Matthew 9:18…the ruler said….”My daughter has just died” it was apparent to all….continuing v. 24…Jesus says…”The girl is not dead but asleep. But they laughed at him.”

Maybe she was really sleeping but they thought she was dead.

The soul is understood as corruptible….re ‘the soul that sins’ and 1 Peter 1:22 speaks of ‘purifying the soul’. Nowhere can one find reference to purifying the Spirit of God.

Okay, clear.

Is the soul immortal ? Yes or no……:).???????????????
In this dimension?????

How wonderful is the ability to imagine, to go beyond the senses. It become possible for us to think outside the confines/bondages of our present perceptual reality. Sometimes ' Stepping outside of the box ' we build around ourselves we can open the door to countless possibilities....

I watched a video of the Dalai Lama, and he said they did an experiment with one of his meditation masters. The master can put himself in a state where science says: this man is dead. But then he "comes back to life".

I would say this man in the vid has Christ-like consciousness, however is not THE Christ.

Jesus resurrected Lazarus, and he was dead for what was it, 3 days. He reeked of death and Jesus wept at his tomb it is said, death one day will be no more.

Is Christ consciousness confined to a single person ? (Christ )

When speaking of the soul we should be thoughtful in the way we conceive of it. In truth perhaps we should think that a person does not have a soul but is a soul. Once again intuitively we know this…when we speak of another ‘soul’ we are thinking of the entire person…not just some visualization of a body.

I personally do not believe that I have a soul, never have since my childhood.... I remember asking in a Religious Instructions class 'What is a soul' I'm still waiting for the answer

Sky,

No one even offered an answer ? Or you rejected their explanations ?
