Can't help you. You either gots it or you don't gots it. Got it?

Which translates (roughly) to: "I have no bloody clue". Yeah, I got it. You are saying that "soul" is semantically equivalent to "flurfignob" and "bublfip". At least "God" denotes something specific; I don't think I've ever seen a meaningful definition of "soul".

Is the insertion in your sentences of words without meaning a regular habit for you?

I would gather as well that "free will" is also something whose meaning eludes you?

Whether you agree or not, here's a definition for soul. The soul is consciousness of self (whereas the spirit is consciousness of God). The two terms are often interchanged, and I don't see that as a big deal as long as everyone in the conversation has the same understanding of what is meant.
