Soul in some definitions is fully human. There's lots of mention (in the bible) of feeding the soul. And even losing the soul to follow Christ (I saw yesterday - must cross check that one(maybe someone else could expand)). Where the spirit is part of God (God being father son and spirit) and our likeness to him. Our spirit can be empty (denial of God) or open to it. As I understand.
The Christian premise is that God is provable via logic. Necessarily pertaining to the personal.
Thanks for clearing that up, it's hard to debate if I don't have my vocabulary straight
But frankly, I think both spirit and soul in that case is a load of bollocks, but that is really just my opinion. If I had proof of anything concerning this matter, I wouldn't be in the philosophy forum wondering about it. But unfortunately, as you might guess, the Bible doesn't count as evidence in my books. I'm very source critical 
God and logic would also make for a very nice debate, but I'll try to keep to the original topic, so maybe another time(?)
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
