We have three especial tools,a brain to think,the power to choose and intention that is for sumbiting our decision!
Any other creature could have these tools and be like us but why should we ourselves have them??
I believe that its because we have an especial soul,different from other creatures!
Souls cant improve or grow but material things have this option!
But when this two mix with eachother they act differently.
A soul that is related to a body can be grown or be ruined.
I believe that we have been the chosen one!We are the only creature that can grow his soul!
but other creatures can't do this and have a fixed point.
anyway we will be asked for it! what have done with this opportunity? have we used it as it properly?
Whats your opinion? why should we ourselves have the three especial tools??
And I dont mean that animals dont have soul i just said that they dont have the 3 tools.
Sorry for the mistakes,my english is not good anyway i hope You understood me!
Peace

You are the soul that lives in a human body but You are the Soul. You are born to grow and learn as a soul. To improve upon your understanding and ways of dealing with things. You can only truly learn through experience so you come here and you interact with the people and the environment and you grow and you learn until you have enough then you leave this body and review it all to see if you wish to learn more. How can I know what an animals soul is here to learn? They are made of energy just like us. I don't think it is wise to count other creatures as lesser just because we can not communicate fully and understand everything about them or their feelings.

Actually , if you read Genesis chapter 2, it explains the human soul and how it relates to the soul of animals. It says that God formed Adam's body from the dust (or elements) of the earth and breathing into it His spirit, and man became a living soul. What is "different" about man is not that he has soul, which is the will, thoughts, intelligence and emotions, but that he has a spirit. That is the part that makes man seek God. Animals do not do that - only man.
That union of the soul and spirit in the Bible is called the heart. Because man has both soul and spirit. his soul is considered a "living" soul, meaning that it does not cease at death. It remains attached to the spirit (which is eternal) and so it also lives forever.

Souls can, and do grow and advance over time, though this process is much faster when its done through incarnations and physical lifetimes.
which is the point of the incarnations and lives we have.
though sometimes people can incarnate in animals, some people feel that in some cases familiars and such "pets" are actually human-level souls incarnated in the animal form to help their person.
but, such incarnations(in forms that are not "by default" sentient, such as cats or other animals, as opposed to humans and such) don't provide as much personal advancement and progress. but its not always neccesary, there are bigger things in the great scheme.

The soul is much more complicated. A fox has a brian, it makes choices and displays intent but has no soul.
If you were brain damaged and lost the ability to be rational you would not have lost your soul.
The soul is not a biological device, it is something much harder to define.

humans are different from animals in the following way:
1. they have the ability to imagine.
2. they have the freedom to do at will.
Due to these two faculties not getting fulfilled - conduct of human being hasn't been defined and fixed. This can be observed by looking at the human history. Humans have always applied their imagination and freedom to do at will - to experiment, research, improve. It is evident in the way humans ate, lived, behaved - changed across human history, and it is still changing. Clearly these two faculties haven't found their point of fulfillment. Not having the fulfillment is the cause of all unrest in human. The purpose of these two faculties in human, is to understand existence and realize co-existence with everything else, including other humans, nature, etc.
Animals are not free to do at will, nor do they have imagination. Their conduct has remained same ever since they first appeared. Conduct of lion is same since it first appeared on earth. Animals only have the desire to live - and they live for food, sleep, fear, and sex. The conscious part of an animal - we can call it 'soul' to give it a name - cannot do anything more than this - with the limited capacity of the brains in animals. Existence is expressed as co-existence - so despite their living only according to their body, they realize harmony.
With humans, it is not possible to live just according to the body. Human needs to understand himself and the rest of the existence to live in harmony with it. That's the purpose of the two faculties - I mentioned earlier. There is no struggle in existence. Human being's desired state of happiness - is also the realization of co-existence with everything else.
These tools are there for us humans to understand ourself and the existence. Man's salvation is in recognizing these faculties and using them to realize himself, and establish a just human-order on earth.

ok ppl have souls animals do not have souls
having a soul means you have a choice of what you do ppl make choices all the time,
animals never get to make choices they are always on the same track they were on hundreds of years ago, ppl on the other hand have changed imincely and are always going to change animals will not and animals cant go to heaven or hell cause they have no soul,
simple as that.

We as humans have these features, so that we can be a light to others. We should use these tools wisely, as they are a gift from God. We should live our lives as God instructed and show others how to live...that's our purpose here. God gave us a brain, and we should check out everything before we accept it...we should learn and use the brain God gave us...not follow other humans blindly.

It's simple. God made us in His image. In the image of His spirit. He did not make the anmals in His image. We are the overseers or dominion of the amimals.
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and "have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Mind,body and soul.And the most important-free will.There is no such thing as "the chosen one"...you chose yourself to be here.Maybe you should read more books on the subject and will get your own answers.

There is none like you ~
God created us because he loves wondrous variety. Look around you, life and inanimate gorgeousness! He gave us them because (even tho u contradicted yourself) we are to learn thereby understanding thereby gaining wisdom thereby gaining faith ~ FAITH that will save us! God gave us eyes and brains and limbs to do His will ~ believe in that.
