Do you feel having a 'soul'??

Question

if you do, what do you think will happen to it when you die?? do you define your soul as yourself(personality and behaviour)? if not, then how do you define it?


P.S: I'm a believer.

Answer 1

Your soul is your intellect which would determine character. But your spirit is the real you

Answer 2

The Bible uses the word “soul” in many ways. Genesis 9:5 says: “Your blood of your souls shall I ask back.” Here the soul is said to have blood. Exodus 12:16 says: “Only what every soul needs to eat, that alone may be done for you.” In this case the soul is said to eat. Deuteronomy 24:7 speaks of a man “kidnapping a soul of his brothers.” Surely it was not an immortal soul that was kidnapped. Psalm 119:28 says: “My soul has been sleepless from grief.” So the soul can even lose sleep. The Bible also shows that the soul is mortal. It dies. “That soul must be cut off from his people.” (Leviticus 7:20) “He may not come toward any dead soul.” (Numbers 6:6) “Our souls are to die.” (Joshua 2:14) “Any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed.” (Acts 3:23) “Every living soul died.”—Revelation 16:3.

14 Clearly, the Bible’s use of ne′phesh and psy·khe′ shows that the soul is the person or, in the case of animals, the creature. It is not some immortal part of an individual. Indeed, ne′phesh is even used of God himself: “Anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates.”—Psalm 11:5.

Answer 3

Physically, it weighs about 21 grams, as science has attested. They even made a movie about it, titled "21 grams". The bible describes it as a golden bowl connected to the body by a silver cord. (Ecclesiastes 12:6 Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed) This has also been spoken of by those in near death experiences and practitioners of astral projection or travel. Not that I would advocate dabbling in this. There are also horror stories of attacks by black, smoke-like beings, which were trying to severe the cord. The people sense that they were evil and were sick for days after desparately fighting them off to get back to their body. I think the body is merely a shell, and that the essence of who we are, with our memories, comprise the soul. The spirit is the part of us that is alive, with both spirit and soul living on after death. I believe every soul will come before God, who made it, to give an account of the things they have done in their life.
