Are there fixed no. of souls in the world? If so, then how does the world population increase?

Answer 1

In LDS doctrin we have been taugh that we where created as spirits before we came down to earth. By this doctrin I'd say yes, there are a fixed number of souls.

Answer 2

Logical deduction would tell you that since the population is increasing there are not a fixed number of souls in the world... it's really not that difficult to figure out.

Answer 3

A soul and a actual body (the body- subsequently making up the international's inhabitants) are 2 very diverse issues. My large-grandmothers soul remains present day with us, yet her flesh has surpassed on to the great beyond. on condition that her flesh has surpassed on to the great beyond then she is no longer counted for interior the actual inhabitants of the international. Her soul notwithstanding is fixed interior the Universe. My unborn youngster's soul is already right here as well. it might want to have lived a million,000 years in the past and performance lived many lives already. .

Answer 4

There aren't actually a fixed number of souls. It's like a computer game. Souls start out at a low level, like a bacteria or worm, level quickly (because life's prety fast for lower life forms) and eventually make it to humanity. Out back, in my compost heap I'm levelling a bunch of low level souls as I type this.

Hope this helps.

PS It's a totally different discussion if you want to assume souls don't exist - you didn't really ask that so I didn't answer it. And this is all my own opinion - nobody really knows (okay, I don't know for sure so all I do is speculate).

Answer 5

There are no fixed numbers of soul in the world because number of men and women are still on the process of being multiplied. Men and women are still reproducing children. and population is increasing.
