At the moment of conception the soul enters the body. What do I have to do to get back the half of my soul?

Question

my identical twin brother took from me when the fertilized egg split to form us both? I can't go on with only half a soul.

Answer 1

Don't worry about it. Everybody has the same number of souls - - - zero. If you're that concerned about it, you can have mine, absolutely free.

Answer 2

Each living person is a soul. You may be half souled, but that has nothing to do with your twin...lol

Genesis 2:7: "and Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of the dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.

Also if you think about it, at the moment of conception there is no body yet, so if the soul were something that could enter the body at the moment of conception, where would it find the body? The moment that the egg is fertilized a living soul or two has begun to live. I think you can safely go on...you are a whole soul, and I am gonna venture a guess that your twin is as well.

Answer 3

Who knows? I'm going with at conception. God would have the foresight to know that the egg was going to split and provide souls accordingly. Conjoined twins? Seperate souls. As for the soul waiting room I'd say some souls are recycled which might explain why so many people are so tired and worn out these days their soul didn't have time to rest between jobs. I guess we may find all the answers out when we die.

Answer 4

The idea that a soul enters the body at conception is not Biblical, but Catholic. The Bible says that we ARE a soul, we don't RECEIVE a soul.
SOUL = body + breath of God
SOUL - breath of God = body (dead)

At conception, a new body is formed, but it borrows the life (breath of God) from the generation before. This life has come down in an unbroken line from Adam, like passing on a flame from one candle to another. It's still the same flame.
Life (or breath of God) cannot be measured, therefore you cannot have "half a soul/life". The life that was passed down from Adam was shared with your twin without diminishing.

Answer 5

Gen 2:7. You do not have a soul, you are the soul, but you do have a spirit, which is wholly yours and not divided with anyone. The only thing that you brother took from you is the same thing that you took from you brother- half of a cell. So get over you selfishness and grow up. Love your brother, because he is you in a different body which you can never have. You both have different personalities, wants, desires, needs, likes, dislikes, etc. You are two different people, born of the same mother.

Answer 6

The body is the "world-consciousness," the soul is the "self-consciousness," and the spirit is the "God-consciousness." There are five organs in the body which afford man the five senses. This physical body enables man to communicate with the physical world. This is why it is called the "world- consciousness." The soul comprises that part in man known as the intellect, which makes man's existence possible. The part of love generates affections toward other human beings or objects. Affections originate from the senses. All these are parts of man himself; they form the personality of man. Hence, they are called the "self-consciousness." The spirit is the part with which man communicates with God. With this part man worships God, serves Him, and understands his relationship with God. Hence, it is called "God-consciousness." Just as God dwells in the spirit, the self dwells in the soul, and the senses dwell in the body.

The soul is the meeting point; here the spirit and the body join. Man communicates with God's Spirit and the spiritual realm through the spirit and receives and expresses power and life in the spiritual realm through this spirit. He communicates with the outside world of senses through the body; the world and the body interact with one another. The soul lies in between these two worlds and belongs to these two worlds. On the one hand, it communicates with the spiritual realm through the spirit, and on the other hand, it communicates with the physical world through the body. The soul has the power of self-determination; it can make decisions concerning the things related to it in the environment and can choose or reject them. It is impossible for the spirit to control the body directly; it requires a medium. This medium is the soul, which was produced when the spirit touched the body. The soul is in between the spirit and the body; it binds the spirit and the body together as one. The spirit can rule over the body through the soul and subject it under God's power. The body can also induce the spirit through the soul to love the world.

Among the three elements of man, the spirit is joined to God and is the highest. The body is in contact with the material world and is the lowest. In between the two is the soul. It takes as its nature the nature of the other two. As such it becomes the linkage of the other two parts. Through the soul the two parts can fellowship with each other and can work together. The function of the soul is to maintain the spirit and the body in their proper order so that they will not lose their proper relationship with one another. In this way, the body, which is the lowest, will submit to the spirit, and the spirit, which is the highest, will be able to control the body through the soul. The soul is indeed the chief element in man. The soul looks to the spirit for the supply which the latter has received from the Holy Spirit and communicates to the body what it has received so that the body may partake of the perfection of the Holy Spirit and become a spiritual body.

Man's spirit is the noblest part of man; it dwells in man's innermost part. The body is the lowest and remains outside. The soul dwells between the spirit and the body and is the medium of the two. The body is the outer shell of the soul, while the soul is the outer shell of the spirit. When the spirit tries to control the body, it has to do so with the help of the intermediary soul. Before man fell, it was the spirit (through the soul) that controlled the whole being. When the spirit wanted to do something, it communicated to the soul, and the soul activated the body to follow the order of the spirit. This is what it means for the soul to be the medium.

The soul is potentially the strongest part because both the spirit and the body are incorporated into it, take it as their personality, and are affected by it. But in the beginning, man had not sinned, and the power of the soul was fully under the control of the spirit. Hence, the power of the soul was the power of the spirit. The spirit could not drive the body by itself; it had to do so through the soul. We can see this from Luke 1:46-47: "My soul magnifies [present tense] the Lord, and my spirit has exulted [perfect tense] in God my Savior." Here we see the change in tense according to the original language, which indicates that the spirit must first exult before the soul can magnify the Lord. The spirit first communicates the exultation to the soul, then the soul expresses this exultation through the organs of the body.

In conclusion, the soul is the seat of personality; man's will, intellect, and emotion all lie in the soul. The spirit is the part with which man communicates with the spiritual realm. The body is the part with which man communicates with the physical realm. The soul is in the middle of these two parts. It exercises its judgment to determine if the spiritual realm is to rule or if the physical realm is to rule. Sometimes the soul rules through its intellect and senses; when that happens, the psychological world rules. Unless the soul yields its rule to the spirit, the spirit cannot rule. Hence, the soul has to authorize the spirit to rule before the latter can rule over the soul and the whole body. The reason for this is that the soul is the origin of man's personality.

The soul is the master of a person because man's will is part of the soul. When the spirit controls the whole being, it is because the soul has yielded itself and has taken a lower position. If the soul rebels, the spirit will not have the power to control it. This is the meaning of "free will" in man. Man has the absolute right to make his own decisions. He is not a machine which turns according to God's will. He has his own faculty of deliberation. He can choose to obey God's will, and he can choose to oppose God's will and to follow the devil's will. According to God's arrangement, the spirit should be the highest part and should control the whole being. Yet the main part of man's personality, the will, is of the soul. Man's will (soul) has the power to choose to let the spirit rule, to let the body rule, or to let the self rule. Because the soul is so powerful, the Bible calls it "a living soul."

Answer 7

(Genesis 2:7) "God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils a soul-breath of life. Man [thus] became a living creature."

People who claim the soul enters the body at conception need to stand a little closer to their Bibles. It CLEARLY says that life enters the body with breath. Nobody has a soul until the breath of life enters their body, and the soul does not leave until no breaths remain.

Answer 8

I'm sure you have a whole soul and your brother has one too. With twins I would think God would put 2 souls in.

Answer 9

Actually it sounds like if there was a single soul involved with this egg, you didn't get any part of it.

Answer 10

At the moment of conception a spermatozoa enters the egg.
This happens a few seconds after ejaulation which in turn happened after the penis entered the vagina. Not much soul entering is there ? :-)

Answer 11

NO at the moment of BIRTH the soul enters the body.
That is why twins have two different souls.
