God can save your soul, according to Christians, but if you fall off a cliff, you're pretty much screwed.

He can't help it. He's subject to physical laws.

Where do you get that idea that he doesn't. Let me introduce you to my daughter who fell off a cliff in France a few years back. Was totally uninjured by the fall. She actually saw the angel who caught her and placed her safely on the ground.
She was on that mountain when a small child (around 3-4) fell off the side. She managed to jump, and push the child back to safety, but fell several hundred feet herself. It was a direct miracle intervention of God that saved her.
DOES God always save everyone when they are in mortal danger is another issue. There are a lot of factors involved in that one. And God, as the Supreme Ruler, as the right to decide what he will and won't do in each situation. But he CAN save bodies - and often does.

Your soul is nothing more than the life you enjoy presently.
God has the power to bring you back to life assuming that you lived in a manner that was pleasing to him or died before you could adequately learn His standards. If he deems someone unfit to be resurrected, then that's the end of them. Period.
All that other stuff is just horse puckey; the by-product of the merger between Plato's teachings and "the Church"...

Okay... based solely I my believe in God as a physical being / consciousness, here's my theory:
Go to your computer. Save these words in a word doc. now print out these words on a piece of paper. The word doc can be moved from c drive to disc to flash drive, to different c drive. the paper will disintegrate after long enough. what if we are only "saved" as information?
just a thought... something to ponder while on the loo. :-)

bodies are temporary. Like cars. The life force, the spirit of life, is eternal. saved from being lost in darkness. The abyss gets hungry.

The body is made from dust, so the body will return to the dust, why the soul will go back to him because his breath is the soul

at the end of times we will be reunited with our bodies and live with God with a new Heaven and a new Earth - so yes He does save the bodies also

Yup, you got it right! God saves souls, never said anything about saving your body from death.

I don't know. I think because he pretty much influences the afterlife, not the earthly one, according to the theist line of thought.

All things are done in an orderly fashion in this universe. They all follow laws, whether physical or spiritual. Faith is a factor that supercedes facts because it is truth.

No one is claiming He CANT save a body, just that He DOESN'T. He has a new one in store for us - an incorruptible one not subject to sin.
