Does the Soul ever die?

Question

I have read that the soul can be banished from the Maker (God)...but that is not death...
The individual works out their own salvation and they banish themself from their maker...

Answer 1

Jesus said not to fear those who kill the body but can't kill the soul. The soul lives on.

Answer 2

Well I do believe in God but not as a person but as a principle
and I do believe in Spirit and I do Believe Spirit is Holy or more precisely Wholly
and I do believe in Soul
but my understanding is that a Soul is something that is created out of Spirit by living a life

living a life is the spirit that entered a fertilized egg developing and meeting the world and programming a brain into an ego personality. Ego meaning just a consciousness of self.

The developed personality ego is maintained by the fused connections in the brain. Everyone meets life in their own unique ways and thus develops the brain differently.

But very few and rare are they that develop the ego into something that is so aligned with the world and also with Spirit that nurtures them that they actually transmute the body into something that lives forever.

Most people die
and their brain which houses the earth developed personality just becomes wormfood in a grave. thus the soul is merely digested away and the spirit which they already were before entering the fertilized egg is released from having to be that personality any more
and that is indeed death
There is what in ancient times what was called a second death and such is only the forgetting about what happened during the life on earth which sometimes outlasts even the skeliton in the grave.
Those who suffer alzheimer's are people that go through the second death before the first.

You are absolutly correct in saying
"The individual works out their own salvation and they banish themself from their maker..."
for it is the spirit that gets disgusted with the life of the soul and beats feet outa there and lets the soul disintegrate into death. Sometimes that spirit leaves when the child goes through puberty and the Spirit sees that there will never be much to interest Spirit and it takes the bodies decades to go through what impulse it had when spirit was still the driving force as in childhood until it finally perishes Spiritless.

So yes the soul does die
but it doesnt have to
it can save itself
but it needs to change from what this world gives it to being the Life that Life itself has placed into this world

Answer 3

I am going to assume you wish to learn the truth. You need to read a little bit more:

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.


Ezekeil 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die......

Ezekeil 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die..........

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death.........

Revelations 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Revelations 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Revelations 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelations 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Plain enough? There is no "banishment" there is no eternal suffering, there is a final judgement and a final punishment for the unrepentant wicked. They die, they simply cease to exist for all eternity in the second death, which comes after they have been judged.

This in in direct opposition to what God promises believers :

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sinners are not promised eternal life, they are gauanteed death.

Answer 4

World religions have developed a bewildering array of beliefs about the Hereafter, most of them agree on one basic idea: Something inside a person is immortal and goes on living after death.

Acording to the “Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary, often the soul is equated with the total person.” For instance Gen. 2:7 states: God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” The first man, Adam, was a soul.

The whole person is supported by other scriptures. The Bible speaks of a soul's doing work. Lev.23:30, Soul spoken of as being impatient, irritated, sleepless, fearful, depressed. Judges 16:16, Job 19:2, Ps.119:28, Acts 2:43, Thess. 5:14. At 1 Peter 3:20 it says: “In Noah's day, a few people, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” Nothing in these scriptures indicates that the soul is some immaterial entity that lives on after death.

The Bible states: “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Eze.18:4, the prophet Elijah “began to ask that his soul might die.” 1 Kings 19:4, Jonah “kept asking that his soul might die.” When he was in the belly of the large fish. The soul dies when the person dies; it is not immortal. Since a person is a soul, to say that someone died is to say that his soul died.

The Bible shows what man is. He does not have a soul; he is a soul. And because of what mn is, his nature, any hope for future life for the dead depends on a resurrection, a raising up. The promise of a resurrection, not the teaching of the immortality of the soul, is the basis for real hope for the dead.

Answer 5

According to the Word of God -- the Bible -- Yes!

Ezekiel 18:4 -- "Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die.

Matthew 10:28 -- And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Answer 6

I think the soul is the only thing that outlasts mortality. As the body dies, the soul is transported to a place where it shall be screened and later be sent to either heaven or hell where it will stay forever depending on his deeds in the span of his life on earth. Non- believers are always expected not to accept this so let's leave them their choices... for now.

Answer 7

To me the soul is the mind. Thoughts are energy. According to the laws of physics, energy cannot just disappear or be destroyed.

Answer 8

Life is eternal. Your soul leaves your body at death and goes into the spirit world. Seriously the bible is full of so many lies it's not funny. How can God and Jesus be both love and evil monsters at the same time?

Answer 9

the soul can never die simply because God is eternal.and if we earn the right to join his side, then we will become eternal beings as well.the flesh is weak this is because, Adam and Eve were bannished fron the garden of Eden.but through the proper channels can be restored.

Answer 10

It is the soul that lives forever and enters in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Answer 11

Yes, it's the second death. Those souls cast into the Lake of fire die.
