Can a person be born without a soul?

Those are some good looking gherkins, one can only hope and pray though that those are not sweet pickles which are an abomination but rather kosher dills.

Yes I agree both paragraphs but their had been a place to start a string on cotroversial topics and was trying to start a discussion from a psycology standpoint and it way off base.. it took 3 days to straighten out. thanks, calibob

I agree that we are composed of three "layers": body, spirit and soul. I think that Scripture teaches that soul is a layer consisting of body and spirit.

I am lost at the rest of your post, though, not sure what you think that God's saying "I made him" changes or postulates.

O>K> don't be offended please. I wanted the Christian perspection on a Psycology question I used the words"without a soul" rather than "with antisocial or borderline personality disorder" thinking the way I asked was more easy to understand, I suppose I could have said empty inside but the the way things went I probably gotten a bunch of biology answers instead. Please everyone, I have gotten a couple of personal messages from members who were following the string and realized what I meant and was that I was not questioning the soul it was about MENTAL ILLNESS everybody! I have gotten enough logical, scriptural, and medical answers. Can we please talk something else, please? Thank you all,...calibob

G-d does not forget.......therefore He would not forget to assign a soul to a new birth.

Question...where did the basis of this question come from?

c....,

Beginning with Adm G-d assigned a soul to His creations.
He said ..."I knew you before the womb". A clear message that a soul is under His control from beginning to end.
How many examples need He list for us to erase doubt?

There is no other answer than what is given to us in The Bible.

The only way I can think of a person being born without a soul is if they were cloned? Will a cloned person have the original's essence?

A....,

Can we say a clone from the laboratory is...born?
Where there is human life ......there is a soul.
G-d knows us by our soul...not body. That is my common sense thinking.

Is this about the origin of politicians and lawyers ?

I agree.... I haven't read the whole thread, so someone may have quoted this already. It has been attributed to CS Lewis, but, research shows that he likely never said it. It has been found in other writings, though...

"You don't have a soul. You ARE a soul, you HAVE a body"

I would say the soul has to do with the communicative work of two walking in agreement.

God breathed spirit life into man he became a spirit being who was in communion with God from birth . The soul of man and the soul of God working together in agreement. Mankind sinned and lost the communicative relationship with God . He would be a living temporal spirit being with no soul because he has no faith to believe God not seen .God must do the first work and restore a new soul and a new spirt that will never die .

God remains greater than or heart .He knows all things and is able to judge the intent. Because or conscience does not accuse us but rather it excuses us there can be no divine spark as some sort of remnant left over from the fall

I think of the heart or conscience is dead .(no faith) No divine spark .No way to commune with the soul of God by seeking after him not seen and therefore no way to understand .

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.Romans 3:10-12

He must do the first work and give us ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. the word of God divides between the spirit essence of life and the communicative essence of life, our new souls

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.Hebrew 4:12

This is so inspiring....

Only gingers are born without a soul.

Every one else has one.

c...,

To my knowledge The Bible does not address this point sufficiently for us to conclude.
While I have seen some 3-4 y o's who looked and acted demonic I am not convinced they were born like that, maybe so.

G....,
I will bite...what does your usage of ginger...mean?

Red heads I think
