This is a exerpt of a point I was making from a previous post that I was hoping to get some feedback on. Are we cloned? (Was asked by another member.) (At the resurection) I said: A clone is a copy. I admitt that. But we are talking new bodys anyway. The concern seems to be about the soul being continous, thus by definition eternal and un-interupted. If this is the case, why is there no account of activity while dead from the various people who were restored to life? It is not mentioned. The Out of Body experience is never mentioned except in non biblical reports. I have often thought that my self awareness (consciousness) (I think , thus I exist) , that quality of life that is a portal to the universe. Aware of ones soul and life. I think this is of and from God. Can I define it? No. But I am aware of it. That facet of being, perhaps this is a soul energy of continuity that God preserves. Pragmatically speaking. This is the part where no one picked up on before. That brain on your shoulders is the processor of your thoughts. For all practical purposes, it is the conduit to your soul. Garbage in / garbage out. Sow /Reap. Understanding, Knowledge, Growth, Experience. It is all in that brain. When the brain dies, the content depolarizes. So to maintain the soul theory. You get to take with you what you invested and somehow the organized thoughts of the brain live on in an either of a ghost. Organized energy. So you have to build elaborate constructs to support either soul status theory. One is recorded or maintained in Gods keeping, the other is self contained in a soul that exists someplace. | ||

Jim, you have brought forth a very interesting concept...organized energy. You wrote: "So you have to build elaborate constructs to support either soul status theory. One is recorded or maintained in Gods keeping, the other is self contained in a soul that exists someplace." I had never thought of it this way before, but I think you have boiled down the essence of the "healthy tension" between the two ways of viewing the status of the disembodied soul/spirit. I don't know which view is "right," but I am satisfied to let it be an unresolvable problem. Honestwitness | ||

I understand what you are saying Honestwitness. It is not a salvation issue, so I will take my time studying on it. Diana |
