The immortal soul is an uinbiblical doctrine.

The Soul—The Bible’s Definition

Genesis, the first book of the Bible, gives us the account of the creation of man and the other creatures living on our planet. It was written in Hebrew, and in the first two chapters, the word “soul,” translated from ne′phesh, appears four times; only once, however, does it refer to man. To what do the other occurrences refer? Let us see.

“And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul [ne′phesh] that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind.”—Genesis 1:21.

“And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving upon the earth in which there is life as a soul [ne′phesh] I have given all green vegetation for food.”—Genesis 1:30.

“Now God was forming from the ground every wild beast of the field and every flying creature of the heavens, and he began bringing them to the man to see what he would call each one; and whatever the man would call it, each living soul [ne′phesh], that was its name.”—Genesis 2:19.

A quick comparison of these three verses reveals that ne′phesh is used to describe all forms of animal life.

Now compare this with the account of the creation of the first man, Adam:

“And 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 [ne′phesh].”—Genesis 2:7.

Commenting on this, the Jewish Publication Society of America, in a translation of the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures, says: “The Bible does not say we have a soul. ‘Nefesh’ [ne′phesh] is the person himself, his need for food, the very blood in his veins, his being.” (Italics ours.) Logically, the same is true of all other forms of life described as “soul.” They do not possess souls. All are souls.

Nothing is permanent. Nothing. Except maybe death.
