A good article. Consider the implications of this understanding of the Scriptures. If this has been widely known among religious leaders (it has) then all this talk about the soul going to heaven at death is false and the real hope for the majority faithful is the future general resurrection not an automatic raising to heaven at death or condemnation to a place of fiery torture.

Thank you. The truth was actually known to religious leaders all through the centuries - although with a form of Plato's teaching mixed in, they had a rough time trying to convince others. Even the Catholic Encycopedia goes along with the "soul" being basically the result of the body and "breath of life" joined together. One does not "have" a soul, one "is" a soul.
