When you turn into this "soul" thingy can you see?

Question

Isn't sight a consequence of photons at certain wavelengths knocking off electrons in the rods and cones in our retinas.

Without light receptors how will sight work?

Answer 1

LOLOL I have often asked that question, to myself and others. A devout christian told me not too long ago that in Heaven, every day would be like one great feast with all the finest foods! I'd also like to know how in our disembodied state we would be able to eat and digest any of it, since we would have no physical mouths or digestive tract. Not to mention the fact that the desire to eat at all is a purely physical thing anyway, connected to our system of survival instincts.
If "I ain't got no body" eating - which is how we nourish the physical form - becomes totally unnecessary, meaning we will feel no hunger, and hence no craving for food. No more oysters and champagne - bummer!

Answer 2

Want scientific? A marionette has a puppet with strings attached to a criss crossed bar but does not function without someone controling it, u have a body connected to a brain via a nervous system but will not function without someone controling it & that my friend is you the soul. Not you have a soul you are the soul. Not convinced? Then become a budhist & approach a hotdog vendor & ask him 2 make you 1 with everything but give the science project a miss 4 awhile.

Answer 3

The Bible doesn't really say that fully to be honest- just that we will have new bodies. Not it says "bodies" so it isn't like we are Casper and flying around as ghost. God created the science behind our systems- so ya I think He's still figure out a way for us to see. Otherwise, why would God go to all the trouble of creating such a beautiful Heaven?

Answer 4

You are right, a scientific answer to a spiritual question.
Sort of.
We won't be able to, "see" per-say.
We will have another sense, sometimes referred to as the sixth sense.
I believe we will become a part of the greatness that is, that which we refer to as, "GOD."
This is simply my opinion, my theory.
No, we won't be able to see with the same small vision we currently have.
It will be so much more...we will just instantly know and more importantly, we will be a part of it.
I hope this helps your, "soul thingy theory."

Answer 5

No you at the instantaneous are not the absolutely one yet i comprehend the right thanks to experience that way in certain situations. It kills me that the files covers crap like Jamie-Lynn and Britney and all the different Hollywood BS. it really is why i watch BBC information they conceal the real information without the fluff. Who rather care about over paid those who've did not advance up, talk up on issued they don't have any information of in simple terms to make a dollar and do not something for all people yet themselves.

Answer 6

God`s creations are too perfect for an elementary mind.
When a perfect God created perfect things, you don`t have the right to question or challenge Him.
God created a perfect human being out of His image and likeness and He gave each of us a "holy" spirit from Him. Now, with these facts...you therefore can conclude our spirit can see as God sees everything! and our spirit can live eternally with Him if you are His friend.....suffer eternally if He denies you in Heaven.
Have you ever heard of a person who was visited with a ghost? Ghost look at them with eyes wide open in faint body form , even though their body returns to soil already.
So, if everything is so confusing to you, how about asking God in a friendly manner and probably He has still so much patience left in telling you everything you ask...just try!...just don`t doubt and challenge Him in anything.

Answer 7

Since God created photons and eyes, the soul will be able to see. Because we will have redeemed and incorruptible bodies (with eyes) if we are saved through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Peace.

Answer 8

Dear Sho-Nuff,

I do not know how the eye works. But in answer to your question, when you turn into this "soul" thingy, can you see. I have read some scripture in the Bible that I believe answers your question. This is also a good thing to know because we all have to make a choice as to where we want to spend eternity. There is a heaven and a hell, and our soul lives on. The Bible makes this very clear in the book of Luke.

"The Rich Man and Lazarus" Luke 16:19-31

"There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine lined and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the curmbs which fell from the rich man's table.
Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Then he (the rich man) cried and said, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, 'Son remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.
And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'
Then he (the rich man) said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him (Lazarus) to my fathers house, for I have five brothers that he(Lazarus) may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment'
Abraham said to him, "They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them."
And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.
But he (Father Abraham) said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophent,neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead"

Notice two important things about the rich man who was in hades.

1) he (the rich man) lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.
2) he (the rich man) said send Lazaurs that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this this flame.

the rich man and the beggar(Lazarus) were both concious of what was going on with their soul. The rich man it says lifted up his eyes and saw. Also, not only did he see, he was enduring torment in flames, and he also saw that Lazarus was being comforted.

While we are still alive and have a choice, we can choose to accept Christ as our personal savior and have eternity in heaven like lazarus, or we can reject Christ and have an eternity in Hades.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me."

Answer 9

I believe that you can see, of course. The eyes are for the brain, not the soul.

Answer 10

The Bible says you get a new incorruptible body. Ergo, eyes = sight.
