Question on the Soul?

In my opinion,our souls are significantly different from the start but are effected by our experiences to change further. A constant state of change.its not bad luck to be "born into a human who will eventuall murder another..." but bad luck for that human to have experiences that lead him to that point

To presume us to be immutable is to deny any consequence of choice. We are shaped by our choices. How we choose to think of ourselves and the universe forms the building blocks of what we call judgment. Our entire experience is filtered through our choices. Clearly choice carries the consequence of stagnation or change. Even a dog or rat makes choices and experiences their consequences. These consequences precipitate more choices with their own consequences. We choose to characterize some consequences as learning, growth, maturity and some as reversion, resistance, regression. If this categorizing can be construed as judgment, then why is it any harder to accept an ultimate judgment as to the result or sum of all one's consequences?

It is not a question of luck, but rather the ultimate consequence of all one's choices.

You make a presumption that the physical experience is irresistable. This is not the case. We all have the power to choose how we respond as long as we are still capable of a response. Our bodies may not be able to resist the force of gravity or the impact of a hammer, but we can still choose our response. Even if the future is cast in stone, we are not. We have the power to choose to raise our hand or not, to resist or succumb, to attack or defend, to change or stagnate, to learn or persist in ignorance.

We may begin blank, but our slates are quite full by the time finals come round.

The third choice is that we do not have soul's, thus it is a moot point.

Your question is very interesting though, kind of like "Can God make a rock so big that he cannot move it". There are many instances like yours that make the "believers" look bad. It is hard to think that when we die, that is it - there is no more, so someone "made up" the idea of a "soul", just like they "made up" a God and "heaven". Now, since they made up God, Heaven and the Soul, they have to figure out what they are made of, and how they exist. Since they made them up, "they" can give them any attributes they want. Many times (such as yours) the attributes cannot fit any scenario, and thus are proved false.

Glad you pointed out that contradiction.

oh i never view soul like that before. where ever did you get that nonsense? as for me... being raised as catholic.. no one told me but,,, this is how i view soul... it is one with our body. therefore, since each and everyone of us is unique even the identical twins... so are our souls. on your no one can be judged upon death argument.. physically yes souls might be identical but not the deeds that the owner did while on earth.... and that's why and how they are judged.

also... you are treating soul as if it has a mind of its own or is predestined to be someone or do something... that's just crazy... i suggest you go out of the cult that you are currently a member of.

The christian viewpoint is that all souls are equally FLAWED, and thereby nobody can be judged favorably until a change occurs. If guilt by birth isn't enough to shake your cage, then what harm can equality do?

My answer would be #1, but it is only ourselves who can change our future, the choices we make for our lives, the decisions we choose in our lifetime, that is what makes our future. I am a Christian, but I believe this answer covers all people, of any place or time.

I choose option 1 with an addition that innate knowledge is also furnished beforehand.
