I looked them up, Theodoric.
Not one compares in uniqueness with the Bible. I could tell that those were made up but the Bible wasn't.
Hi Hyroglyphyx;
C.S. Lewis once said, "you don't have a soul, you are a soul."
How does that concept sit with your theology?
You are a soul as in it's the essence of who you are? That does agree with my theology. According to it, the physical body is just a dwelling place for the real inner man--the soul.
Wow, what a bunch of assholes!!! Imagine the audacity of being preoccupied with such trivial things like accuracy and evidence!
It depends on how you take it, hyroglyphyx. You have to ask yourself what defines who you are....for me, the condition of my soul defines who I am. Accuracy, evidence, numbers, theories, and facts are all surely a part of life. Definitly important. But they don't define people's lives....
If a statistical study is accurate, both numerically and ideologically, then great. ....But how does that influence how I spend my day? my life? Surely life doesn't revolve around numbers and facts all the time?
No, sometimes they're in cartoons too.
Hmm, yes. I found that picture funny.
Have you ever felt peace? You know, when it all seems good and calm, and pleasing.....how do you explain the emotion of peace? Why do we feel peace? Why don't we? Where is its origin? What are its effects? Why is present in humans and not animals or plants? Or is it?
I have to admit, this all sounds very logical. I'm just wondering what this soul and spirit you are referring to is. Can you enlighten the material men?
Oh C'mon Hyro, why would you admit this to sound logical.....its okay for me to sound absolutely absurd, be happy its me and not you..... If there's one person who's messed up, its me.....you're good, right?
A soul is God-given, eternal, conscious awareness of self.
Unlike the body, the soul is death-defying.
It can communicate with God.
It is the source and seat of abstract emotions
It is originally sinful
It cannot decay or grow
It can be tainted or purified
It is powerful....it dictates the material man's motives, actions, and words
