Not when you consider that Genesis 2:7 KJV says
the Soul is the whole comprised of the two parts: the Body and Breath. Read
Isaiah 28:9-13 KJV
I can't let you get away with this outright falsehood.
Genesis 2:7 KJV absolutely says that the Soul comes into existence as a consequence of the union of the Body and the Breath.
You're not understanding that "the breath" consists of our soul and spirit. The soul and spirit are two different parts of us, yet very closely connected, as the following verse indicates:
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
And, again, as Paul clearly taught, and as you unwisely deny, the whole person consists of body, soul and spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God
your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul very clearly indicated here that "you wholly" consists of "your whole spirit and soul and body". You can deny this all you want, but it couldn't be more clear. Only doctrinal bias can prevent someone from seeing and understanding what Paul said here.
The "Soul" is the "whole" the "I" the "ego" the "self" the "individual". It's not a poltergeist that flies off at death.
Again, you are not understanding that the word "soul" has more than one definition. We are souls in the sense that we are human beings. In that case "soul" is simply another word for person or human being. But, we also have three parts to us, one of which is the soul with the other two being the body and the spirit. This is what scripture teaches.
Do you always establish doctrine by taking as literal passages from the most symbolic books of Scripture?
Of course not. But, it isn't as if doctrine can't be supported by non-literal scripture. Please don't tell me that is what you're trying to say? Can doctrine not be based partly on what Jesus taught in parables? It most certainly can! But, my doctrine is not based solely on non-literal passages. It is based primarily on literal passages, but it's foolish to think that we can't also include non-literal passages as part of the foundation of our doctrine.
Blood is what ran down under the altar and "the life (Hebrew: "Nephesh" aka "Soul") is in the blood" ... so "souls under the altar crying out" is symbolic for "the injustice of martyrs sacrificed for the truth's sake crying out to God for retribution".
"Souls" are not immortal!
James says conversion saves a soul from "death".
Ezekiel says the soul that sinneth "shall die".
Paul says we "seek for immortality" - which means we ain't got it!
Paul also says God "only hath immortality" - which means neither you nor I nor Hitler have it.
The point is that not everyone is as duped as you are.
You are the duped one and that is very clear. God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and He is the God of the living and not the dead. If your doctrine was true, which it most certainly is not, then God would not be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Luther said the ideas of the Immortal Soul crowd are scooped straight off the top of "the (papal) Roman dunghill of decretals".
Luther? Why do you worship fallible men like Tyndale and Luther? That is your downfall. You put man on too high of a pedestal and don't put the Word of God on high enough of a pedestal. You cherry pick the word of God to form doctrine rather than using ALL of it to form doctrine.
You absolutely agree with catholicism on core issues, like immortality of the soul, eternal torment, salvation apart from repentance, innocent of the charge it is the papal Antichrist, Jesuit eschatology, Sunday significance, ecumenicalism - right?
You are a liar. Why do you think it's okay to lie? You need to stop criticizing me falsely and look in the mirror and figure out why you think it's okay to lie and you need to repent of that.
It is a lie for you to say that I believe in "salvation apart from repentance". Wrong! I do not believe that and never indicated as such!
It is a lie for you to say that I believe in "Jesuit eschatology" which you indicated before applies to preterists and futurists. I am neither a preterist nor a futurist and I do not hold to "Jesuit eschatology".
I don't even know what "innocent of the charge it is the papal Antichrist" means. What is that supposed to mean?
Sunday significance? What does that mean? Every day is significant to me. Every day I praise the Lord for what He has done and every day I rest in the Lord of the sabbath.
And what do you mean by "ecumenicalism" exactly? I know what the word means generally, but what are you intending to say there exactly? I don't want to guess.
