You do know that “flesh” and “soul” aren't the exact same meaning. It's like saying “body” and “person.” Not the same thing.

Pierre, just to be clear, this is what I am arguing against:Quote geneis the soul not the spirit of men ?yes it is–Pierre.I do not believe the soul and spirit are the same at all, in any way.

SO, THOSE ARE THE TWO BASIC SCRIPTURAL USES OF THE WORD SOUL:1. PERSON OR ANIMAL2. LIFE OF THE PERSON OR ANIMAL.

What about animals? Are they souls?  Consider how the Bible describes the creation of animals. “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls,” God commanded. On the next creative day, God said: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.”…[Read more]

(Leviticus 23:30) The soul is spoken of as being impatient, irritated, sleepless, fearful, and depressed. (Judges 16:16; Job 19:2; Psalm 119:28; Acts 2:43; 1 Thessalonians 5:14) Referring to a soul as a person…[Read more]

Quote you say it is like electricity ,NO can electricity think ?NOPierre, I was refering to the spirit, not soul. And I said that we can understand it like electricity in that it (spirit) is what powers or energizes or motivates us or keeps us alive. When the spirit is taken away, as the scripture says, we die.
