Answer:The question is based on the belief in the false doctrine of "the immortality of the soul" [that within all men is an "immortal soul"]... which the Bible doesn't teachBut, nowhere in the Bible does it say that "man HAS A SOUL IN HIM." It says that man "IS" a soul. A living, breathing mortal creature.The Bible further reveals that when "souls DIE"... they're DEAD, not living. They're unconscious, in a dreamless, dormant "sleep" from which they shall one day re-awaken [resurrect] and live again to face Judgment.In any case... the Bible teaches "praying for the living" not the dead. We can't do anything for the unconscious, unknowing dead by praying for them... but we may be able, through heartfelt prayer, to bring living, breathing, sinning people to "repentance" and "salvation."Nowhere does the Bible teach "praying for dead souls."
