before the newborn starts
breathing his heart is ticking, hid head and his members are moving, his
ears are listening, his senses are awake! HE IS ALIVE!
Then, when the body receives the spirit of life from God, starts breathing!
When man stops breathing : Man dies! But his soul remains alive!

God created the human being to live forever! But because of sin, say the
Bible, death came to the world!
God changed the eternity of man to a few years compared with eternity!
But He did not change his soul! His Soul remained for Judgment!
Our soul is indestructible! Only God can destroy it in hell!
How negative you are! Is that all we can expect after life?
No! It is not! They are also a positive side:
God sent his only Son to give our souls the opportunity of redemption,
and a place to rest forever in God’s dwelling place called: Paradise.
God is our positive side!
Our opportunity to convert all our negative things
into positive ones!
Are you ready?

PRAISE THE LORD!
