Cause and effect, you do the cause, God does the effect. Do you agree. No connection between the body and soul. Agree but disagree, understand it somewhat but not totally. You decide to raise your arm, and God makes it happen, you thing and God makes it manifest. How can this be right, when non christians also works like this.

Not exactly. More like God gave you the arm you decided to raise. He can also take that arm back if he wants to.

Never heard of such an idea. Probably because it's nonsense.

It's difficult not to make jokes for me. Especially when it reads like silly bait.

The Soul is us. Not our body's. The body is where we reside. It's temporary. The soul is eternal. Got it?

It is a thing from a philosopher. I was hoping somebody knew about it. It is on my books to read list unless somebody could give input after readingof it..

Get too deep into philosophy and you can start doubting your own existence.

"Philosophy
Is a doggone
Cereal-box religion
It's a smile on a dog"
