The idea of an immaterial soul, or spirit, is one that appeals to many people, either for religious reasons or otherwise.

The two largest religions in the world, Christianity and Islam, have a critical dependence on the idea that we all possess some part of our very essence that is immaterial and immortal. It is this part, our soul, which is judged by God; that part which will suffer for our sins; that part which is capable of salvation; that part which can go on to heaven; that part, they claim, that allows us to be moral and exhibit free will. So this is no minor issue: If the idea of the soul falls then the major faiths mentioned here are in serious trouble.

Surprisingly, as religiosity wanes in Western Europe, the idea of some sort of life force or spirit is still very strong amongst many people.
To demonstrate have a look on page 9 of this European report:
http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/archives/ebs/ebs_225_report_en.pdf

In the extreme cases of the Czech Republic and Estonia, although less than 20% of those sampled reported a belief in a deity, 50% or more, on top of this, believed in some sort of spirit or life force.

Clearly these are ideas that are very appealing to our minds either because they superficially seem good explanations or because they are comforting to us in some way.

In this video I wish to show that however appealing such a belief may be, it brings with it such a huge avalanche of issues, all of which have been unveiled as science has rolled ever onward, that wishful thinking or ignorance (of the problems) now remain as the only reasons to maintain a belief.

My hope is that almost everyone viewing this video will get something out of it. Perhaps an argument or some scientific fact you have not heard before, or perhaps an argument used in a way you had not previously considered. If this is true of you at the end of the video then it will have been worthwhile.

Thank you, as always, for watching.
Yours,
Jim.

    Is not a ravishement, but is a calling, is a return and a gathered up at command of the ours souls - which are embodied in the bodies of flesh and which at the respective moment - the souls with the them body of spirit it will raise fastly towards sky and the ours bodies of flesh fall down in respective place and die, because that they have not the them centre of command and the power of working.

    All the human spirits have an eternal life. But this life is a life of trial many thousands of years. If you evolve through continuous education starting with the faith in God, with repentance, purity, good action, holiness, then you will live the heavenly eternity in a divine nature and you will be considered alive. But if you are in involution then you will live a life of torture in the hell's eternity in a earthly nature or diabolic nature and you will be considered as dead

    Let say to you a spiritual personal incident. In the autumn of 2011 in Brasov, I was in a motorbus going at market let buy vegetables for winter.

I was immediately aware remained in legs.All travellers it watch silent at me. I was not ill and the conclusion was that my soul was redy let leave up, but he leave not, and set me again in working for a time

    In John 3:2 it show:"My dear friends we ar now God's children, but it is not clear what we shall become. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is". Viz, when we shall be only spirits, we shall have the capacity for to see and the unseen world from now; and we will see on the our Lord Jesus Christ in the his body of spirit. But this situation is valid only for those what die in Lord and are repatriated in Sky.

    For the humanity of today, a new sky and a new earth have them existence of at least 2000 years in the Earth's round. In Revelation 21:1 the prophecy show:"Then I saw a new heaven and a new Earth.The first heaven and the first earth disappeared, and SEE VANISHED".But in Revelation 14:13 prophecy show:"Happy are those who from now on die in service of the Lord! Yes indeed! answers the Spirit. They will enjoy rest from their hard work, because the results of their go with them"

    In Isaiah 65:17 it show: "I am making a new earth and a new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten".

    In Isaiah 66:22 it show: "Just as the new heavens will endure by my power, so your descendants and your name will endure".

    In 1 Corinthians 15:44-50 it show:"When buried, it is a physical body; when raised it will be a spiritual body...It is not the spiritual that comes first, but the physical and ofter the spiritual...Those who belong to the earth are like one who was made of earth; those who are of heaven are like the one who come from heaven...What I mean brothers, is that what is made of flesh and blood cannot inherit in God's Empire, and what is mortal cannot possess immortality

    We the men, embody us with the soul from God, but in a earthly nature or diabolic nature, which is the our first phase of existence in the zone of reign of the Satan angel, being us livened up of the his spirits(1 Corinthians 15:35-50); thus for beginning we are the cildren of the Satan, or of the devil(John 8:21-47). But on the measure of the our evolution through education in purity and holiness, we obtain the possibility of to became cildren of the God in the same space...

    In Philippians 2:9-13 the Paul apostle say:"God raised him unsaid of much and given him the Name, that is greater than any other name in order that in the his Name -Jesus let it bend any knee of those from skies, from Earth and from under earth, and any tongue, let confess towards the glory to God the Father that Jesus Christ is the Lord. So then, dear friends...Keeep on working with fear and trembling to complete your salvation, because God is always at work in you "...

    How the body of flesh without spirit is dead person or helpless(James 2:26; Matthew 26:4; or Mark 14:38), we must indispensable let us understand something about spirit. The Paul apostle say us that we are: the cultivated field, the building, the temple of the God, that the our body is the temple of the Saint spirit, and through Spirit we are not of ours, but we are together workers with the God(1 Corinthians 3:9;16 and 16:19-20; Ephesians 4:6).
