Serious questions.

What part of the brain does our "soul" generate from?
Is your soul simply the same thing as consciousness or is it different?
Are our souls separate from the bodies we're using? How can you tell?
Can it be proven we even have one?

By spirit do you mean soul?

Yes. I should change that for clarification. Thanks, sarge.

I do not have any soul.

But then, I'm white. I hear black people have it.

If there were no soul, there would be no Godfather of Soul. Therefore, there must be a soul.

What was it that made you think so? Have an answer for the questions in the OP?

If yes, it doesn't have to be part of the brain. There are many connections, going both ways, from various organs to the brain: such as the heart, the GI system, and of course the spinal cord.

This is true. If we do have one, doesn't necessarily have to generate from your brain. Where do you think it is in the body of we have one?

It doesn't generate from any part, it's just within us


Is your soul simply the same thing as consciousness or is it different?

Different


Are our souls separate from the bodies we're using?

Yes


How can you tell?

Just my belief, the body is just a shell

Can it be proven we even have one?

Yes, when you die, either you'll know you had one or you won't

Man is made up of a body, a soul and a spirit.
The soul is made up of your mind, you will, and your emotions.

Yes we have souls. It is derived from the largest organ of the human body; the skin.

This also explains the "ginger issue." It is not that they do not have souls it is merely that the excessive blemishes that we refer to as freckles render their souls ineffective.

I think it is too. Which is why I think they are "separate", if we have one. There's no indication that they'd need to be one in the same.

After death I could see a couple things happening in this scenario. Validation of Christianity or the possibility of some form of regeneration.

I call it an earthsuit, which you eject from when you die.

There is no empirical evidence of a soul or spirit. Consciousness and mind are synonyms for the processes of the brain.

1 Thessalonians 5:23: 23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

Hebrews 4:12: 12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
