Prove to me that you have a soul.

Prove to me that you have a soul.

Do we have a soul, and if we do, how do you know this to be true?

Give me your proof.

The concept of a soul itself is difficult to define, because there have been so many different ideas as to what it really is.

1. There is no proof.

2. There is a certain "energy" in all life.

3. Humans seem to have a special abount of "energy" and consciouness.

This leads me to believe that humans posess the capability to be spiritual, (emphasising a certian mystical aspect of the human body).

You could call this a soul.

That should be part of this thread. In order to prove, me must first define. Thanks. 👆

H'mm.

Don't most people consider...
1) a soul to be nonmaterial, and
2) proof to be material (empirical)?

As such, it is impossible to empirically prove the existence of a nonempirical entity.

My beliefs state that the soul is the combination of spirit and body. The Bible states that God breathed life into man and he became a living soul. Presence of spirit is then defined by living. So, if you are living, and have a physical body, you have a soul.

Now, I think you are referring to spirit, not to soul, and so I would state the same. I am living, and so I have a spirit. Whatever it is that is not present in the body upon death is thus defined as spirit.

I've read that "Soul" in the OT really meant "being alive" which is in a living being.........And god breathed into them a living soul..........THEY WERE ALIVE IN THEIR BODIES...........Hebrew text in the concordance.

Also a study of scriptures will tell you this...

But if you are talking about something outside this living body, then I agree, we are part of a life force.

My cat has a body and is alive, therefore, my cat has a soul.

6. A person considered as the perfect embodiment of an intangible quality; a personification: I am the very soul of discretion.
