Spirit or soul? Or both?
Apparently there's no difference if using the definition:

soul
/sōl/

Learn to pronounce

See definitions in:

popular music
noun
noun: soul; plural noun: souls
1.
the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.

We should reword the question to; how does the soul/spirit survive death?

I've often wondered this myself. Where does it reside. How does it manifest itself upon death?

Im not sure if they're the same thing but we will go with it...

In the early 20th century Dr. Duncan MacDougall concluded that the human soul weighs about 21 grams after conducting his experiment.
He conducted another experiment in which he concluded that dogs have no soul...

Then he died and science ignored the topic until recently... It has been a topic in philosophy for a while, it's referred to as our "consciousness".
Science also refers to our soul as our "consciousness"...

More recently, Dr. Sam Parnia has been involved in the biggest ever study of death... He has interviewed thousands of people who have literally come back from the dead through cardiac arrest... Parnia has concluded that our soul lives on after we die... As Christians, we know that, but it rarely gets discussed cos I don't think anyone really knows much about it.

But if anyone is interested I highly recommend listening to Dr. Sam Parnia

I think I might know what this topic is about. Studies say that even after you die your brain doesn't right away.





Ok so that's what you were talking about...
Im actually talking about our soul that lives on... Where is it? How does it leave our body?

Check this out...

Rather interesting,.. but I do believe animals have souls.



@April_Rose And then watch this


There are other videos of Dr. Sam Parnia explaining this if your more interested.





Sounds like the story of the kid from Heaven Is For Real who went to Heaven and back.

if memories are in our brain, and the brain dies at death, we get judged in the next life, do we know what we are being judged for?
