Soul is mind will and emotion. Spirit is Gods essence within us where we connect with and experienceGod. ❤ 12:09

Thank God for He gives us many powers that many unbelievers do not have.

The Spirit is the teacher of our soul when knowledge needed. The Spirit is the comforter of our soul in depression. The Spirit is the reminder of our soul to use the weapon oh the Holy Spirit (the Word of God) in times of doubt, fear and anxiety. The Spirit is the motivation for our soul when intimidated by this fallen world

Forever spirit led. As a child Jesus came to me in repeated dreams, from age 3- my teens. Always the same unusual environment. But, in my memory there is never any sound/audio. But I can see my Father clearly and lovingly speaking with me as a child. Its taken nearly 40 years for revelation on this. On this journey, I've been lost in sin, lost in attacks, lost in darkness, lost in repentance but nothing comes close to being lost for the lover of my soul. Indeed, who can know? Who can understand? Who can forgive? And who provide rebirth? Only God 💛

So when we are young, the Holy Spirit is strong and our soul is fresh and is unburdened. We get caught up in life and we lose some of our contact due to stress and life sets in. We scramble to try to hold it together. Then we start to realize we are missing something. A guiding hand from the Lord. To get back in touch we need to pray to the Holy Spirit to ask the Lord for forgiveness, guidance, understanding, wisdom, Love. Ok, I get where you are coming from... Awesome video. Thank you for helping me bridge the gap of understanding the difference ! God bless you folks...

[sarurita]

I love this, although I have been a christian for 60 plus years and studied the bible my whole life I never understood the difference, thank you so much.

When someone is willfully blind, brazen dismissal of necessary inferences is not only possible, but a matter of course.

It wasn't just that the curtain temple tore. The Talmud records that during the Day of Atonement, they had a tradition of tying a crimson strip of wool to the head of goat which they released, and there was an omen that indicated whether or not their sacrifices were accepted by God and their sins forgiven: the crimson ribbon would turn white. The Talmud records that during the tenure of a high priest called "Simon the Righteous" (Shimon HaTzaddik) this omen consistently happened:

From the Talmud, Yoma 39a:15 (with intercalated explanations in English)

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה שֶׁשִּׁמֵּשׁ שִׁמְעוֹן הַצַּדִּיק, הָיָה גּוֹרָל עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין פְּעָמִים עוֹלֶה בִּשְׂמֹאל. וְהָיָה לָשׁוֹן שֶׁל זְהוֹרִית מַלְבִּין. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים מַלְבִּין פְּעָמִים אֵינוֹ מַלְבִּין. וְהָיָה נֵר מַעֲרָבִי דּוֹלֵק. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים דּוֹלֵק פְּעָמִים כָּבֶה.§
The Sages taught: During all forty years that Shimon HaTzaddik served as High Priest, the lot for God arose in the right hand. From then onward, sometimes it arose in the right hand and sometimes it arose in the left hand. Furthermore, during his tenure as High Priest, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel turned white, indicating that the sins of the people had been forgiven, as it is written: “Though your sins be as crimson, they shall be white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). From then onward, it sometimes turned white and sometimes it did not turn white. Furthermore, the western lamp of the candelabrum would burn continuously as a sign that God’s presence rested upon the nation. From then onward, it sometimes burned and sometimes it went out.

There were several other omens they looked for as indications that God accepted their atonement, as mentioned above: some sort of picking lots at random to see if the marked one ended up in the right hand of the high priest, and also the western lamp burning continuously.

Yet the Talmud indicates that for the 40 years prior to the destruction of the Temple (the period following the crucifixion of Jesus), the crimson wool on the scapegoat never again turn white, nor did the several other omens of successful atonement ever again indicate that God accepted their atonement:

From the Talmud, Yoma 39b:5

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה קוֹדֶם חוּרְבַּן הַבַּיִת לֹא הָיָה גּוֹרָל עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין, וְלֹא הָיָה לָשׁוֹן שֶׁל זְהוֹרִית מַלְבִּין, וְלֹא הָיָה נֵר מַעֲרָבִי דּוֹלֵק.
The Sages taught: During the tenure of Shimon HaTzaddik, the lot for God always arose in the High Priest’s right hand; after his death, it occurred only occasionally; but during the forty years prior to the destruction of the Second Temple, the lot for God did not arise in the High Priest’s right hand at all. So too, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel did not turn white, and the westernmost lamp of the candelabrum did not burn continually.

Think about this.

Caiaphas (and the other plotters) had Jesus crucified, then the Temple curtain tore, and then for the next 40 years until the Temple was destroyed, the very omens that they looked to as confirmation that God accepted their sacrificial atonements stoped indicating that their atonements were accepted. That must be a grim sign to behold. You'd think that after seeing all this, he would think back to that moment when he spoke prophecy, and realize how badly he misinterpreted his own prophecy.

John 11:45-53

[Preceding context: Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead.] 45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they made plans to put him to death.

If you were the high priest, how would you rationalize this? You couldn't. It would simply be denial, especially in light of all the signs that Jesus had performed. God gave Jesus as the atonement for our sins, and no other way was acceptable to him after Jesus made his sacrifice, offering his own blood on the cross. Not only did the Temple curtain tear, but the omens never again indicated that their sacrifices effected any sort of successful atonement from that time on to the point when the Temple was destroyed.

However, even if Caiaphas was stiff-necked to the very end, not all the members of the Sanhedrin were that way. One extremely prominent member of the Sanhedrin, Menachem, who co-led the Sanhedrin with Hillel (you can't get more prominent than that!), abandoned the Sanhedrin to become a believer and follower of Jesus, and he took 80 pairs of disciples with him. Menachem even has a mention in the New Testament: he is mentioned in Acts 13:1 as "Manaen", who was a friend of Herod. The fact that he knew Herod and was a friend of Herod from childhood and had the gift of prophecy were apparently his identifiers.

Dr. Joseph Shulam explains some of what other ancient sources says about this Menachem and what we can infer from this ancient evidence.

Lecture - Joseph Shulam - Heretical Rabbis of the Talmud: Witnesses to the Power of Yeshua's Gospel

It seemed that Menachem confronted what happened, and simply could not rationalize what happened in the Temple after Christ died, and actually did the hardest thing: abandoned his high position as a leader of the Sanhedrin to become a follower of Jesus.

I'm sure Caiaphas witnessed Menachem abandoning his secure and socially prominent position as the co-leader of the Sanhedrin. I'm sure there were serious and impassioned debates in the Sanhedrin over this. And given that Menachem led 80 pairs of disciples with him to become believers in Jesus, I'm sure he made a spirited defense of Jesus as the Messiah, with all the reasoning and evidence he could muster, and evangelized everyone in his hearing. By the time all that was done, Caiaphas had absolutely no good rationalization.

Our spirit is the intellect of our souls.

For the Holy Spirit to dwell into our hearts we must have a humble contrite pure heart. K

Amen, praise God for a hungry spirit, a desire to connect with God always. Without the hungry and thirst, our souls will be separated from God eternally, very interesting video, so informative thank you for sharing 🙏🕊❤️

[annmarieharris]

Ty for blessing us with informative and insightful teaching. 🙏

[janetschubert]

Amen. I agree and accept all b4 you finish speaking.

Here's my take . The soul is our inner being . If we are able to make a connection in our conscious minds with our soul then we know what it knows . Example: what others are thinking, receive warnings of bad things that might happen to keep us safe etc... The spirit is part of the soul and not a separate thing outside of the soul . It is the souls energy, or force if you will, just like in star wars . We can hone and harness and focus this energy to communicate with God, help to heal the sick, fill a room with positive vibes, or do wicked negative things like cast spells .

[byron]

Prayer to the Holy Spirit. Come o Holy Spirit fill our hearts to be humble and contrite, Send forth your Spirit and thou shall renew the face of the Earth. K Our hearts are restless until it rest unto Thee my Lord and my God. St. Augustine Bishop of Hippo 356AD

[ellietobe]

I Thessalonians 5:23 “May the God of peace sanctify you through and through, AND may your spirit, soul, and body be preserved sound and complete and found blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We are made in God’s image. God is spirit and those who worship him must do so in spirit and in truth as it is written. We are spirit beings. Our spirit is knit into the physical body until death. We have a soul which is made up of the mind, will, and emotions. As spirit beings held in a physical body we need the soul as a means of communication with the outside world. The spirit is born anew when we receive new life in Christ, however, the mind must be renewed with the word of God and fellowship with the Spirit of God. If a new believer chooses not to continue to grow spiritually is never taught the things of God that person will remain a spiritual infant. They will continue to remain carnal. Becoming born again is just the beginning of the journey with the Spirit of God. Friendship with the world is enmity with God.

A good explanation with examples of interpretation, well done has been helpful, God bless ❤

The analogy I use is a computer.

The human body is like frame that holds all the parts together so they function properly. The soul is like the hard drive that stores all the necessary information, some would call this also the heart of Mankind. The mind is like the processor, it’s function is to use the information (directives), on the
hard drive to execute what ever tasks are commanded by the hard drive. The spirit is the actual information in the hard drive.

Mankind is born spiritually dead or you could say the information that is pre-loaded is not able to fulfill the tasks required … basically obey the will of God.

When one is “born again” the pre-loaded information is replaced with new directives that command the processor to complete the will of God.

Of course all analogies break down at some point. But I believe it is key to understand that the mind only fulfills the desires of the heart. Fill your heart with a desire to please God and your priorities will change then your choices will change … that is walking in the Spirit.

Hello Sir, our conscience is the soul of the body, the spirit that gives life. We are only a tiny particle of light. Thanks:
