Is the soul real? Gen 2:7 "...and man became a living soul." Some Bibles exchanged the word soul for creature. A popular interpretation of the word soul is ego. The thought of man having a soul is far to hard to comprehend. It is something out of reach. Creature, yes, is within my ken but, how do I get around the thought of a living soul? I read an article entitled: Whether the Soul is Composed of Matter and Form? by Thomas Aquinas (1240) an immensely influential philosopher and theologian wrote: "It would seem that the soul is composed of matter and form. For potentiality is opposed to actuality...the soul has a cause of its existence, since it is created by God. Therefore the soul has matter..."
Today I leave you with a thought: If the soul is real, God created within everyone of us, shouldn't we strive to consider and learn its ways?
And, today - It is well with my soul! The obedience in which you are putting into words truth about the soul is enabling the reader to better put into focus the importance of that part of our existence!
