Religion is a common belief shared by a certain mass of humans. It usually involves the worshiping of a high power.

Only God knows the absolute truth. We thus need faith.

In early Abrahamic faith, the concept of sheol existed. It is believed by the Jews in majority including the later Pharisees. Only those disbelieved the Oral Torah rejected this concept. They are from the rich circle and are in minority. Actually, if it's not because of the afterlife and...

It's already answered in the very first chapter of the Scripture. All human suffering comes from the Fall caused by Adam. Human pain and death are inevitable. God will save souls but not bodies.

Religions exist because science can never answer this questions, What happens after death, does soul exist?

Something you might want to know from a historical/spiritual point of view. 1. Jews It was in the cross junction that even the Law enforcers, the Pharisees couldn't abide by the old covenent to God's satisfactory. That's why a new covenant is needed. 2. Gentiles It was in the historical...

Ok, thanks for the reminder. :)

From my speculation, the doctrine of a 'mortal soul' is all about a spiritual war where the anti-Christ camp advocates that Jesus Christ is not needed, God is so loving that you can always find your relief/escape without Jesus Christ. In the doctrines a 'more authenticated' interpreter is...

I am respectful is far from saying that I will not point out what flaws are in other's thoughts. Unless pointing out the truth is a problem here.

I am not curious about who you (and the 'us') are either, I care only about what truth is. :cool:

Of course, everyone is entitled to his own opinions. All I said is about a point of view I believe that can be consistent through out the whole Bible. Thanks for the 'verses' quoted anyway. :D

Wow, I need verses instead of human teachings. Job 12:10 could be up to something, other verses don't seem to refer directly to animal souls. Even with Job 12:10, it only shows that the word 'soul' can have other uses, instead of referring to animals souls. In whose hand is the soul of every...

Then would you show me the verse that animals having souls?

Moreover, 'soul' is a word specially reserved for humans. You don't usually call angels souls, rather they are the spirits. Only those ever existed as humans have a soul, in order to distinguish with the spirit. We are triunic in nature with a soul, a spirit and a body. You'll be surprised when...

It's a multi-folded prophecy, if you can relate the apple on the Tree which dropped on the head of Isaac Newton, thou at the same time it's historical event which can be taken literally.

There are false Gospels. By God's will, He speaks through the early Church and thus the existence of the Apostle's Creed which serves as a witness and reference for Christianity.

My impression about Islam is that, more or less like Buddhism and other eastern religions, it emphazies the suppression of sin. While I speculate that religions having the tendency of suppressing sins are usually allowed to exist as a religion by God. While sin suppressing is never the...

Hm..it's always a self-deceit to think that the one made the last post shall be the winner. Count the points, instead of who posts last. :cool:
