Soul – False View

  • BIBLE (Correct): The immaterial part of a person that is what the person is in identity, will, desire, awareness, etc., and can be separated from the body (2 Cor. 5:8). It will be reunited with the body at the general resurrection and judgment.
  • Christian Science: The soul is “man’s consciousness – that which he has apprehended or developed out of Spirit . . . Soul is both conscious and subconscious” (Metaphysical Bible Dictionary, p. 628). Soul is synonymous with Spirit, God, the creative, governing, infinite Principle outside of finite form, which forms only reflect,” (S&H, p. 71).
     
  • Islam: The soul fills the body and conforms to its shape. It continues on after death and goes to paradise or hell. The soul is placed in a human embryo 40 days after conception.
     
  • Jehovah’s Witnesses: The soul and the body are one and the same. It does not live separately from the body. The soul ceases to exist after death, Let God be True, p. 59, 60, 67.
     
  • LDS – Mormonism: Souls are begotten in the pre-existence from god and his goddess wife and inhabit human babies at birth.
