Is soul eternal? why / how?
107074
The "soul" is definitely NOT eternal. Look back in Genesis 2:7 at the creation of Adam. Note closely what it said: "....and he became a living soul." It doesn't say God GAVE him a soul, it said Adam WAS the soul. Later on in the scriptures (Ezekiel 18:4) it says "the soul that is sinning, it itself will die." \n\nThe very notion of humans having some mysterious and separate soul that goes off somewhere at death is absurd, and completely against the Bible. Thank goodness we have God's word the Bible to clear up such gross misconceptions and wrong beliefs.

Well, the "in between" are still dead, but yes, there are souls that don't know they're dead.  This happens primarily when a person dies a tragic death, e.g. in an accident.  Sometimes, when they don't want to go to the Light, because they feel they have something to take care of, they will also be Earth-bound.\nIt has been reported that on occasion, a spirit could drain a person's energy, but that is also true for the living.\nSpirits see both, dead and alive.  You can't guarantee anything, including what you will WILL yourself to do after your body dies.

Yes you can prove your mind!  Brain chemistry!\n\nSoul and spirit, totally different!\n\nNo matter how much you believe in them or faith etc, you are going to find it very, very hard to actually come up with any scientific proof for the existence of a soul or spirit!\n\nSorry folks...! ;-)

Soul, of course.\n\nBody is temporary and soul is eternal.

Here is a straight answer: I don't know.  I'd help you if I could, but I honestly don't know.  I like his song "Beautiful Soul."  Wish I could help ya!

Soul enters Body at moment of conception.\nSoul is immortal and obviously body lays down and turns back to dust.\nI believe We are Spiritual Beings(SOUL-part of the Great IAM,GOD) in a Physical(BODY).  It seems to me most people figure it the other way around--physical beings, trying to SOMEHOW become Spiritual Beings.  maybe they will catch on once the meet their maker.

It was always my thought that the spirit and soul were the same thing, not two separate entities. In that respect, your spirit/soul and your body could be in two different places at one, after death. The fact that you are living and etc, means they are still striving together!  :-)

Soul is anything by the Late Great Wilson Picket, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, the Late Great Ray Charles...etc!  Amen!

As far as anyone can tell, there is no such thing as a soul.  When you die, you cease to exist.  End of story.\n\nADDENDUM:  To anyone who answers this question from the perspective that souls exist, you ought to justify your assertions with verifiable evidence or valid argument, not just make unsupported claims, otherwise your response is essentially worthless.  Oh, and quoting from the Bible or the Qur'an constitutes neither evidence nor argument...  :-)\n\nIt is a fundamental principle of rational thought that if you claim something exists, and you want people to believe you, then the onus is on you to provide argument or evidence to support your claim, not on other people to refute it.  The default position is non-belief, in other words.

Well, from wich perspective do you look at it? In my opinion, physical reality incarnations are done for the purpouse of spiritual growth..."body is a car, soul is a driver, YOU". Aside from that, I believe all is devine, in other words, all is god, source, as some say it. I also believe that each seek's to reunite with source... :) Take Care, Love and Light

I believe in immortality through ascension of planes and dimensions of reality in which we constantly evolve, are always aware, an the closer you get to reaching your ultimate form the more talents and abilities and knowledge and wisdom you'll have in this current life. It's not quite reincarnation because that entails dying and being born again new. What i believe is you never die, and are never renewed.

What do you think heaven and hell is, I stronly feel that we can make earth heaven or hell, whatever we like, Why people say that souls mission is to bring heaven to earth is, because the soul in always pure, what is impure is the body and the mind, if we start thinking from our soul then surely the earth will be heven, but the question is can we connect to our soul, and if so how, the answer is by living life consciously and spiritualy.

What happened to your soul?

:) Okay. From a strictly scientific standpoint. What does your brain operate on? Electrical energy. We have a scientific law which states; Energy can neither be created, nor destroyed. It can only be altered in form. Okay, the energy in our brains cannot be destroyed, upon the death of our physical bodies. Then what happens to it??? I think there's your Ghosts. Who we are changes form, but is not destroyed. We still exist. I guess maybe it's a science based definition of a soul?

The soul is energy, and energy can neither be created, nor destroyed.  I believe that we go somewhere.  Where, you ask?  Who knows, but death is not the end, but the begining of a marvelous new adventure.

there is no scientific proof as far as i know that soul really does exist.but many philosophers have plausible arguments in support of the existence of the soul.as far as our energy is concerned it simply changes form and gets converted to heat energy,chemical energy etc.
