Soul Flashcards
Christian ideas about the soul?
Immortal - unlike physical body makes us all unique - “it is sown perishable and raised imperishable.”
Christian ideas about the soul?
In the likeness of God and we were made different than animals - “God breathed life into Adam”
Do humans have a soul?
Decartes said “I think therefore I am.”
This means that your conscience shows you have self awareness and therefore provides religious evidence for a soul.
Others would argue and say you don’t have a soul as you cannot see it or measure it. We can infer we have a soul as we would assume that there is fire from smoke.
Body and soul differences
Soul is non physical and immortal and your soul goes to heaven or hell. Your body is physical and mortal and it decomposes in the environment
Christian ideas about the soul?
It is sacred and without it we are just a body - “don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s spirit lives in you”
