What is the difference between a person’s Soul and Spirit?

When humans are cloned what will happen to the Soul (or Spirit)? Will it get cloned? Or does God accept the human victory & offer a fresh spirit?

I asked this to a Jehovah witness. He says the first cloning was done in the Bible & that is how Jesus was born!

If this was true then does it mean cloning the Holy Spirit?

If a certain organ alone is developed as the scientists claims, then will it have a Spirit? In which part of the body do the spirit resides?

In the lungs. (Spirit/pneuma/breath...)

If not there, then I think the spirit's only possible home is the imagination.

Amos

The word person is from persona and our persona is the image we pretend to be and present to others. It is only because we are pretenders (imposters) that we have a soul because if we were not imposters we would be present according the image of our soul . . . and would not "have" a soul but "be" our soul (as in "I am").

It is because we have a soul that we have a "[holy] spirit" and it is only because we are divided in our own mind (are pretenders) that such a spirit can exist. The HS is therefore an inspired human concept and is not part of the cloning procedure.

This information is new to me. I have come across Trichotomy & Dichotomy. But never heard about this theory. Could you kindly tell me if this is mentioned in the bible. or wherever you got this from. It is interesting to know that I am an imposter of some spirit.

Amos

In the bible Jesus was called an imposter and would become the final imposter if he did not die and rise prior to the conversion of the sins in the netherworld (Mt.27:64). To be the final imposter is worse than the first because without the conversion of the netherworld (the soul) the resurrection of Jesus could not have followed the crucifixion event. The conversion of the netherworld is needed to resolve the paradox sinful yet saved.

We all are imposters in our ego identity and if we are imposters in our ego identity it follows that we are real only in our True identity.

This really doesn't seem relevant to BC&A, so I'm moving it to where it will fit in more...
