    I believe we do not have souls but are souls (aka spirits) that go from having a physical form to not having physical forms in a cycle.

  • Doria says:

    Each person has three components, physical, mental and spiritual. The spiritual part contains all that we are, have ever been taught, or have observed. That is the soul. Sadly that’s the most natural part of humanity.
    Have you ever noticed how totally selfish a two year old is?
    “Give it to me. I want it. I will take it any way that I can. I will bite, hit, shove, or scream until someone makes you give it to me.” Most of us learn other ways of dealing with our world. That is why Jesus taught, “You must be born again.” Our spirits must become guided by Holy Spirit to be as we were created to be. Then our souls will prosper on the level on which we were created, to be pleasing in God, our heavenly Father.

    nothing make sense everyone has different view? bibble,quran and other holy books says same in different ways, but still no one has ever got it right,
    what is soul, and what is spirit its two different things, how do get soul ( i am not its not during the birth) cause the first thing that forms when baby starts developing is the heart and electricity charge that starts to drive other bits of the human part to form,
    and where does the soul go has anyone ever knows (i guess not)
    there are no answers and i can say one thing is soul is like a car battery, its on all the time even when car is turned off its still using electric charge from the battery (how does car alarm goes on ??) water food is the fuel keeps the body work , but humans have one battery lifetime warranty with expiry date on it, when it expires body stops working, when person dies
    why do they use those electric charge to give a short to person and suddenly the heart starts pumping do you know why human have inveted that equipement i guess no one know why and who taught of it and if someone invented who gave him that idea ?? every road ends with ?? questions, we live in earth but do you know there is more to than eaarth, and earth is just a prison no one has ever came out of it the earth is not round its flat,
    so i still dont understand why we die (and i guess we just compromise and make our self feel better when someone says there’s heaven and hell there is GOD) i think this is not to let humans use thier brians to find out its kind of brainwashed or a black curtain somehow coverying our vision, cause GOD know’s that i have created one of the smartest and intelligent creatures and thats why he is so amazed and proud of his creation even angels where against it. you know human race has a catch a small print that we dont see it, its infront of our eyes’ but humans just cant read. everything in this world works the same way as human’s do, fancy a party hey i wanna buy new dress so i can look pretty, oh i am gonna have new stereo in my car so i can impress women on the street, oh i have to take shower so i can smell great at night but do u know why u have to take shower or do u know if i dont have stereo in a car how boring that will be while driving, some religion says taking shower keeps our “soul” clean but how ?? u just took shower and had sex is that clean soul hell no.. i guess again no answer’s
    taking shower that makes our body not to rote into bad smell its like ur creating ur own expiry date before it expires to its orignal date, there no explanation with actual results to this, i am baffaled my self, sometimes i vision my own death seeing infront of my eyes i am laying down there people are crying but hey how will this soul leave my body cant i get new replacement battery so ican keep going, we get older you know why we age..
    cause our hormones stop producing and gradually reduces when we grow… its like a car part hey my brake pads dieing i need new one so why dont we figure out and find something that will help us not to age, oh i know there anti aging pills in the market hand on they dont work hehe…
    now days humans have become more intelligent and i am sure GOD is not supprise cause we get heart transplant, new liver, but hold on replacing body parts/organ would not replace our battery that is soul you know why cause no one has or ever figure that out we always looking for work around like oh my face looks old hang on i got 50k in my bank i can do plastic surgeon whats that for only gonna last for what 1year two years spend money again thats not a way.. i am afraid of dieing, i dont wont to grow old, i want to stay young, i fear how will my soul come out there’s a feeling that is inside a wall caged and when the soul breaks the cage i am finito it makes you feel you have a wall just like firewall in the computer network cause your hidding will never find the answer for this .

    people dont get mad its just how i feel hope you understand no one will know untill there is a miracle of human being dies and come back inside the same body rather incarnated.

    Our soul is that spark within us that comes to us at birth and is who we really are. But we are a seamless unit which includes a physical body. This two in one is the image of (reflective of) our Creator, who is three in one.

    The first man was created with a perfectly good soul. But he chose to become evil. Nothing is evil in the beginning. Evil can only corrupt good. But since we all inherit his genetic makeup, none of us are born perfectly good. Though we are relatively innocent as children, we have tainted souls.

    In our life here, we decide whether we will succumb to our evil tendencies or use the power our Creator has made freely available to us to rise above and become good again.

  • sharonb says:

    yes we do have a soul God gave it to us it says so in the Bible and the Bible is true

  • Nick says:

    We may have a soul we may not. The truth is no one really knows. You can feel you have one but then is your soul a feeling? Define soul? If you mean a part of us that lives on forever after our body has died then one can’t be sure. I definitely know we have feeling and a vast array of complicated glorious emotions. A lot of which may not even have a name in the english language. We feel. We can know. We can intuit. But I don’t think that can be determined ever one hundred percent. I know that I am inextricably linked to the people around me that everyone is dependent on me and I am dependent upon them. I work in a job serving the whole as does everyone. Without this massive collaborative effort survival would be much more difficult and in some places we live now impossible. See without using the imagination to view the truth. Use the imagination to create truth.

  • Merl says:

    No, we do not have souls. We are souls. Each person is a soul. The body and breath makes an individual a living soul. Please see Genesis 2:7. Without the breath, only a body exists (a dead one!). Breathing, the individual is alive (living). When a soul dies, the breath goes back to God and the body returns to dust. The body does not live in and of itself; neither does the spirit. There are no shadowy substance(ghosts) living anywhere; not in heaven or in hell, or even purgatory.

    In support of these comments, if you have a Bible, please read Job 27:3; Job 14:12,21; Job 7:9,10; Psalms 6:5; Isaiah 38:18,19; Psalms 115:17.

    For christians who believe in Christ and his return, you will confirm that Christ will restore to us the breath of life at that time. He has the power to raise the dead. Because He himself arose from the dead. We are assured, we are confident(we know) that he can raise us too.

  • nuwan wickramasinghe says:

    firs of all,i sapose to tell that i am a buddhist ., according to the budhist view , the main point is terminate the re incarnation or re birth., actually i cant explane the whole data about soul.if i explain briefly, soul is a invisible power or spirite,that mean, the astral body of a life .astral body is not going to terminate at all,that is going birth to birth like the wheel of a bull cart,whither does bull go,the wheel is always with it’s back .

  • Onwumere covenant Chris says:

    Starting frm d day of creation, God made man in His image(soul), i.e as God is invisible 2 us, so shal we can’t see our souls bt hv a feeling frm it. And like-wise cnt cee God bt can hv an instinct of Gnd’s existence. Therefore, every creatures are wt souls including u & i.

  • sharon b says:

    we all have a soul God gave it to us

  • Edem Tsivanyo says:

    thanks!!!

  • M.J. says:

    I believe we are three part beings. We are spirits living in flesh and we have souls — which are our will and our emotions. So our souls are actually our personalities within our spirits and bodies.

  • Claire says:

    I’m intrigued by the person who said he felt that a soul is something you earn if you’re good. I’ve never heard that perspective before. I think that all humans have souls. I think that is what leaves the body when a person dies.
