Ask God, what do we know about God? Ask him. People can't answer for God.

It isn't an information question, it's a discussion question. I know the answer.

Thanks for your wisdom and insight.

(You evidently know enough to contend He is three persons. Did He tell you that?)

Yep.

5 The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. (Psalm 11:5)

13 "But He is unique, and who can make Him change? And whatever His soul desires, that He does. (Job 23:13)

1 "Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. (Isaiah 42:1)

19 O my soul, my soul! I am pained in my very heart! My heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, Because you have heard, O my soul, The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war. 20 Destruction upon destruction is cried, For the whole land is plundered. Suddenly my tents are plundered, And my curtains in a moment. 21 How long will I see the standard, And hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 "For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge." (Jeremiah 4:19-22)

8 Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul depart from you; Lest I make you desolate, A land not inhabited." (Jeremiah 6:8)

7 "I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies. (Jeremiah 12:7)

19 Have You utterly rejected Judah? Has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but there was no good; And for the time of healing, and there was trouble. (Jeremiah 14:19)

41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.' (Jeremiah 32:41)

Nicely done. I especially like the quote from Isaiah 42:1. God's own Soul delights in the coming Messiah, and will put His Spirit upon Him. When I cross-referenced, it's repeated in Matthew 12:18, and God's Soul is well pleased with the Son.

Isn't the Holy spirit the soul of God?

Is this a test? will we be graded? Do we get door prizes or candy?

God made us in His image. The question does God have a soul, since God made us in His image, then yes God also has a soul.

So does God not have a Soul?

And since Jesus was flesh, was He still God?

How or how not?

I think that the soul agreeing with someone else is The nature of the human and the unity of both material and Spirit (connection between earthly and spiritual).....so since Jesus was both man and God then He would have a soul so yeah Christ does have a soul PneumaPsucheSoma

man have souls

So, does Christ have a separate soul from God's Soul? Does God have multiple souls?

yes,

This is what seperates man from all other living beings on earth. God created man in his image, by giving him a soul.

For those who say God has a Soul...

What is His soul and where is His soul? For Trinitarians, do the F-S-HS share this single soul? If so, how? If not, which person has the soul? What are the faculties or properties or functionality of God's soul?

There is not one shared soul, There are three. Each has a soul.

What is it like? Well unlike those of man,

It has omniscience

it has omnipresence

it has perfect love, perfect righteousness.

it is a perfect judge. and executed perfect judgment

many more characteristics which man does not have.

All these traits are characteristics of God, which is what makes all three God.

I pray in hope that as many as God would read and without fear, do not constrain from using common sense.

If Jesus is God Almighty, then what do we call His BROTHERS? God is SPIRIT!

The soul is the spiritual image of it's natural counterpart,our earthly vessels.
It houses the spiritual state of consciousness. We are told to possess our vessels as the LORD possessed His. He has a soul and her name is wisdom.

Out of curiosity, which particular Gnostic sect are you doctrinally aligned with?
