Soul or Spirit?

Does anybody know the difference between your soul and spirit? As a believer, I didn't for years. There is a difference. When you look up in the dictionary the word 'soul', you find this...
The animating and vital principle in humans, credited with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived as an immaterial entity
Your 'thought' is your mind, action would be your 'will', and 'emotion' is just what it says, your 'emotions'. Your soul is your "mind, will, and emotions".

We are made up of three parts. Our physical body, our soul (mind,will, and emotions) and our spirit. Our spirit is that part which is our true life (that force or principle of life that animates the body of living things). This is the life that God breathed into each of us and when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He deposits His 'Holy Spirit' into our 'spirit'.

Knowing the difference between 'soul' and 'spirit' helps a bunch in understanding the Bible and how they work.

Is God imaginary? Does He have a plan for us?

God has a plan but He also gave us "free will"(a choice). The devil has a plan too. God, being the gentleman and loving Father that He is doesn't move(doesn't make you do what He wants) but waits for us to make a choice. And sometimes our choices get us in trouble but He's there. Yes....You have to look for Him and have that little bit of faith...you know that mustard seed kind of faith that you hear about so often? But wow! When you do, you know He's been there! No mistake. Too many things happen when you follow His prompting that proves it. Sorta like the wind. Can't see it but you see what happened after it came!Is God imaginary? No,God is not imaginary,just invisible to the naked carnal, non-believing eye!
