dose the brain have anything to do with the soul?

Question

the brain is a fleshly thing, your soul is a spiritual thing what gose to heaven

Answer 1

Soul is the only true existence. The soul is pure consciousness. It is the real "I".

The soul is like the electricity that lights a light bulb. We see the bulb and the the light generated by it but we know that the bulb is able to generate light due to power of electricity. Similarly the soul is the life force which allows the physical body to function.

You are the soul. That is your true existence. The brain is an organ primarily controlling all other bodily functions.

You say "my brain" or "my body" implying that you are a seperate entity from the brain or body. This would be just as you say "my car" or "my house". So in that case, who is this "I"? Who is this person who is caliming ownership of the body, brain etc? It is the soul,

You are the soul and the soul is what leaves the body upon death.

Answer 2

Mental issues and brain damage always point firmly at the brain being the seat of all consciousness and nothing is farmed out to an ethereal soul. Some rather horrific experiments were carried out in the 19th and 20th century where parts of the brain were selectively destroyed to observe the change in the surviving subject. One such horror was lobotomy which was never anything more than quack pseudo-science, but became scarily common and accepted practice in the 1950s as a treatment for bad behaviour. The Irony was that lobotomies destroyed the frontal lobes which we now know regulate inhibitions and coordinate social interaction. The end result was people who were even worse behaved than before! The only solution to your conundrum is if the brain isn't the real you. The soul is the real record keeper and the life you lead is only a shadow. I don't like this idea though because it means none of us are the real "us." just walking recorders for a distant archive of data. With th

Answer 3

The brain produces what you would consider a soul. The brain is what contains the memories as well as self identity.

We are a product of the brain. Many people will state that the soul is responsible for the above as though it were a fact but multiple sources state that trauma to the brain indicate otherwise.

The electricity that people are so fond of is actual a reaction of chemicals.. It would not produce an individuality without the material means to do so.

Answer 4

The Bible says the soul is the blood, and since the brain needs blood to survive I imagine it has a lot to do with it. When the brain dies, so does the soul. When the Israelis sacrificed the lamb on the alter, they were to slit its throat and allow its soul to pour out on the ground.

Answer 5

We are spirit, soul and body. The soul consists of our will, emotions and mind. Our brain is part of our soul. Our spirit consist of our conscience, intuition and communion (ability to relate to God). But then our fleshy mind can be renewed until we put on the mind of Christ so that we are more spirtually conscious instead of just naturally conscious. When we go to sleep (ie die) our soul and spirit leave our body to be with Jesus.

Answer 6

The brain is part of the body and the body is mortal and dies. The souls is eternal and never ceases to exist. The soul and spirit transcends the body at death.

Answer 7

Your soul goes to heaven. But God will reunite your flesh with your soul and give you a glorified body one day that cannot sin.

Answer 8

Your brain also has electricity. Electricity isn't a "fleshly" thing.

Answer 9

I don't want to have anything to do with your heaven or your hell.
EDIT: What a surprise, I got a thumbs-down for choosing an alternate belief system. How uncommon is that?

Answer 10
