Is There Such A Thing As A Soul?

[johnny.5]

have you any proof ?

[Patsy33]

Theres a few of them, Mamya..:-(

[Peter Pedant]

ah what is proof said Pilate
( he didnt of course - he said "what is truth?" but hell this is AB so for accuracy I would score myself 85%)

Proof - a set of rules for proceedings in discussion
if A implies B implies C then A implies C for example - clearly these rules can change - you dont have to agree - you just say - my rules of proof are .....

and so:

pythagoras ( just saying ) got to a theory of souls which did not involve God ( hey groovy baby !)
Metempsychosis of souls
and it is here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metempsychosis

the argument goes
There you are Johnny all innocent
and you read this post
and you change in some way - you now have awareness of Pythagoras for example
but how have you changed - there are not atoms in you that have changed - etc etc but there is a change.
so the change is in something else rather than atoms
which we call metaphysical

souls are all about metaphysical fings yeah?
pythagoras ( auncient Greek finka) got to the idea of 'soul' wivvart duh idea of 'God'
now read on - see wiki

sozza boys and gurls - I swear I heard someone ask Is there such a thing as a soul .....

actually of course I mis-heard and it was really for the 500th time
" Foo! why da EUSSR do dat to VBC yeah? foo dem all!"
PP shakes his head and says " I had such a dream, I was on AB......"

there is no real understanding of what "mind" is as I understand it....we can see what it does but we have little knowledge of what it is.

[daisypotter]

I firmly believe we all have souls and go on to something else when we die, because of our souls.

[Theland]

Precisely.

[iluvmargie]

I too think that we have souls, but of course I can't prove it.

[Arksided]

I believe that most of us have a soul, the exception being zombies and vampires, (Mostly). Impossible to proove though.

[archibaldy]

If a soul is so fundamental to our whole being it seems really strange that nobody at all can prove it.

[sandyRoe]

Our souls show in our characters.
I don't know if it lives on after our death. I'd like to think it does.

Ezekiel 18:4. That says is all.

Do what?

[goodlife]

In believe the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew neʹphesh and the Greek psy•kheʹ. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal.
To many people, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these views are not Bible teachings.

There is soul music so there must be a soul. If you think this is a flippant answer then think hard about it

[Theland]

Music, in fact all art and cultural content has the power to move us emotionally, the soul.
I agree with the above, ∆∆∆∆
