or body?
Kevin:Not directly, but it serves as the conduit that allows us to interact
with

that
>>can effect us.
Kevin, In your picture what is the soul without the body. Does it contain
our memories or diversity in any way or is one soul the same as the next.
What is life after death? I know this is conjecture land but I like hearing
how you see all this.
As far as the freedom side of us could there be any truth in this:
Say for argument all humanity-body, soul, and mind is physical. Events take
place or do not take place by environment. If God can speak into each man's
mind (I see no reason to think this unnatural if He is there) then the
voice of God is part of our every minute environment maybe inseparably
intertwined and unidentifiable in our "conscience". That voice could always
speak just enough to leave us at the pinpoint of going either way with
moral decisions thus determining our freedom. Ok this is some horrid mushy
writing but does anyone see anything in it. It seemed much more profound in
my head:). Will I hit the send button or not? Just to prove I can choose to
against all survival instincts.......
