Question

Since Animal FLESH is Spoken of in this Scripture as "Having the CAPACITY" of Being Able to Be EATEN by Humans AND is Talking about the Soul in the (SAME) Scripture; Isn't it (VERY) OBVIOUS that the Soul is the Person "Themselves"; RATHER than being a "Separate" Entity that goes on Living AFTER the Body Dies ???

YES;

Soul

Definition: In the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew ne′phesh and the Greek psy·khe′. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings.

What does the Bible say that helps us to understand what the soul is?

Gen. 2:7: “Jehovah 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.” (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person.) (The part of the Hebrew word here rendered “soul” is ne′phesh. KJ, AS, and Dy agree with that rendering. RS, JB, NAB read “being.” NE says “creature.” Kx reads “person.”)

1 Cor. 15:45: “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul.’ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” (So the Christian Greek Scriptures agree with the Hebrew Scriptures as to what the soul is.) (The Greek word here translated “soul” is the accusative case of psy·khe′. KJ, AS, Dy, JB, NAB, and Kx also read “soul.” RS, NE, and TEV say “being.”)

1 Pet. 3:20: “In Noah’s days . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” (The Greek word here translated “souls” is psy·khai′, the plural form of psy·khe′. KJ, AS, Dy, and Kx also read “souls.” JB and TEV say “people”; RS, NE, and NAB use “persons.”)

Gen. 9:5: “Besides that, your blood of your souls [or, “lives”; Hebrew, from ne′phesh] shall I ask back.” (Here the soul is said to have blood.)

Josh. 11:11: “They went striking every soul [Hebrew, ne′phesh] that was in it with the edge of the sword.” (The soul is here shown to be something that can be touched by the sword, so these souls could not have been spirits.)

Where does the Bible say that animals are souls?

Gen. 1:20, 21, 24, 25: “God went on to say: ‘Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls* . . . ’ And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. . . . And God went on to say: ‘Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds . . . ’ And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind.” (*In Hebrew the word here is ne′phesh. Ro reads “soul.” Some translations use the rendering “creature[s].”)

Lev. 24:17, 18: “In case a man strikes any soul [Hebrew, ne′phesh] of mankind fatally, he should be put to death without fail. And the fatal striker of the soul [Hebrew, ne′phesh] of a domestic animal should make compensation for it, soul for soul.” (Notice that the same Hebrew word for soul is applied to both mankind and animals.)

Rev. 16:3: “It became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul* died, yes, the things in the sea.” (Thus the Christian Greek Scriptures also show animals to be souls.) (*In Greek the word here is psy·khe′. KJ, AS, and Dy render it “soul.” Some translators use the term “creature” or “thing.”)

Do other scholars who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses acknowledge that this is what the Bible says the soul is?

“There is no dichotomy [division] of body and soul in the O[ld] T[estament]. The Israelite saw things concretely, in their totality, and thus he considered men as persons and not as composites. The term nepeš [ne′phesh], though translated by our word soul, never means soul as distinct from the body or the individual person. . . . The term [psy·khe′] is the N[ew] T[estament] word corresponding with nepeš. It can mean the principle of life, life itself, or the living being.”—New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), Vol. XIII, pp. 449, 450.

“The Hebrew term for ‘soul’ (nefesh, that which breathes) was used by Moses . . . , signifying an ‘animated being’ and applicable equally to nonhuman beings. . . . New Testament usage of psychē (‘soul’) was comparable to nefesh.”—The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1976), Macropædia, Vol. 15, p. 152.

“The belief that the soul continues its existence after the dissolution of the body is a matter of philosophical or theological speculation rather than of simple faith, and is accordingly nowhere expressly taught in Holy Scripture.”—The Jewish Encyclopedia (1910), Vol. VI, p. 564.

Answer 2

Yes, 'soul' means a 'living being'. I am a soul, you are a soul, all animals are souls. Because so many people love mysticism, they've got to have their belief in a self-aware essence.

I found this online, "The Biblical definition of a soul is simply a breathing body. Notice that the text does not say that man was given a soul, but rather he became a soul. A soul is not something a person has, it is the person. Souls have blood (Jeremiah 2:34). Not only are people souls, but so are fish and animals (Revelation 16:3)".

Answer 3

Yes.

As the questioner and others have noted, a soul can eat and a soul can be slaughtered (see Leviticus 7:18 and Revelation 6:9), so it is plainly unscriptural to pretend that "the soul" represents some otherworldly immortal entity which can exist independently of any body.

So what does the bible teach about "the soul"?

A "soul" is a life. Each deceased life is in Jehovah God's remembrance (with the potential for future resurrection), but the dead do not exist anywhere but memories until and unless the life is resurrected.

(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning - it itself will die.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all

(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]

(Genesis 2:17) But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.”

(Genesis 17:14) And an uncircumcised male who will not get the flesh of his foreskin circumcised, even that soul must be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

(Judges 16:30) And Samson proceeded to say: “Let my soul die with the Philistines.” Then he bent himself with power, and the house went falling upon the axis lords and upon all the people that were in it, so that the dead that he put to death in his own death came to be more than those he had put to death during his lifetime.

(Job 33:22) And his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to those inflicting death.

(Psalm 78:50) He did not hold back their soul from death itself; And their life he handed over even to the pestilence.

(Isaiah 53:12) he poured out his soul to the very death

(Acts 3:23) Indeed, any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.’

(Revelation 16:3) And the second one poured out his bowl into the sea. And it became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul died, yes, the things in the sea.

i'm a nurse by utilising profession, 36 years. the priority is quantity needs to get replaced in the veins and arteries while blood loss occurrs. you ought to use many distinctive beverages to try this on an analogous time as the sternum, and hips make greater blood cells, approximately seventy two hr technique. Hospitals at the instant are getting slightly greater useful at addressing the want for chilly themes. Jehovah states in Acts 15:28,29 to maintain abstaining from blood. it rather is a command and over the final two decades, there approximately, non witnesses are looking into chilly scientific care. HIV, HepB and countless different blood borne ailments are accessible. Blood is a sales pitch. Blood is Russian Roulette. It can not be screened for ailment and individuals at the instant are not constantly truthful while prepped for giving blood, or they don't seem to be conscious that they have got some thing. If the blood shouldn't settle for to three one why donate. Blood is life, without it the physique can not stay, consequently Blood is amazingly invaluable to Jehovah. would you enable somebody play frivilously with some thing very invaluable to you which you made? i'm not likely to handle organ transplants because of the fact i've got faith that is been stated it extremely is a controversy of ethical experience. would I additionally upload that if somebody takes a transfusion the nurses would desire to demonstrate screen them for reaction to the blood and it rather is then discontinued if a reaction occurrs. we are searching for for any form of an "allergic reaction". wish this permits. one greater element, we don't provide and save our own blood for ourselves as this additionally violates God's regulation. Jehovah is the giver of life, and if we lose ours obeying him then we've gained eternal life in paradise. ADDENDUM: the place do you get your information that blood would be examined? fee of doing so is astonomical and each unit would would desire to under flow checking out. Blood purely lasts some days and then should be thrown out. I even have not met a doctor which will assure you will not settlement a blood borne ailment if recent in the blood to be transfused. scientific docs have not and nevertheless won't assure sterilization concepts because of the fact to many have failed over the years. i'd desire to correctly known the source you're utilising re: checking out blood for blood borne pathogens. thank you.

Answer 5

I am not a JW but, this is right out of your New World Translation. Please explain this; Revelation 6:9-11; And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the SOULS of those SLAUGHTERED because of the word of God and because of the witness work they used to have. And they cried with a loud voice, saying; Until when, Soverign Lord holy and true, are you refraining from judging and avenging our BLOOD upon those who dwell on the earth? And a white robe was given to each of them;and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the number was filled also of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as THEY ALSO HAD BEEN.

Answer 6

You should have added that this quote is taken from the Watchtower Society 'New World Translation'. In the New King James Version it reads, 'And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be imputed to him; whoever offers it shall be an abomination and the person who eats of it shall bear guilt. The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eatern.'

The New International Version reads, 'If any meat of the fellowship offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be credited to the one who offered it, for it is impure; the person who eats any of it will be held responsible. Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten.'

That ought to put your gas in a peep. (But it won't.)

Answer 7

Yes, you got it.
