In continuation of my previous post..which was on future prediction..
I before describing anything else on that want to first clarify some concepts on...
SOULS..
Many people believe that souls exists..just because of religious faith.
but only few can describe HOW??
and support their argument...
And those who believe that soul is just nothing but energy.... they ask a simple question..
if soul is there..then "How ARE souls CREATED "
Answer: There are two primary views on how the soul / spirit is created. (1) Traducianism is the theory that a soul is generated by the physical parents along with the body. Support for Traducianism is as follows: (A) In Genesis 2:7 God breathed the breath of life into Adam, something which did not happen again. (B) Adam had a son in his own likeness (Genesis 5:3). (C) God did no further creating (Genesis 2:2-3). (D) Adam's sin affects all men -- both physically and spiritually -- this makes sense if the body and soul / spirit come from the parents.
(2) Creationism is the view that God creates a new soul / spirit when a human being is conceived. Creationism was held by many church fathers and also has Scriptural support. First, Scripture differentiates the origin of the soul from the origin of the body (Ecclesiastes 12:7, Isaiah 42:5, Zechariah 12:1, Hebrews 12:9). Second, if God creates each individual soul at the moment it is needed, the separation of soul and body is held firm. The ultimate answer to the question is that the soul / spirit does not exist before it inhabits the body. Whether the Traducianist view is correct or the Creationist view is correct, both agree that the soul does not exist prior to conception.
Ponder on this...until i post the second part giving more satisfactory explanation...which would be just not the religious beliefs....
