Hello.

There are a lot of misconceptions concerning the word " soul". And according to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 The Bible is a letter from God and beneficial for teaching and setting things straight. So let me walk you through the understanding of the word " soul " according to what the Bible actually teaches.

When God created Adam, according to Genesis 2: 7 which reads: " And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living person or a living soul. ( Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a living person or a living soul )

If I read in the news that there are 2'000 souls in this city, my understanding would be that there are 2'000 people. Would it not be? We sometimes use the expression such as " poor soul " when we feel empathy for a visible person, who has experimented any kind of hardship. So it is quite easy to come to the conclusion that a soul is a living person.

So to answer your question of "what did God create without a soul " is a question that has no reason to be asked, if you have the accurate understanding of the word "soul " which is the synonym of the word "person" Genesis 2: 7 shows that God created a person.

Kind regards

According to 1 Corinthians 15: 45 we can read the following. " The first man Adam became a living soul or a living person .

The word "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.

Where in the Bible does it say when the soul enters the body?

Hello. The Bible is a letter from God and beneficial for our teaching and setting things straight according to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17. Having that in mind, it is important to take in the accurate knowledge of what the Bible has to say about your question and to be no more influenced by religious belief that has nothing to do with what the Bible teaches. So let's get started. According to the first Book of the Bible, Genesis 2: 7 where you can read the following. " And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul or a living person. ( Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul or a person ). The word "soul" comes from the Hebrew word " ne'phesh " and Greek "psy.khe' " which literally means " a breathing creature ". In examining the way these terms are used in the Bible, it became evident that they basically refer to people, animals, or the life that a person or animal has. Read Genesis 1: 20; Numbers 31: 28; 1 Peter 3: 20. When the term "soul" is used , it should be understood in line with its context. When referring to doing something with one's whole soul, it means to do it with one's whole being, wholeheartedly, or with one's life. Read Deuteronomy 6: 5; Matthew 22: 37. We have certainly, already used the expression, " poor soul" in reference to someone that has been through some hardships. Or read there are 2'000 souls in this city, where we do understand that there are 2'000 people living in that city. Don't we? So to answer your question of " Where in the Bible does it say when the soul enters the body?" Well! such belief are not Bible teaching but more of many religious beliefs that have been taught for generations up to this day. 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 taugh in Holy Scriptures. Kind regards


Is every soul part of the universal spirit?

What happens to the Soul at death? Do we see the Soul leave the body? Although we don't, we know that is what causes death, that is why we cremate or bury a body. Where does the Soul go? If the Soul leaves the body, then it has to go somewhere and it doesn't travel through space to go somewhere. It just merges with the Spirit that is everywhere. The best way to understand how the Soul is a part of the Universal Spirit is to blow air into a balloon. Where do you get the air from? From the air that is everywhere. If you burst the balloon, where will the air go? Into the air that is everywhere. So does the Soul. The Soul is energy, is a power and we can feel that power not only inside us but we can feel that power all around us.
