Okay, because of Romans 2:7-9; It does say, to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour and incorruptibility -- life age-during.
And to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath,
tribulations and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both Jew first, and of Greek.
So, there are two factors here, one of a soul (mind/will/emotion) of a individual who do continue in good work, do seek glory and honor and incorruptibility - which is life age-during. (Some scripture says Eternal).
The second one, being of those are contentious, disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness, (Indignation and wrath) along with tribulations, and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both to the Jew first, and of the greek.
With this being said, I do not see where a soul is going to be annihilated, maybe you do, however I do see where indignation and wrath - along with many troubles for an individual (Soul) that works the evil.
Yes a living soul - the word for soul is Nephesh, and it is a soul, a living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion.
The breathe that God breathed into the man, the word is neshamah - which is NASB translation is, blast, breath, breathes, life, persons alive, spirit, who breathed.
So I do believe that God breathed into the man, the breathe of life, that made him alive and it was part of the the spirit which introduced the man to becoming a living soul.
Adam died spiritually when he ate from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil, and died 900 years later. However where did his soul go? Where did the soul of all the people who died on the earth when God sent he flood go?
Where they all annihilated? Where they placed somewhere separated from God? I personally believe everyone went to the Sheol - the covering place from God that the dead where held in which comprised of two compartments Paradise and Prison. This were all the disembodied souls of individuals had been put. There was even a part where Angels who gave up their estate, and were held in chains, who had left their heavenly estate.
The only part of human beings I see that dies, is the vessel that we carry around, that being the body, however when this body dies, eventually through passing generations, people are forgotten and no longer remembered because they return back to dust, they have no more sayings, or doings on the earth for that they have died. However their soul - the very living thing that makes us who we are - (mind/will/emotions) - couldn't be fully lost could it?
Considering what Moses wrote here in Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
God is immortal, and if Adam and Eve never sinned, they would have lived forever too ( I believe ), however eventually one their kids would have probably ate from that tree and then they would have all spiritually died. They would have been separated from God. However the life of God is breathed into human beings when they first enter into the world and take their first breath.
And for me personally (you may disagree), I believe all people after this life are resurrected, faithful, or faithless. So to say that the soul dies in the sense of it is obliterate is wrong in my best estimation. However people do believe that, and I am not here to judge but will share with you.
The Soul is not the body, but the Soul is our (mind/will/emotions), just as God has a mind/will/and has shown emotions, through the old testament, and also through the Word - Jesus Christ. Did Jesus when he die, did his soul die? From my belief, Jesus went to Hades/Sheol, and the thief on the cross went to Paradise with Jesus that very same day. This Paradise is not heaven, Yeshua had to go through what everyone else had to go through before being raised again. While being a disembodied spirit/soul - He traveled from Paradise and even preached or gave a message to those who were lost in the days of Noah. Three days later, he was risen again by God, and thus resurrection followed suit afterwards.
I believe all people will be resurrected faithless, and faithful. Jesus said something about this in John 5:29, and he should be believed.
On the question of the soul - How can a soul die? Remember now, the soul is the (mind/will/emotions) of an individual and it is what interacts with our body.
- If I sell my self out to do nothing but see gains in this world, will I not lose my (mind/will/emotions) if all I desire to do is smoke meth, and have sex with whoever I want to?
- Or perhaps eat all kinds of food, and gain all kinds of power and money and wealth, will I not lose my mind/will/emotions of the one I should truly be setting my eyes on?
- That being Yahweh and His Son?
Think about what Jesus said here:
- Mark 8:
- 34Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
- 35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
- 36What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
- 37Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
- 38If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
This is all I felt like responding to
@Phoneman777 you can disagree, or agree however you may, these are my own personal beliefs, and I am not here to force anyone to believe anything I say, but these are some of the things that reside in my own heart.
