[William Terrell]

It doesn't matter what we think about our soul/body existence in terms of the reality of it - it is the way God describes it whether we accept this truth or not.

I think our awareness of our souls existence leads us to awareness of God's existence. It is in truth true whether we accept it or not. But it's there waiting for us to work it.

I agree with the rest of what you wrote. If a soul can inhabit a gross material body, the body can become the material of the soul. It's all the same universe, inward and outward.

"awareness of our souls leads to an awareness of God's existence"

A young man who was thinking of following Jesus but the young man said he had to go bury his father and Jesus said "let the dead bury the dead" and that the young man should come and follow Him.

WHat think ye of that passage regarding our discussion? Is it possible He meant that there are those who are aware of their souls but are dead to God since they are in need of a new birth and new heart?
