    sorry i think it would better for me to ask
    what is the function of each of these
    For example which of these is responsible for the conscience

    sorry about the strange wording

    Clearly there is a difference between all three as stated in Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit..."
    My understanding is that the soul is our instinct, drives, emotions/feelings.
    The body is obvious, ones physical being
    The spirit is the relationship between us and God……..this is what differentiates us from animals because they have souls but no spirit
