[Sons to Glory!]

I know you've asked about the practicality of knowing that the soul & spirit are different several times, but it is the other thing I'd suggest setting aside for now regarding this thread's direction. This was sort a result of you first asking that we set aside the question of the indwelling Christ, since you thought it would just get us further off track, right? So my suggestion to shelve the practicality issue was essentially like-minded, in order to better keep us on track and more narrowly focused.

What I did have in mind (in my attempt to reboot this thread) is presenting verses which demonstrate that we do have a spirit that is something different from our soul. But I'm getting mixed-messages here, because you said, "Nobody here is making the argument that the soul and the human spirit are the very same thing."

So is it a foregone conclusion that everyone here believes the soul and spirit are different? If that's the case, then presenting verses to support that conclusion is probably a wasted effort.
