What do you believe about souls? There are many very different doctrines taught in the world today concerning souls that are believed to be in all humans. By most a soul is believed to be something that is wholly apart from the person that they believe a soul to be in; most believe that a soul will exist forever without the person; it will never be dead, therefore, a soul cannot be resurrected from the dead; most believe it will always live either in Heaven or Hell even if there is no resurrection.

A deathless soul leaving a person at the death of the person makes it impossible for Christ to have given His life to save that soul from death; if a soul had immortality it would already have life and could never not have life; all Christ could do is give it a reward or punish it.
