Who Is The Soul?

Kevin R. Duncan There is not a soul alive who will not, at one time or another, be the victim to someone else’s careless actions, hurtful conduct, or even sinful behavior. (Love this, reminds me of the lyrics “Who am I to judge another, when {even} I walk imperfectly?”) Gratefully God has taught us that we can forgive! Even though we may be a victim once, we need not be a victim twice by carrying the burden of hate, bitterness, pain, resentment, or even revenge. We can forgive, and we can be free

The second lesson he learns, is how justly God “punishes” the souls in purgatory. All of the punishments, or penances, relate to their sin on Earth. Those who were excommunicated, must wait in Ante Purgatory for 30 years longer than their time excommunicated. With the excommunicated are those who repented late in life. All the other souls had penance that directly matched their sins on Earth. The first three terraces contain the souls whose main sin involved love that was perverted. The sinners loved

Black Mirrors of the Soul is the second novel in a series by Charles McDonald. McDonald takes you to the brink beyond logic while simultaneously weaving an unforgettable story. I had the privilege of reviewing the first book in the series, A Kingdom Forgotten. Had I not already read that book, I feel I would have been lost while reading Black Mirrors of the Soul. However, having said that, I feel that the second book in the series is much more accessible than the first. Both books are written in

resolve. In the song “Who Will Save Your Soul” by the artist Jewel, Jewel better helps us understand problems with society and how many people try to solve these problems with religion. First in Jewel’s song “Who will save your soul “she demonstrates how money and politics have great control over our life. In the lyrics “…Another war, another tower went up where the homeless had their home”, Jewel paints a clear picture of how quick we as a nation are to turn our back on those who need us the most such

In chapter twelve, "Emerson, Thoreau, and the American Soul" was a captivating section. This is because Emerson and Thoreau were effective and influential transcendentalist writers. Ralph Waldo Emerson born May 25, 1803, started his career as a Unitarian clergyman but left the profession in the 1830s. He was known for writing essays criticizing other authors in an attempt to change American life. Emerson wanted to reform the American mind and had tried to do so in his essay called "Self-Reliance"

should be obvious but yet it again it is not as we must be able to define what and who our enduring self is. In this paper, I will argue that we should identify ourselves through our individual soul, thus supporting the same soul theory. By having the same soul, we are the same person. I will support this argument by giving a brief overview of all the theories of personal identity then stating the objection of the same soul theory using the same body and same mind theorist. Last but not least, I will

paper is to convince that soul theory is directly linked to one’s personal identity. This paper will also point out an objection raised to the theory, and to finish will prove how that objection is incorrect, leaving soul theory as the only answer to what makes someone who they are. Soul theory argues that what makes a person who they are is not their physical presence, however, it is a person’s soul that differentiates them from an other living being (Perry, pp 3). The soul is one’s consciousness

characteristics of cities, escalates into a discussion about the souls of individuals. Socrates starts out by offering an agreement to the fact that since cities are made of individuals, their characteristics can also be found in individuals. From his writings, Plato exemplifies most of Socrates’ arguments towards the development of his own arguments. One very famous theory developed by Plato from

Numerous philosophers, including Plato and Aristotle, widely and differently interpret the subject of the soul. On one hand, Plato is a dualist who believes that the soul and the body exist separately. He states that the soul is external and considers the body its prison.
