I think you are confusing "soul" with "spirit." According to the
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, the word "soul" is used for
"the individual, personal life, the person, with two distinct shades of
meaning which might best be indicated by the Latin anima and animus. As
anima, 'soul,' the life inherent in the body, the animating principle
in the blood is denoted (compare Dt 12:23, 24, 'Only be sure that
thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the soul; and thou shalt not
eat the soul with the flesh'). As animus, 'mind,' the center of our
mental activities and passivities is indicated. Thus we read of 'a
hungry soul' (Ps 107:9), 'a weary soul' (Jer 31:25), 'a
loathing soul' (Lev 26:11), 'a thirsty soul' (Ps 42:2), 'a
grieved soul' (Job 30:25), 'a loving soul' (Song 1:7), and many
kindred expressions."

According to Oehler (Old Testament Theology, I, 217): "Man is not
spirit, but has it: he is soul. In the soul, which sprang from the
spirit, and exists continually through it, lies the individuality-in
the case of man, his personality, his self, his ego."

The soul resides in the body and cannot exist without the body. When
the body dies, the soul dies. It is the spirit that receives the gift
of eternal life from God.

That is true, Alone, it does not. A syntopic reading of the rest of Scripture is
the best way to do that. But that is well beyond the scope of a single post.

Has anyone thought of adding evidence against the bible, and people in
it, like Jesus, to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org) ?
