Your last response has me confused a bit on where you stand on death, so I came back to this one. I still agree that "soul" refers to the "living being, life, person, etc.", but the eternal-life part of the human. Every part is eternal, but only the soul is eternal life.
Now, to the scripture...
I don't disagree with that, as the soul lives forever, not duplicated, not of the world, but of God. The soul is the infinite speck of who we are. We are not this physical body. We are not this human mind. We are not this environmentally made ego. We are a speck of God, His breath (Gen. 2:7), if...
@Spice - Here are 2 translations of Leviticus21:11 that speak of the dead:
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And he shall not enter upon any soul of the dead and he shall not be polluted with his father or with his mother;
Brenton Septuagint Translation
neither shall he go in to any dead body...
We can always look in the Bible:
Stoning (Exodus 17:4; Luke 20:6; John 10:31; Acts 14:5; 13:9; Acts 7:58)
Hanging (Numbers 25:4; 2 Samuel 21:6,9)
Burning (Genesis 38:24; Leviticus21:9)
Death by the sword or spear (Exodus 19:13; 32:27; Numbers 25:7; 1 Kings 2:25,34; 2 Chronicles 21:4)...
Yes. Israel and Ephraim are often interchangeable...
The prophets used the terms "Ephraim", "Joseph", and "Israel" interchangeably, speaking of the same entity, the Northern Kingdom of Israel, the House of Israel, or the House of Joseph.

Something I noticed about the word 'Fringe(s)' in the Bible is that the concept of stoning someone to death is always in the surrounding context...
Numbers 15:36-38
"And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. And...
Again,
Explain to me how you see that as “Trying to give some kind of reason based on emotion to try to change the argument”?
As opposed to merely making the unfounded claim again.
Help me understand.
Hint; quoting the bible verse that has nothing to do with my statement doesn’t suffice as...
Lithopedion. Wow, I learned a new word today...
A lithopedion, or stone baby, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a fetus dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside as part of a foreign body reaction, shielding...
Hello!
I just wanted to point something out: where this verse says “person”, the Hebrew manuscripts (ie., the oldest copies of the Scriptures) use the word “ne*pes” or “nephesh”, which is the word translated “soul.”
So the Bible really teaches that the “soul” is the person, and that the soul...
Thanks @Ebionite . I wanted to share some thoughts on Ezekiel.
Most people have yet to understand that the vision was ultimately a prophecy about the Word becoming flesh.
The Four Living Creatures represent Nucleobases. (A, C, G, T). The Four Faces are the Four Forces of Nature.
The 'Wheels...

Part 7:
Now we have gone thru the part of the high status we can go to the low status in the law.
Here we know the thinsg women can't be in the law for instance they cannot be priest but can be A prophet.

Here the lord establishes what is law nad said...
I’m sure you’d agree, that there are already many souls “distant from God”, lol!
But people can change… we hope.
Yes I agree! (I almost said “Hallelujah”… did you know that means “Praise Jah”? Jah is the shortened form for Jehovah.)
Now here is something you might want to consider… what about...
My mistake... What I intended to say was that the soul that is distant from God will not have eternal life, but if we believe in Jesus we will not be distant from God, we will be near to God, so we will have eternal life.
The soul that sins will have eternal life because Jesus paid the penalty...
Oh my goodness…
You totally missed the main points!
You stated, “ “the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” means that the soul that sins will not have eternal life.”
If we follow that line of reasoning, then, since per Romans 3:23 we all sin, no one will have eternal life? Of course not!
Do...
There is no contradiction there at all.
“the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” means that the soul that sins will not have eternal life. Most Christians are clueless as to what eternal life means. They think it means the physical body living forever. It does not mean that, nor does it mean...
@Trailblazer , do you realize what you just wrote? First you stated “The Bible does not say the soul is mortal”, but then you post a Biblical Scripture -Ezekiel 18:4 - that explicitly says “the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
(Ezekiel 18:20 reiterates it),
and then you say:
Certainly you...

Part 5:
We continue from the last time we see women gave equal status. Women had equal status in the laws of slavery and we start from there

None of those verses work. That's like me saying these support my argument:
Exodus 5:3
And Leviticus21:6
And Jeremiah 2:4
What???? They're irrelevant and nothing contained in them support my case? You simply don't like them.
No. That's not how it works.
First you brought Psalms 82...
