Well, everyone here doesn't believe the same thing. There is no scientifically proven, complete conclusion on what a soul is, which is why the question comes up.

While the Creator of the Universe essentially owns everything in it, and some individuals willingly give their lives over to God, I don't think we disconnect to the point of losing the essence of who we are. God doesn't take back what He as given us; usually when we yield to Him, we gain.

In a situation like yielding our souls to Him, we don't lose control, or lose freedom of expression, or lose an object that IS what we are. People tend to say "all I have is His," or "we have no control over our lives" in a spiritual sense of humility and recognition that there are forces larger than ourselves.

I know this may sound like an odd question to ask, and I really don't feel like going into detail why I am asking, but in the Christian ideology, is it possible to eliminate or destroy one's soul?

'Selling your soul' is a poetic way of describing someone who puts material values before spiritual ones. But it does not mean that they have actually sold anything to anyone.

God retains ownership of every human soul, for all time. He created us, and he abdicates us to no-one, least of all satan/lucifer.
