Hi Blagsta, just catching up with the boards, and glad to see the same things (even if I disagree )
I think we have souls - the body is far more than flesh and bones, science only understands a fraction of what the brain actually does, and the body does things that are just plain wierd - like if you think better you get better. not that this really explains why i think we have souls, I'll work on an answer to that!
The point about Peter being the 'rock' on which the RC church was built is actually based on a mistranslation. Jesus calls Peter a 'stone' - not a 'rock'. In addition, Peter never went to Rome anyway ...
off topic slightly
that reminds me, (I am a bit vague on this - its from memory) when Jesus says this, they have not long ago been in the world centre of pig worship (Gadarenes) (this is where the herd of pigs just ran down the hill in to the lake - the soul of this god and of the earth) and Jesus is declared as God's Son.
stone is right - but I think the context is that its not Peter who is called a stone, rather Peter's response. Its the "corner stone" or "foundation stone" of a belief - that belief - Jesus is the son of the living God
I think there is still some measurable changes when you see/are around your parents. Its a different type of love, a bond that is noticable from the first day of life - again biological
If you can have a read of DMT: The Spirit Molecule - an amazing book to say the least.
Also a good watch http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=1095220859246890757&q=near+death+experience
But I also believe that animals have souls. I once said this to a Christian, they said that my beliefs are bullshit and wrong. I asked them to prove that they're right, they couldn't.
:rolleyes:
Bit stupid if they do have souls. You can't pet a soul in heaven you know?
do be daft
