When we die, the portions of our body that think, create, reason, etc plus the heart where the emotions come from are all buried. But the SOUL moves on. So the Soul is God's Creative speaking point. If we Believe in God, we Believe first from our Consciousness. If we do not believe, we do so from our Consciousness. Once we shut the SOUL down, our Consciousness stops speaking to us. It's why humans can murder and feel justified. But for the Believer, doing wrong results in God speaking to our SOUL, who speaks to our Consciousness, and then we ask for forgiveness.
Three Gods or one? Explain the Trinity.

If you ever meet people who want you to believe they are genius, educated, intelligent. They have shut down their Consciousness. They have concluded God is a silly novel idea. Their SOUL no longer is connecting to their Consciousness by choice.
The Believer on the other hand, relies upon the Soul conversing to our Consciousness. Because this is where GOD SPEAKS to us at!

A simple yes/no literally means you are answering with no idea to how the Brain actually functions.
It's like the Narcissist. The left side of the brain is where ideas come from. Let's say you are entertaining murder. The right side of the brain is where your reasoning exists at. This is where your right side literally speaks to the left side by saying, no, we do not do that.
But the Narcissist, Mentally Ill, many times there is a disconnect between the 2 sides. It's why you see someone in court for murder and they act like they did nothing wrong. Well, without having a right side communicating to the left side, they do truthfully believe they have done nothing wrong.

The soul is either
1. Analogous with the mind
2. Separate of the mind
3. A branch of the mind (one of the part of the mind)
4. The source of the mind (the inverse...."the mind is on of the parts of the soul")
There are no other alternatives. Name one if you think there is. After we chose of these paths of reasoning for this subject then we can move on. But we have to establish some common ground first.

Ok, thank you for answering simply. Now we can move on.
I can read and reason just fine. But when people are grammatically incorrect or misspelling words or communicating in fragments....it can be difficult to know what someone means. That is true for most people, not just me. And for the record, my teachers tell me I am an excellent student. That was very condescending of you.

I apologize!
But the functioning of the Mind is literally in thousands of layers. Each layer is specific. It's why they will take the mind of someone who has suffered from concussions or the jolting of the Brain after death. Slice it into thin layers. And analyze how many layers the
Brain has been affected by the damage.
You can do this to those who also suffer from Psychological Disorders.
Understood. That being said, lets test that with Scripture: (we're gonna do this one verse at a time ,to keep things simple for the other members reading this...
Matthew 22:37 Jesus tells us that the mind and the soul have the capacity to function in love. I.e. we can love with our soul... And we can love with our mind. How can this be true if "the soul and the mind do not overlap in their function"? (which you admit is your belief)

Jesus is also saying the mind and soul are not working together in this function of love which verifies a separation of the soul to the mind. If we are saved, we give our entire being to God. God loves us to the Soul for us to relay that to our mind. When we love God with our Mind, our Soul acts like a confirmation. This is how I see this verse.
