How?

>>575172

spirit (anima) plus the spiritual memory. So it's you and your experiences.

>>575195

You didn't answer >>575197 's question. How can a soul feel pain? Not "what causes a soul to feel pain"

How can a soul feel pain?

And I'll add to that, there are people who lack the ability to feel pain. Do you believe that they lack souls?

Here's classic Catholic/Thomistic teaching on it, have fun, it's not an easy question, but I think this is a great answer.

I think, that baptanon said that due to concept of hell. However you must realize that description of heavenly things are in material terms, so that everyone can understand it. Pain is a corporeal phenomena, counter-reaction of our nerval system. We dont know yet fully qualities of the sol regarding this subject, until we die of course.

>>575197

Think of it as emotional pain.

>>575197

How can you see colors?

All qualitative experience requires a non-physical explanation.

OP a soul is defined by your ability to be alive.The breath of life is the same thing as a soul because of genesis 2:7 KJV

>And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

That's all it is. Animals have the breath of life/souls too see Genesis 6:17 KJV

>And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

Souls can die see Revelation 16:3 KJV

>And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

>>575228

The soul is seperate from the spirit and body, read 1 thesselonians 5:23 KJV

>And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Spirit is pneuma, not anima

>>575366

So animals go to hell because they cant be religious? And if souls die then there is no hell?

/thread your face

Spirit is the breath of life. Spirit and body are one, not two.

>What exactly is the soul?

The form, in the Aristotelian sense, of a human, if I remember correctly; the Council of Vienne defined it.

>They are bound for the second death and not resurrected life.

Everyone will rise, both Saints and Damned

>And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. (Acts 24:15)

>And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:2)

About sociopathy. There has been some interesting tidbits to it. In east Asia, sociopathy is unheard of; a very extraordinary case like 1 out of million or more. In the west, it is said about 5% of population are sociopaths. Either chalk it up to genetics as (((those))) who consorts with the devil mingles amongst them or make up that 5% in the west and the east is relatively unmolested, or just the east has a better way of raising a person to not be a sociopath.

That is wrong, pneuma means air, animus means soul. He was correct
