Your welcome!
God does not have a reposity of souls and we are certainly housed in the body we possess, not somewhere else. Did you address the obvious point that the mind or honor or courage or love or kindness are extradimensional? I can add to that list if that is not enough. Information, by the way, is extradimensional. Does not mean it is kept in some etheral registry.
Jesus does state that the poor man was in Abraham's Bosom. The Angel in Revelation 6:9 informs us of the souls under the Altar of God who had biologically died crying out.
Mind, honor, courage, love, kindness are associated with the self. The soul is the self, but the self is not the brain which allows the self to be able to interact with the external world. The brain is a remote interface to the self which has electrical neurons that fire, similar to how a CPU in a computer is an interface to how we are communicating with each other right now. Obviously, your self is not integrated with the CPU any more than your brain is integrated with the self.
You need to prove that the Self is physiologically integrated within the neuronic synaptic electrical brain.
Jesus does say that we were registered in the Book of Life before the foundations of the material world (Revelation 13:8, Revelation 17:8). So if we were published in the Book of Life, then we were created within his Creation System Registry (soul repository) before a body interface was given to us. This would highly suggest that a soul is created separately from the earthly dirt garment given it.
THe the soul is non-material is not disputed. Does not mean it is not housed somewhere. Again, the mind is not really material. THe brain is. Information is not material. Lots of very real matters are non-material. No one argues this except the materialist who thinks there is only matter. Most I met who are materials, refuse to admit that honor and courage and love and such are real.
You need to prove that the mind which is the SELF is local to the brain and is not remote. Again there is absolutely no reason to house something that you agree with me to be non-material. This is where the interdimensional realm (3rd Heaven) is the remote origin of the soul. You can appreciate that you can be fooled to think that something is a part of you if it is integrated perfectly and worn long enough to fool the self that it is the self. People who are born with limbs joined, that is two heads and shared limbs will fool each person who is a separate SELF that the body is theirs and vice versa. This is the case study of my argument that you have two individuals that is SELF A and SELF B and one shared body with two heads/brains.
Whose body is it?
If you say both, then you have a follow-up question to contend with.
Whose body will it be in the resurrection?
Notice if there are two remote souls accessing the same body through two CPUs/brains, then this forms the analogy of a dual processor CPU mounted on the same motherboard, where multitasking can be done by two users, hence two souls. In the resurrection, the earthly body is neither SELF A or SELF B because they were never the body in the first place and were only users interfaced to a biomechanical hardware platform.
The burden of proof that the user is remote to the body resides with you. You propose a theory that no one in all of human history ever thought of because there is absolutely no evidence for it and all the evidence indicates the soul resides in the body. The accounts of the soul leaving the body, not leaving elsewhere demonstrate this. The Bible says Jesus gave up his spirit or soul and the body died. There are those who had NDEs and do not report noticing suddenly that they were remote. They all saw their body as they left it or afterwards. They were not geographically separated from the body.
The event of the soul leaving the body and returning is like a user in sleep mode but the remote connection is still there until the user comes out of sleep mode. Comatose patients are no different.
The analogy for this is when you put your computer user account in sleep lock mode and when returning you have not been logged off, you just come out of it and start where you left your work or screen at.
It may appear that the soul is perceiving that it is actually leaving the body and reentering it, but it is only a perception until the user wakes up. When getting out of sleep mode on your computer the CPU needs to recalibrate the state of the machine like a state machine in order to go back to where it last left off from. The brain electrically is perceiving this process as leaving and re-entering the body but the soul is not doing anything it is the brain which warps the electrical matrix of the neuronic synapse until it comes into synchronicity with the surrounding environment.
So there is not a shred of evidence that the body is controlled remotely. And the full burden of proof is upon you. We do not have to prove what is obvious. You have to prove what is obvious is wrong.
What is obvious, obviously as they say. We need to sometimes scrutinize our positions and listen and to reflect. I believe that throughout my entire thread I have provided ample in-depth reasoning as to why the SELF is not the body and the SELF-needs nothing to be housed as it has never left the Soul repository of God in the first place. All that it has been granted is a single user license to log in to the matrix of creation and to use this temporal time to know the self and to establish a real relationship with the Creature Jesus Christ.
