Physics and the Immortality of the Soul

That link isn't working for me...

Try this one:

In tripartite theology, the soul is the part of man's cosmology that houses the mind, the will, and the emotions.

 

[Lion Hearted Man]

Try this one:

Define "will" and "mind" for me.

Emotion is housed in the limbic system of the brain, and does not require a "soul" for explanation.

 

[AV1611VET]

Define "will" and "mind" for me.

No, thanks.

Emotion is housed in the limbic system of the brain, and does not require a "soul" for explanation.

Oh.

 

[Lion Hearted Man]

No, thanks.

Oh.

Ah, so you don't actually care to define these terms? Your definition of a soul is, thus, completely worthless.

I thought you said I didn't define it?

You did, at least to some extent, but you based your definition on other lacking definitions. So when you didn't want to define those you've pretty much made the first one useless.

This post is about physics and the immortality of the soul. Is that not what immortality is: Memory? Perhaps this is more Buddist, but life is made up of our experience and what we have learned.

You do raise a interesting question because at the Judgement there seems to be more said about the Books that will be opened. So memory may not be a part of the resurrection of those who are thrown into the Lake of Fire.

But for the Bride of Christ. R U suggesting that she is going to show up on her wedding day with no memory? That does not sound like a wedding. That sounds more like a birth. People usually are born without any memory (that we know of).

Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I didn't suggested anything about memories, at all.

Sorry to say, but I fail to see how you answer my question.

Maybe I should rephrase:
Why do you limit god by saying(writing) that he needs the memory stored physically somehow?

If he is omnipotent there is nothing to stop him from whipping every memory into existence from nothing.

I see.

So feel free to define what you mean by "will" and "mind". But if you don't, you're still leaving your definition of "soul" with gaping holes.

I did not give a definition of 'soul' -- please go back and look at Post 98, which I'm sure you're trying your best to make me regret I posted; and it's not going to work.

Go badger someone else.

Actually you provided with a definition:
"In tripartite theology, the soul is the part of man's cosmology that houses the mind, the will, and the emotions."

You defined what area it's applied in (tripartite theology), what part it is of something bigger (man's cosmology) and what it contains (the mind, the will and the emotions).

Though it leaves me with the questions what the definition for tripartite theology is (sounds like the trinity though), what the definition for man's cosmology is and what the definition for mind and will is.

Definitions aren't that complicated

 

[AV1611VET]

Actually you provided with a definition:

Well, someone needs to make up my mind, eh?

Here, you're getting into what we call deep theology.

You did attempt to define 'soul':

You replied to this post...

Unless you define "SOUL" then there is nothing more to be said. You are obviously basing everything on pure speculation and hearsay. Science does not work that way.

with this...

In tripartite theology, the soul is the part of man's cosmology that houses the mind, the will, and the emotions.

which is a definition.

No, I won't stop badgering you. I consider it community service to chat with you.

Let's go deeper, and define the words in your definition. I think that most everything you attribute to the "soul" can be attributed quite easily to the "body" in the brain.

Preferably you

And what is the definition for deep theology? (joke)

I have a mind to call them back --

Soul / Psyche

1. the human faculty for thought, judgment, and emotion; the mental life, including both conscious and unconscious processes; the mind in its totality, as distinguished from the body.

2.The mind functioning as the center of thought, emotion, and behavior and consciously or unconsciously adjusting or mediating the body's responses to the social and physical environment.

But can you distinguish the mind from the body? I argue no. Thought, judgement, and emotion are all processes by the body (more specifically, the brain, obviously). Destruction of neurons results in loss of these processes...they are completely dependent on the brain...

That link isn't working for me for some reason, but I'm assuming you're trying to define the "soul".

The soul is the eternal aspect of man. The physical body being the outermost portion, the shell, tent, clay, skin, etc that is shed. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." (2 Cor 5:1)

You cannot know that there is an eternal aspect of man.
