Well, we are both. we are designed to be a soul in a body. death is the unnatural separation of the two.
“death is the unnatural separation of the two”
No, death is more of a graduation. There is so much beyond it.
Nothing can kill the soul. The physical body can be totally destroyed with not one cell left intact, and the soul is still unharmed.
However, the soul is held together by love and lack of Love can shackle it for a long, long time.
The human soul has an anatomy & physiology similar to the physical body it manifests. It is the source of life in the physical body. Without it, the zygote would not form and the body is dead when it leaves.
Religions, while mostly correct, are merely theories and philosophies of the anatomy & physiology of the human soul and how it interacts with its environment.
“Well, we are both. we are designed to be a soul in a body.”
This physical body is merely another stage of the womb necessarily for the soul to be contained in an area where it can experience the lower levels of consciousness. We are seeds of consciousness, just as Jesus explained in Matthew 13 when the disciples asked jesus to further explain the parable of the tares in the wheat. (We are the good seeds planted here in the field (earth).)
