"You seem to be shying away from the word "SPIRIT".. What do you think is the difference between Soul and Spirit.. or IS there a difference?.."
I can assure you, I am not shying away from the word "spirit" at all. I said it several times at the Divine Liturgy this morning. In Greek we use different words for these. The word for "spirit" is πνευμα while the word for "soul" is ψυχη. The word πνευμα is almost always used in the phrase "Αγιω Πνευματι", to the Holy Spirit. We do very occassionally use the words πνευμα or πνευματι otherwise, but not really to mean "soul". That word is virtually always ψυχη. Thus we say "ψυχοσωματικος" not "πνευμοσωματικος" when describing the nature of man from a religious point of view.

So then; you have no idea of what spirit/Spirit is?..
