Bible Note: Has anyone done any serious "soul"-searching on the original hebrew and greek words? For example, Gen 1:20-And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly and swarm with living creatures(Hebrew nephesh, soul). The New American Bible states in its dictionary: "In its first sense, the Hebrew word nephesh signifies breath, life, the principle of animal life. It was only much later (toward the beginning of the Christians era) that the Hebrews adopted the distinction (of Greek philosophy) of soul and body." Paul states the superiority of the Jews - they "have been given the very words of God." (Rom 3:2) So, when did Christians begin relying on the Greek philosophers for truth? Jewish philosophers had contended with Paul on many occasions, but he warned that "after I leave, wild wolves will come in among you. They won't spare any of the sheep." (Acts 20:29) Was Satan the first to claim the “soul” is immortal when he told Eve that she wouldn't die if she disobeyed God? Some claim he didn't, but she and Adam received everlasting life for their sin. |
