Answer 1

You are positing the Cartesian dualism and asking which of the "substances" is True or Real rather than illusory. You seem to prefer the answer that spiritual substance is the more important, or true one....You yourself state that "world is illusion." I disagree. I adopt the point of view of the phenomenologist. In essence, I reduce the world to the monism of the phenomenon. If something IS, it IS, period. There is no need to call its substance material or spiritual. Appearance can indeed be illusory, and can fool us, but phenomena are there despite any observers being fooled about their nature. I suppose you might call my philosophical stance a realist phenomenology.

Answer 2

So many things are not fully understood by man. I can quote a few, time, soul, life, destiny, mind etc are not completly defined in a precise manner by today's science. Soul is in heart, we all say. When we say I love you, we also say you are in my heart. But we all know heart is just a mechanical pump working all time. Only Brain is thinking and controlling everything. Everyday we are sleeping and when we get-up we know that we have slept for 6 hours only after seeing the watch or the sun. To understand soul, we can say sleeping as example. Our soul is dead when we are sleeping. Death is almost similar to sleeping. We enter into a different dimension world. Our soul returns back when we wake up. (sometimes dont return also - death in sleep). Once the soul is removed from the body, the bodybecomes useless, it decomposes in days. Even u want to use the body parts, u have to remove it within few hours after the death. We have so many Brain-dead persons, but heart is still working meaning he is alive. Soul cant be defined, but we know it has got enormous powers. This itself is a proof for God's existence. To disprove Darwin's theory & evolution the study about soul is enough.
Today the whole science is based on certain unseen faiths & beliefs. Example, in Maths we assume "Limit tends to infinity" and solve many complex problems. What is this Infinity? No man knows it. SImilarly in Physics we assume a smallest wave particle called "Photon" which dont have any proof for existence physically, then proceed with atomic physics. Without such assumption & faith, physics is meaningless. So faith is not against science, it is a part & basis of science. Likewise we have billions of wonders around us and in our own body.

Answer 3

Genesis 2:7 says man became a living soul, we are a soul, we do not have a soul, the entire person is what is being called a soul and at Ezekiel 18:4 it says that the soul that is sinning, it itself will die. So we can see that the soul dies, anyone saying contrary to God's word has no idea of what they are talking about, that a soul lives on after death is the great lie of Satan that he told Eve; "You positively will not die." Genesis 3:4. A thumbs down to God's word only shows your ignorance and you need a Bible study to learn the truth. The Bible says that God alone is immortal, 1 Timothy 6:16, nowhere does it say man is, so are you calling God a liar just like Satan did? We know what is going to happen to Satan for doing so, why bring the same upon yourself for calling God a liar.

Answer 4

Father/force/god created souls in his image with free will and with the same power as father only to a lesser degree. Many souls could not bear to leave the love of Father and have not left his side. Other souls ventured out and found or created this place(earth) As time went on more souls arrived. Once the soul decided to incarnate into man, it must keep incarnating until it has fully choosen to return to father through the choice of love or enjoys coming back here and playing the dominion games of this place, the soul continues on with free will, the man will decompose .

Answer 5

I am a keen student of quantum physics and personal development. So, from my perspective, people are a soul, with a body. The world we see is only part of the story. At deeper levels, yes, the world is an illusion. At our everyday conscious level, no, it is not an illusion. Truth and God are things you have to figure out for yourself. There is truth to the universe has an invisible base. Quantum physics makes this perfectly clear. Ones experience is proof to oneself.

Answer 6

A Man is a body and has a SOUL.
As the SOUL is immortal and so we could not give it a name or so this body is reserved for this SOUL as the SOUL changes the body.
We could not see the SOUL and so SOUL has no BODY,

We should believe in the Truth that SOUL is immortal and it only requires a body to remain in existence in the Public view. The body Dies and the Soul gets another Body.

Answer 7

(Gen.2:7)"And man Became a living soul."........(1Cor.15:45)"The
first man Adam BECAME a living soul".(1Peter.3:20)"A few people
,that is,eight souls,were carried safely through the water."(Gen9:5)
Your blood of your souls[or lives]Shall I ask back.(Josh.11:11)
"They went striking every soul."(Eze.18:4)"The SOUL that is sinn-
ing--it itself will die." The Bible is very clear, Humans do not have an Immortal soul or entity that lives on after death.If that were the
truth than the whole premise of the Resurrection would be invalid.

Answer 8

You are basically saying the same thing. But, man is the soul. There is no ethereal something that lives after you die. The bible never says that souls are immortal. It will not say that because souls are people. The immortal soul theory comes from different pagan religions passed on and incorporated into some of the mainstream religions that we have today. This theory has no basis in the bible. This theory is promoted by Satan. He is the one that told Eve she would positively not die. God said they would die, Satan says they would not. Who do you believe, God or Satan?

Answer 9

Man has always been a spirit sould part and partial of God. He attains a body, human or something else, and comes to planet like the earth to suffer and one day return home back to Godhead.

Answer 10

If I had to pick one, man is a soul and has a body. While the soul has eternal life, it chooses a body for earthly life. I think most religious beliefs would agree with this.
