Our bodies are subject to time, our souls are not. They live outside of time, yet they did have a beginning- however, God zlways knew they would one day exist-

My only problem is, I cannot remember before I was born. Makes me wonder if I will know anything after death.

I didn’t mean to,imply that our souls always were and always will be. They had a beginning (i thunk- i dont beleive our souls always existed, but do beleive they always will exist once they are created- if thismis so, and i firmly beleive it to be so, we will continue on knowing once our bodies turn to dust again).

Like,the other fella said, thinking too deeply about eternity can drive a man mad (i had an NDE where i “went” the other way, to hell- i dontmbeleive my soul left my body, or,thatni actually,passed,over, and i think it was just caused by the high fever as i was dying causing brain synapses to misfire, causing hallucinations, but the experience left me shaken- i. It i was “given a test” where i had to count sounds- I lost count, and began to weep, and then a voicd said, dont worry you don’t exist, and i slipped,into a,blackness where nothing existed, BUT i could sense that i was somehow a lart,of,the nothingness, and it was frightening- foating around with no purpose or direction or meaning, and unconscious of things like time, cold/hot, aging, feelings, etc, but somehow still conscious of it all- it’s hard to explain really (now,you see why i doubt it was an actual passing over- it was totally unbiblical. I,guess the point is that it really messed with my mind for many years, causing me to wonder about eternity, and what it might be for a soul, and it caused me to thunk about time/eternity. If I had been “conscious of” a time before I was born whenmthe experience happend to me, wow! That would have been wicked freaky- I’m glad wasn’t really- it was a bad enougn trip as it was).

We are gonna get new incorruptible bodies some day, but till then we will just be souls awaiting that day, but waiting in the presence of God which is a-ok,with me
