I hope this will be interesting.
Recent posts have prompted this. When we die, what happens to our soul? what happens to our Spirit? are our soul and Spirit the same thing? Do they leave our body together and 'go to be with the Lord'? or do they do something else? how are they connected, if they are not the same? Do they, either together or separately, have a cognitive existence after the death of the body?
Personally I feel led to say from the start I don't think it matters in the scheme of things, what happens will happen and when it does I feel that the life we have led will dictate everything from that point on.
I also understand through reading the Word, personally knowing Jesus and accepting His Holy Spirit, that My soul will die and await the resurrection, when it will be raised with my body and hopefully be changed to an incorruptible me to spend eternity with Jesus. The Spirit that Jesus left here on earth that God has given me as a deposit for the kingdom to come will depart from my body and return to where it came from. The Holy Spirit then knowing me gives me the position of 'child' of God, as a 'son' of God and enables me to be raised at the first resurrection, God willing.
This to me makes the soul and the Spirit two separate entities. I also do not think that my soul will be capable of thought, or any cognitive procedure at all, there will be knowing I am going to die and then being with Jesus. The transition will be instantaneous no matter how many years decades or centuries have passed.
