The Soul

Introduction and Contents

There are many concepts of the soul and what happens after this physical life is over. One such concept holds that we are Physical Only without an inherent spiritual aspect most call a soul.

They further hold that the wicked are destroyed or totally eliminated after the judgment. They undergo a punishment of destruction rather than eternal punishing.

The following chapters were submitted to a religious newsgroup in 1998 to fully explore and investigate these beliefs.

I don't intend to sway people from their firmly held beliefs. There are people on all sides of every issue. We cannot convince those in Christian Science that man is composed primarily of physical components. Nor can we convince those Adventists that man has spiritual components that are conscious after death. The only value in this presentation would be for those who have an open mind. My hope is, there are some here who are open to new evidence and are willing to consider new ways of looking at the evidence.
