Question by xxrawrrxx: soul/energy or god creating souls?
Our soul is energy. and energy cannot be created or destroyed.. i think that we became energy? just as i believe as god became the universe, instead of saying god created the universe..

So god did create us? or, are we god?.. god is everything, the whole universe! and we all are connected with each other.. and our source..

are we raindrops falling into the ocean, as if it was god..

– most religions believe god is creating souls, and there is a heaven and hell —
so how could god be creating souls if creating energy is not possible. our souls are energy, then we, ourselves are god! (because god is everthing) we are infinite (but don’t realize it/believe it).. and since energy cannot be destroyed how can there be a hell where souls burn and perish, it cannot be destroyed.. as for heaven.. i think its where we return to our source..
god isn’t a separate being, that’s the problem, you separate yourself from your source and the fact is you disconnect yourself from people without realizing it..
our body is made up of atoms which is 99.99 empty space, we ourselves are energy
saying god is spirit is like saying god is nothing, its more logical to say god is energy, for everything is made of energy, and god is everything

The original-language terms (Hebrew., ne′phesh [נפׁש]; Greek., psy·khe′ [ψυχή]) as used in the Scriptures show “soul” to be a person, an animal, or the life that a person or an animal enjoys.

The connotations that the English “soul” commonly carries in the minds of most persons are not in agreement with the meaning of the Hebrew and Greek words as used by the inspired Bible writers. This fact has steadily gained wider acknowledgment. Back in 1897, in the Journal of Biblical Literature (Vol. XVI, p. 30), Professor C. A. Briggs, as a result of detailed analysis of the use of ne′phesh, observed: “Soul in English usage at the present time conveys usually a very different meaning from נפש [ne′phesh] in Hebrew, and it is easy for the incautious reader to misinterpret.”

More recently, when The Jewish Publication Society of America issued a new translation of the Torah, or first five books of the Bible, the editor-in-chief, H. M. Orlinsky of Hebrew Union College, stated that the word “soul” had been virtually eliminated from this translation because, “the Hebrew word in question here is ‘Nefesh.’” He added: “Other translators have interpreted it to mean ‘soul,’ which is completely inaccurate. The Bible does not say we have a soul. ‘Nefesh’ is the person himself, his need for food, the very blood in his veins, his being.”—The New York Times, October 12, 1962.
