Our journey as a living soul

What are we exactly. Without God’s Spirit / Breath we have no life. We are a living soul. Are we the soul inside a body. Is the body dispensable? Could we be a part of God’s own life spirit but restricted by existing inside a soul a container of limited knowledge and experience. Empty of infinite knowledge, is our journey one of reaching the divine and infinite as we rise up through the levels of Heaven to see ever more of the infinite God? What is the ultimate destination once this age is over and other ages have come into being? Is the ultimate destination for the Spirit that gives us life to be given back to God who gave it and join the infinite, or is the soul given eternal life, so that it is an infinite journey of knowing more of the infinite God? Whatever the answer and I tend toward the latter view, God is love, and we will know more love and more love forever and ever. This is more than enough for us to go from glory to glory and to be forever in love with the infinite God. When we experience this, we will be evermore fulfilled as we drink from the eternal spring of life.

    I believe that the soul is a combination of the body and the spirit. When Adam was created his body was made from the dust of the ground but there was no soul yet. When God breathed into him the breath of life or the “spirit” Adam “became” a living soul.

    It was the combination of the body with the spirit that made Adam a living soul, remove either one and the soul does not exist. The soul will only exist again when at the ressurection the spirit unites with the body.

    What about the souls under the altar of God?

    And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld. And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?”

    Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.
