That's good. Jesus said...Maybe in the World to Come, I'll be able to play a musical instrument and carry a tune. There's a reason my church has me running the technical stuff.
"... Let him who has ears..."

Let's not get carried away. - LOLYikes! If I received Elvis Presley's brain, could I sing?
My definition of the soul is the contents of our mind.Reminds me of this question:
If you got a brain transplant, who would you be? - LOL
Sounds reasonable to me. So, in essence, a brain transplant would actually be a body transplant.My definition of the soul is the contents of our mind.
Which includes our personal identity.
In NDE testimonies the mind still works outside of the physical body.
With senses still intact. Seeing, hearing...
... observing the doctors while the patient is physically unconscious.
I liken it to the contents of a computer hard drive.
The data can be transferred to another "drive".
Our brain is like an organic hard drive.
In the afterlife our mind/soul/identity will be attached to our spiritual body/spirit. IMHO

Revelation 21-22 describe the New Heavens and the New Earth. We will be living on the new earth which will be better that the original garden was with adam.No disrespect intended, but,this implies no more football. Is Heaven a place where everyone just stands around eating fruit and praising God for eternity? Praising God is a wonderfulI thing, but I would think that, even God, would tire of that after a few thousand or million years. I wonder what, if any, temporal activities might be replicated in Heaven. Will we have modern homes with ovens and dishwashers or return to the "Garden of Eden" type of environment? I believe that we will see Jesus and reunite with our loved ones. I hope my dogs also get to show up. How do you envision Heaven? The Scriptures don't have alot to say about it.
Perhaps more like a mind transplant.Sounds reasonable to me. So, in essence, a brain transplant would actually be a body transplant.
My logic is that if my primary functioning persona is my brain, a brain transplant would merely be getting a new body, as the brainless body is just an earthly tool for locomotion. I'll need to check out the movie Big.Perhaps more like a mind transplant.
Did you see the Tom Hanks movie, Big?
Like that. - LOL
Although, I guess that was a body transplant, sort of.

Dear Adrift,My "mind" I associate with my brain, which is destined to be worm food. Are you referring to my spirit?
"Celestial Elevator"
That would make a great band name. (or album title)
Do you play drums?
Maybe Lambano could play bass? Power trio. - LOL

Umm… unfortunately, his brain is now, as you put it, “worm food.”Yikes! If I received Elvis Presley's brain, could I sing?
Well... hard to say...Some people think he's still alive.
There are many alleged sightings.Well... hard to say...

PM me.I had a really great reply to this (well, maybe not great) but I can't post it. People wouldn't understand.

I wish he was! He’s one of my favorite singers! And his “Blue Hawaii” movie is in my top 20!
Looks like the Donald!There are many alleged sightings.

No way to know for sure that I am aware of. My best guess:No disrespect intended, but,this implies no more football. Is Heaven a place where everyone just stands around eating fruit and praising God for eternity?

Yes.I would expect heaven to be a very beautiful place. I think our pets will be there.
I believe there are two definitions of the word "heaven."Yes.
Isn't it strange that we believe that our pets will be there, but our children might not make it?
