Is there a difference between my soul and my spirit?
This is a somewhat difficult question. The Bible does not clearly define that there is a difference between a person's soul and spirit. It seems that the terms are used synonymously at times, as in Luke 1:46-47. In other instances, "soul" is used to describe man's basic worldly functions, and "spirit" is used when talking about his spiritual relationship with God. This is shown in 1 Corinthians 2:14-3:4.
It seems that man is likely made up of three distinct parts: body, soul, and spirit. The body is made up of flesh and can be touched. The soul forms the basic thought patterns and directs one's functions. The spirit is in direct relationship with the Lord.
