Do we have a soul?

Question

Forget about about the existence of god for a moment....do you think we have a soul?

Answer 1

Nope. No conciousness without form/matter.

Answer 2

The man doesn't have a soul. He is a soul.
"And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life (spirit), and the man came to be a living soul." - Genesis 2:7
If you read this verse carefully you see that dust + breath of life = living soul.
The verse says that Adam became a living soul. That means that a soul can be dead too.
Though breathing sustained his life, putting "the breath of life" into his nostrils involved much more than simply blowing air into his lungs. It meant that God put into Adam's lifeless body the spark of life—"the force of life," which is active in all earthly creatures. (Genesis 6:17; 7:22) The Bible refers to this animating force as "spirit."
What happens to the spirit when a person dies? Psalm 146:4 says: "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish." When a person dies, his impersonal spirit does not go on existing in another realm as a spirit creature. It "returns to the true God who gave it." (Ecclesiastes 12:7) This means that any hope of future life for that person now rests entirely with God.
After we die we go back into the dust and decompose. Nothing more.
When pronouncing sentence upon Adam, Jehovah stated: "Dust you are and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:19) Where was Adam before God formed him from the dust of the ground and gave him life? Why, he simply did not exist! When he died, Adam returned to that state of complete absence of life. The condition of the dead is made clear at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, where we read: "The dead know nothing . . . In the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." Scripturally, death is a state of nonexistence. The dead have no awareness, no feelings, no thoughts.

Answer 3

Yes we do. That's what the bible meant when it said God created man in His own image. God is a spirit and we have a spirit inside of us. That's why if you were on a cliff and slipped and fell off you would automatically call on the name of Jesus, even if you don't recognize Him. Your spirit knows God because it was with Him before it was entered in you at conception

Answer 4

I think I do have a soul. It is beyond your humanly form. And lives far beyond your body.

Answer 5

What is a soul. How can I tell you if we have one when you haven't said what it is?

Answer 6

I don't think so. I think our consiousness is nothing more than neurons firing inside out brains. Once those neurons stop firing we are not concious.

Answer 7

Yes we do.
