If you answer, "Through out the entire body," then what becomes of the soul of a soldier who had both legs blown off by a land mine? Is he/she now missing part of the soul?

Or, what about when an organ is removed due to disease? Do we lose part of our souls at that time?

We pulled names in our family as secret santa to purchase one person a gift. Me and my husband are on a tight budget and purchased our gifts as gift cards $15 - $ 25 dollars. When I presented my gift to my person, she was upset cause the amount was not $50 dollars and up. I told her that I was on a budget and if she did not like it, to give it back. The reason I said this was because while I step out the house for a while, she discussed her issue with other family members and not me. She kept saying that the least was $50.00 and If I couldn't afford it, I should not have participated. I told her I did not know that the least was $50. Me and my husband was upset cause we had already told her about our situation. Then she just started talking about it with the family. I was so upset that I told her that I thought she was being silly, immature, and ungrateful. I also told her that I would never pull names again with her. Was I too mean? I feel bad.

Ideally I'd like to read two books on the subject: one a proponent of the idea of "the Jesus myth" and one a proponent of an historical Jesus.

I'm fairly convinced of the existence of Jesus, based on what I've read so far on the internet, but I'd like to research the subject further.

So...what books can you recommend to me from either side of the debate?

Ok im a Christian but there are a few things from other religions prespectives, like Buddhism . I believe in the reincarnation part of it, but i also believe that man evolved over time, so is this wrong to think?

It doesn't matter whether you are a Muslim, Christians, Atheist, Hindu, Buddhist etc. Do you respect other religions (besides your own) by respecting their belief, ways of living or anything that has to do with their religion?

-They rape women.

Cases where women rape men are rare, and they usually occur by women who were raped by a man!

-Men are expected to be agressive physically.

There are several more cases of men abusing their wives than women abusing their male counterparts.

-Men are expected to be more callous emotionally. They usually also state that they only want sex. The porn industry is also usually geared to suit a man's desire.

Is in their DNA? Do you have scientific data to prove your statements. Please state your sources.

Celestial kingdom—Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ reside in the celestial kingdom. If you live according to the gospel of Jesus Christ and are cleansed from sin by the Atonement, you will receive a place in this, the highest kingdom, where you will live in God’s presence and know complete joy.
Terrestrial kingdom—People who refuse to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ but who live honorable lives will receive a place in the terrestrial kingdom.
Telestial kingdom—Those who continue in their sins and do not repent until after they have died, will eventually receive a place in the telestial kingdom.
(source: http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/basic-beliefs/heavenly-father-s-plan-of-salvation/heaven-and-eternal-reward )

As things are shown here, it seems quite clear that there is no concept of heaven and hell. But I can still figure out that the Celestial Kingdom is equivalent to heaven while the Telestial Kingdom is hell. However, what about the Terrestrial Kindom?

We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness. Forgiveness is available for all. But not automatic. It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven. Because who we are: Every person is a sinner. But how can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no sin?? Heaven is eternal life. How?? How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord?? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness, so we must to do this?

I'm 60, my mother, 88. Visiting for Christmas after a long absence, holding her close, she said she wanted to live with me "forever and ever", not comprehending my own disability.

My sister, 65, and niece, 44, were present, who tend her often, living in the same city as the nursing home, but neither able either. She is there for multiple TIAs (ministrokes). My sister and I saw the brain scan showing the damage, when the neuro PhD told Mother she could no longer live alone, nor in an assisted living center; that the areas of damage would cause additional falls, imbalance and impaired memory.

She's remained unconvinced 4 years. The doctors have confirmed that other than the effects of her strokes, she is in perfect health, and will likely live a lot longer.

Repeating what happened when we made this decision, she remembers none of it, nor having ever fallen, saying today she thinks we're "pulling her leg". It breaks my heart. I write her weekly. Keep these explanations?
