No brain means no personality. Does that mean no soul?
***No brain means no personality. Does that mean no soul?***
My mother is at the other end of the spectrum with Alzhemier’s.
She is approaching being “alive” like this baby.
Because she is no longer recognisable as my mother, I too sometimes find myself wondering if she is no longer “there”.
I believe God puts very needy young and old with us for a reason. He judges US, (not them) by the way we treat them. God will bless this selfless mother. When the time comes, she will live in eternity with her son, who she will see healthy and grateful.
I've known folks with no personality, but I do believe they still have souls. ;o)
Brain is the computer...It is hardware.
Soul doesn’t reside in the brain, it is merely the means of expression.
This child is very precious to God, if not to humans.
This child allows others to act out compassion, nurturing and love.
What ever you do the the least of these, you do to me.
This little blind, deaf baby is Christ.
Personality and soul are different things as far as I can tell.
There’s no way that we’re ever going to be in the position of determining that so it’s better to err on the side of caution and presume that there is.
Let God determine the rest.
The soul is created directly by God and is united with the body at conception. Among other things, one can consider the soul to be the “life force” that makes us live - from that very first moment of our existence in our mother’s womb until it is separated from the body at our physical death. In any case, it is given to us at our conception, when none of us had a brain of any type at all. Therefore, questions regarding lack of a functioning brain are irrelevant. The child, however incapacitated mentally, is still a human being, endowed by God with an immortal soul.
