The three-part distinction of man is revealed in the Bible as being the spirit, soul, and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 says, “And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete…” Differences between the soul and body are based on the nature. The soul is indestructible, unlike the body which can perish. Even though the body and soul are interwind together they each have different roles. The body is a shell that houses the soul. It is the physical structure consisting of flesh, bones, and blood. It is the tangible and mortal aspect of humanity. 1 Corinthians 15:44 explains the concept of the body and soul. It begins with “it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.” The human body is not eternal as the soul. …show more content…

Moes and Tellinghuisen ask an important question about the disembodied “soul” and body which is what happens to the “soul” (Moes & Tellinghuisen, 2014, p. 40)? After the body goes back to Earth until it is resurrected on judgement day; the spirit goes back to God. The soul is the spiritual aspect of a human being. It is the eternal and permanent aspect of the human conditioned. Scripture dictates that the soul consists of the body and the breath of life. Genesis 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man off dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul”. The soul is the area where the Adversary operates to appeal to the flesh of man. The soul is the area where human emotions dwell. The soul loves as well as it hates. It is in the soul where lusts, desires, and immoral appetites arises: we are meant to abstain from the fleshly lust that rage within the soul (Peter 2:11). The bible dictates someone as a human being as being a soul. A body does not require

As Foucault writes in the Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison: “But let there be no misunderstanding: it is not that a real man, the object of knowledge, philosophical reflection or technological intervention, has been substituted for the soul, the illusion of theologians. The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect

Father Spitzer's Argument Analysis

1000 Words | 4 Pages

Father Spitzer presents an argument for the existence of the physical soul, and examines the possibility of the body being merely physical. Through the presentation of veridical data and a sound argument, Father Spitzer asserts that accounts of veridical experiences during clinical death help prove the human soul’s existence. Father Spitzer’s argument relies on veridical data and accounts provided by patients in multiple case studies. His argument, ultimately, falls to the amount of data gathered by the dead during clinical death, which can later be reported accurately. This argument is inductive, and provides many reasons to believe the ultimate conclusion, that the body is not merely physical, and there must be a presence of a type of soul.

Analysis Of Clarence Darrow's The Myth Of The Soul

745 Words | 3 Pages

In response to the long-standing philosophical question of immorality, many philosophers have posited the soul criterion, which asserts the soul constitutes personal identity and survives physical death. In The Myth of the Soul, Clarence Darrow rejects the existence of the soul in his case against the notion of immortality and an afterlife. His primary argument against the soul criterion is that no good explanation exists for how a soul enters a body, or when its beginning might occur. (Darrow 43) After first explicating Darrow 's view, I will present what I believe is its greatest shortcoming, an inconsistent use of the term soul, and argue that this weakness impacts the overall strength of his argument.

What Makes Us Human In Jenna Fox By Mary Peirson

574 Words | 3 Pages

The human eye can distinguish about ten million different colors, and our bones ounce for ounce are stronger than steel but these things are not what truly makes us human. There is more to a person than bones and flesh. What makes us human is more than the obvious physical state but rather what's on the inside, where you find personality,compassion, and determination that's what makes you human. Without a personality/emotions or a soul we would just be a body not a human. A good example of this from the Bible is James two twenty six “As the body without the spirit is dead…” this verse from the bible talks about how a person's body has no meaning with the absence of the soul .Another

Is There Evidence For Afterlife By Joel Furches

1041 Words | 5 Pages

“This idea is partially included in most forms of religion, with early religions asserting that there is a life that follows death and creating elaborate stories about the nature of this afterlife. Eastern religions held to a more migrational notion – not so much an afterlife as the recycling of souls into new bodies,” (Furches, 2023). Which beg’s the question if our soul still exists after we die, depending on one’s beliefs this idea could rationalize the idea that some part of us still does go on and would justify everlasting

Socrates Argumentative Analysis

1225 Words | 5 Pages

In Plato’s dialogue Phaedo, he explains the soul and comes to the conclusion that the soul is immortal. Through describing the last hours of Socrates life before his execution, he lays out three arguments in support of the idea that while the body may cease to exist the soul cannot perish. In this paper, I will explicate Socrates three arguments for the immortality of the soul and their objections. Then I will argue on the presupposition of the Law of Conservation of Mass, that the universe, entailing the soul, must be cyclical. The Law of Conservation of Mass

Alcibiades Plato Analysis

1013 Words | 5 Pages

Socrates in the dialogue Alcibiades written by Plato provides an argument as to why the self is the soul rather than the body. In this dialogue Alcibiades and Socrates get into a discussion on how to cultivate the self which they both mutually agree is the soul, and how to make the soul better by properly taking care of it. One way Socrates describes the relationship between the soul and the body is by analogy of user and instrument, the former being the entity which has the power to affect the latter. In this paper I will explain Socrates’ arguments on why the self is the soul and I will comment on what it means to cultivate it.

The Sense Of Self: Ralph Waldo Emerson And Walt Whitman

When people follow their own truths, they are “safe at last” meaning they are living the way they are supposed to live (Emerson 31). In other parts of his essay, Emerson says that the soul is light, that the relation of the soul to the divine spirit is pure, and that the soul “becomes.” Emerson consistently provokes a positive connotation for the word soul because your soul is the most important part that makes you who you are, as it contains your

Ego Personal Statement

It is only our over egotistical protective system and our substitutes for our hidden hungers that creates and manifests imperfection. I believe that body and soul are essentially one, but also that the soul is superior; the body is a temporary and individual manifestation of the soul or spirit of the universe. Ego is necessary to protect the body from harm, to provide for the essential needs of life, and to be the force that drives us to a purpose. It should be a servant, not a master. Yet many fall into subservience of their egos.

Aristotle Dualism Essay

Various philosophers and scientists have inquired about the mind and body issue for a long time. The mind-body philosophies try to explain the way a person’s mental state and processes are linked to the physical state. The core of the mind and body is that individuals have a biased experience of an inner life that appears detached from the physical world. Although they are separated, they need to work together in some way. Individuals may appear to have physical properties and mental properties.
