You really didn't, but that's why I asked again.
You said something about science not being able to measure it or some such thing. This bit of theology doesn't come close to answering why that might be. (You can answer my questions in the negative, but until you do, I don't know what your "soul" concept is or how measurable or unmeasurable it is.
I never went to school on Sundays, so no, I don't want theology for children.
In the real world we measure stuff. If we can't measure it, then at least let me know what about it is unmeasurable.
I don't know that movie. Your reference is not meaningful to me.
No, movies don't answer my question at all. I want to know if the soul is physical or if it can survive death, etc. Those are claims I can grasp as testable by measurement or untestable. That's all I want to know.
I'm not interested.
I haven't and have no interest or intent to study Hebrew. I have no use for it. I have no desire to read Hebrew literature or travel where it is spoken.
I haven't been asking about narratives or interpretive frameworks. I didn't come into this section of CF to discuss narratives or literature or feelings or traditions.
I didn't. The Babylonians did that 2600 years ago and kingdom of Judah was no more. (I lack the army or time machine to do so.)
What??!?!??
Exactly. You’re not interested. You won’t be here for the Kingdom Age, so justice doesn’t matter to you.
There’s nothing to show. We can throw the word “soul” in the trash can because it has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.
Really, you are changing your tune now because you said I said nothing.
I do NOT have a concept. We are talking about a word in the KJV.
You know it is a movie. Here is a quick summery A crowd gathers at the jail at night, ready to take the prisoner and kill him before the trial. As a group they stop thinking and act on shared anger. One small, unexpected moment of human connection breaks the spell, and the mob quietly disperses as they become individuals and no longer a crowd.
When I mention Judaism, people often attack them, so this is just preventive on my part because of my association with Holocaust survivors. I assume you’re not interested in those stories, but it does make us more sensitive to persecution.
I have no idea what that "age" is. It seems to be some sort of religious term, but not one I ever heard.
I want to know what you meant by souls not being detectable by science. This is the science section after all.
Don't know that one either.
I'm not sure you want to bring up such topics while quoting religion.
Oh boy, you're one of those people.
I haven't attacked them, but I don't take their religion any more seriously than I take the Jesus stuff. (Which is not at all.)
I am not. I still want to know what you meant about souls and science. (And quit cutting off most of my text in the reply. I get responding to parts of posts and not including the part not responded to, but mid sentence is not polite.)
You do not have a soul concept? Do you not belive in them? If not, then fine, I don't either and we can stop.
Which word? The only word I recall (other than "soul") you having a thing about was some Hebrew word in the Hebrew text of Gen 2. I don't know the KJV or put much credit in it as I have never been English or Protestant.
OK, but that's got nothing to do with the detection of souls (or the undetectability there of). [I think the movie stars the same guy who was in that annoying Christmas movie with the "angel getting wings" line about bells and that awful movie about Congress. I can't remember his name right now.]
The main Hebrew word for “breath” is neshamah (נְשָׁמָה). If you do not want to look at the meaning of this Hebrew word then we do not have a conversation.
You included only the first few words of a full sentence that together gave no idea what I was talking about and then accused me of changing my tune. That's disreputable. Be better.
You've made some claims and invoked science in this post. I have questions about this for the science section.
Because you made a claim about souls related to science on the science board. You have dodged every last attempt to ask questions about that post and instead would rather talk about obscure words.
