Spirit and then there is brain damage
#21
RE: Spirit and then there is brain damage
Ace I'm also sorry for your loss. I know you do not believe in God and because He is spirit you do not believe in the soul (spirit). I would like to tell you what I believe and it starts at creation. When God created plant life He created them with only physical (chemical) reactions for life and to the enviroment around them. Then God created the animals with the same but more complicated physical reactions that requires a brain to help control them. With the more complicated life comes self awareness, instincts, survival skills and ect. Then with the creation of man God gave man the same attributes as the animals but added the soul (spirit) for the purpose of moral awareness and the value of life, not just survival, understanding there is more to life than surviving each day. This is what I believe when it was said that man was created in the image of God. As God is a triune being as Father, Son and Holy Spirit we are triune beings the physical, mental and spirit.
I have a question for you why is it when we lose someone be it through death, a lost love and ect. it's called broken hearted why is that feeling of despair,remorse and ect. in our chest? If it were just a function of the brain why wouldn't those things be manifested in our heads?
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
