On the statues today we see on his feet and hands. However historians have found that when nailing someone to the cross your hands with their small bones can not hold the body up so they put the nails through the wrists.

The belief that people pass through many lives is called?

Reincarnation is the belief that individuals go through multiple lives, being reborn after death into a new body. This concept is central to various religious and spiritual traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism.


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.


Do you still go to heaven even if you give your body to science?

Yes, you will, if you give your body to science this is very helpful thing to do. I'm sure God would recognize this as being good works. In addition, salvation concerns your soul; when you go to Heaven you are given a new body. Your earthly body does not affect your salvation. While good works do not affect your salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) they are a byproduct of it.


Does the body go to heaven?

John 3:13 makes it perfectly clear that no one can ascend into Heaven except He (Jesus) who came down from Heaven.Human minds are powered by the spirit in man (Job 32:8). Think of this like a CPU and Memory of a modern computer. Everything the senses are involved with are stored. All our words and deeds too. Solomon was inspired to write in Ecclesiastes 10:9, "Then shall the dust (human body) return to the earth as it was and the spirit (in man) shall return unto God who gave it."Though the Scripture does not tell us why the spirit returns to God, we can deduce that it awaits the revival of mankind in the Great White Throne Judgement process when each of us who partake of this resurrection are given a new body and stand before the Lord for judgement. A body without the spirit of man within would not need to go through this process. It seems rational to assume the spirit being safeguarded by God from all evil spirits, is returned to the new body to re-establish the person it was. Then the judgement process may proceed.Another thought:1 Corinthians 15:50 says: "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." (KJV)
