No No one HAS a soul that is separate from the "body". Research the languages the bible was written in and you'll see. It says that a soul is a life or someone's vitality. It even says that animals are souls (Genesis 1:20-21)- " And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath LIFE (nephesh), and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living CREATURE (nephesh) that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
Look at this verse as well;
Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV)- " Behold, all souls (nephesh) are mine; as the soul (nephesh) of the father, so also the soul (nephesh) of the son is mine: the soul (nephesh) that sinneth, it shall die."
Strong's defines a soul;
× ×¤×©×
nephesh
neh'-fesh
From H5314; properly a breathing creature, that is, animal or (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental): - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature
The same word (nephesh) is translated in the KJV into 3 different words- soul, creature, and life. and notice what the verse in Ezekiel said? It said that the soul of the sinner will go to hell forever, right? NO! It said it would DIE! Souls are not "spirit beings" who leave our bodies to spend eternity in either heaven or hell. So, to answer your question- No, muslims do not have souls, nor does anyone else! I don't know what the Quran says about what a soul is, but to a true discerning Christian it is by definition a life or the vitality of life.

Of course Muslims have souls. I don't believe you are (as a group servants of the devil,( although I'm sure many are and I include non-Muslims there) I do however believe Muslims follow a false doctrine that will condemn them.

You know, I never have really studied Muslim beliefs but I do know everyone has a soul.. Now, what you do with that soul is up to you.. If you believe Jesus is the Son of God, was crucified and will come again, you will enter the kingdom of Heaven..
I don't judge people so I cannot say you are a servant of Satan.. Only you know if you are right with God..
A true follower of God (no matter what religion) will not commit acts of murder and other satanic deeds. Whatever is not of God, then it is of Satan....

. You asked a straight question and will I give you as straight an answer as possible.
. As a Christian I can assure you all humans have eternal souls.
. I also believe Islam is not a true faith as Christ claims the right to be the only one to have faith in. As to rather or not you are servants of the Devil I would rather think you are victims of the Devil, as you are deceived into not having faith in Christ and him alone. Satan is the father of all lies.
. Mohammad's teachings are not consistent with the Bible so I reject Mohammad and his teachings.
. I hope you don't find offense in my answer but you asked.

The Christians in the USA have no idea what Islam is all about. Most think of Islam as Jews think of Christianity. But I want say this fact that God Laws are made of three Books: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?

Genesis 2:7 God formed man from dust and breathed into his nostrils and man became a living "Soul". Dust + breath = soul. Do souls die? "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20.

Souls? Yes--without doubt.
Servants of the devil? No.
In bondage to works-based doctrine? IMHO, yes.
As for what we think about Muslims, it all depends. I have been ripped off by Muslims (in Jordan), yet when I turn around, there is a precious teacher with kids singing songs to us. (we sang back and forth) Everyone has their good and bad. God made us all, God loves us all, that is why He sent His Son to die for the World for the salvation of all who want it. All we need do is ask for it.

Every human being has a soul.
Jesus told the pharisees that they were children of the devil because they had more faith in their traditions than in God. There is a sense in which we believe that anyone who is not serving God is serving Satan. But that doesn't make them a willing servant.
I disagree with your view of God and what He requires of us, but that doesn't mean I think you are evil, if that's what you're asking.

Of course you have a soul, you're human. All religions have their good and bad points, christianity included. So, I choose to be an atheist, and I'm happy with that. If you're happy with your religion, then good for you. As long as religion promotes positive things, and doesnt promote violence, there's nothing wrong with it.
