Do you think you have a soul?

Please leave religion out of it. Unless you want the thread closed.

Can't be wrong.......

Actually I would like to point out that NO ONE is wrong with any answer they give. Why?

Because the original question was as follows:

Do you think you have a soul?

And as you can see it did NOT ask IF you have a soul, but if you THINK you have one. And that being the case, no one can be wrong! LOL

It is like asking someone what they thought 2 plus 2 equaled. If they said 9, they would NOT be wrong since you did not ask them what two plus two actually equaled, just what they THOUGHT it did. It is about paying attention to detail and actually asking the questions you want answered.

How about THAT for a discussion point!?! LOL

rifleman....i tried to send this to you privately:

hey rifleman...this is beam

i decided to continue this discussion in private so we don't get that thread closed.

anyways...the points you bring up are good points, but we need to remember that God didn't "program" us to do his will. he gave us the choice. and since Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of eden, evil and sin has been a part of every human being ever....except one...Jesus the Christ.

that is one reason why he is a valid Savior...he never sinned.

don't get caught up in a Calvinistic mindset....where God knows what is going to happen...who is going to Heaven and who is going to Hell, so it doesn't matter what we do.

this isn't true. we were made to worship God, and until we do by receiving his gift of forgiveness through Jesus, we will not TRULY be happy.

god didn't give us the impulse to sin....just as he didn't create Lucifer (he used to be an angel who, because of pride, was kicked out of heaven) to be prideful and evil.

We turned and continue to turn from God on our own.

Well that does it. Pitting one against the other was the bench mark. Closing now.
