The Spirit within...............M.C.S.

the life body within that makes you you

The real you. The part of you that will never grow old, unless you allow it to.

First, consider the soul. You may remember that the Bible was written mainly in Hebrew and Greek. When writing about the soul, Bible writers used the Hebrew word nephesh or the Greek word psykhe. These two words occur well over 800 times in the Scriptures, and the New World Translation consistently renders them "soul." When you examine the way "soul" or "souls" is used in the Bible, it becomes evident that this word basically refers to (1) people, (2) animals, or (3) the life that a person or animal enjoys. Please consider some scriptures that present these three different senses. People. 1 Peter 3:20; Genesis 46:18; Joshua 11:11; Acts 27:37; and Romans 13:1. Animal. Genesis 9:10; Leviticus 11:46; and Numbers 31:28. Life as a person. Exodus 4:19; Genesis 35:16-19; John 10:11. In these passages, the word soul clearly refers to life as a person. A further study of God's word the bible will show you that nowhere in the Bible are the terms "immortal" or "everlasting" linked with the word "soul." Instead, the Scriptures state that a soul is mortal, meaning that it dies. (Ezekiel 18: 4, 20) Therefore, the Bible calls someone who has died simply a "dead soul."-Leviticus 21:11. If you read all those scriptures in your bible, I think that you will have a better understanding of what a soul is.
