“5. Man has a natural desire to live forever.”

That sounds more like wishful thinking than a proof.

Heavy & contentious topic. :) There is a concept of “Karma” in Hindu tradition. In Persian/Zoroastrian is called “Kar_e Maah” (result of our actions/deeds). It’s part of Natural Law. What attracts & what repels. Re-incarnation, as in coming back to Earth, being part of material life, as we know it? I’m not so sure. But, personally I believe there is a distinction between soul and body; the former may just move on..

4. The Intellect Can Reflect Upon Its Own Act of Knowledge

My intellect constantly reflects on that. Oh, I thought it said lack of knowledge.

The FALSE DOCTRINE of the "immortality of the soul" is one of Satan's greatest deceptions!

Genesis 3:19; Genesis 2:7
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance - (5315) nephesh; a breathing creature

Genesis 1:20; vs 21; vs 24; vs 25
Roman Catholic and Anglican doctrines in the sixteen hundreds did not dare render the word nephesh as "soul" in these passages!
Numbers 19:11 (dead BODY); vs 22 (soul)
Ezekiel 18:4 ; vs 20 (the soul that sinneth IT shall DIE! )
Leviticus 19:22; 21:1, 22:4; Numbers 5:2; Numbers 6:11
Numbers 9:6, 7, 10
Leviticus 21:11, Numbers 6:6; 19:11, 13, and also in Haggai 2:1, 3
Revelation 8:9
Revelation 16:3

Acts 2:41-43; 3:23; 7:14; 27:37; Romans 2:9; 13: 1; 1 Corinthians 15:45; James 5:20; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:14; Revelation 6:9; 18:13; 20:4

Matthew 16:25 ; vs 26 (soul vs life) (should be "life" in verse 26)
Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20
Job 14:1, 2
1 Corinthians 15:50-52
Job 14:12-15
Psalm 49:12-20
Psalms 116:15
Romans chapter 8, all of it, then read verse 29 again!

I SAY AGAIN:

"Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniquities. "

“I think that the Christian religion is the one religion that most clearly deserves to be honored and respected whether or not its claim to be a divine revelation is true.”

Dont usually read any of the religious posts but this is an accurate comment from my perspective..... and you can sure get roasted on this site for saying things like that.

Of course when the bible is ACTUALLY consulted one very quickly sees that there is no such thing as an immortal soul:

1Ti 6:13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
1Ti 6:14 that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,
1Ti 6:15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 1Ti 6:16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

Nobody has immortality except Christ.

Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, Joh 3:15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

The choices are "to perish"...and the greek means to be fully destroyed...versus "eternal life". Immortality. Man without Christ does not have any kind of eternal life nor immortality.

1Co 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—
1Co 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

A mortal can only put on immortality when Christ returns, at the last trumpet.

There is no "natural" immortality. For Christians the doctrine of the immortal soul WITHOUT Christ should be seen as blasphemous for it proposes immortality WITHOUT Christ.

Rom_6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Eternal life, immortality, is a gift from God. Not accepting that gift means that one is NOT immortal.
