When you hear the term 'soul' what comes to your mind? Many believe that this word means something invisible and immortal that exists inside us. They think that at death this invisible part of a human leaves the body and lives on. Since the belief is so widespread, many are suprised to learn that It Is NOT What The Bible Teaches. What, then, is soul according to God's Word? |

BACKGROUND INFO: You may remember that the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek. Therefore, our first goal is to know what is the Hebrew, and also Greek term for 'soul'. The Hebrew for the term 'soul' is nephesh and its Greek equivalent is psykhe'. These two words appear well over 800 times in the Scriptures. |

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SOUR REALLY IS? Let's study Genesis 2:7: 'Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.' Question: Who became the living soul? The text says that the MAN himself came to be a LIVING SOUL. Notice that the Bible does not say that man 'was given' a soul but he 'became' a soul, a living person. |

Does the soul die? Here's the Bible's answer: Ezekiel 18:4: 'Look! All the souls- to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son- to me they belong. The soul (nephesh) that is sinning-it itself will die. what the Bible teaches: The soul dies. It is not immortal. |

The soul is your inner spirit, how you live with it. And it is with you as long as your alive.

Thanks guys for the inputs. Ppl really have different opinions about 'soul'. However, the Bible has its own explanation...and it's only one. The bible teaches that 'soul' is NOT an invisible thing. It is visible and also, destroyable. Pls notice how 'soul' is used in Joshua 11:11: And they went striking every soul that was in it with the edge of the sword. No breathing thing at all was left over, and he burned Hazor in the fire. In the passage above we can know that 'every soul can be struck with the edge of a sword'. So, what does that mean? |
