There is nothing to warn, Stupid Satanson.

You Always wish to insult me knowing you can never out manoeuvre me reasonable and fairly as you do with others. So be the Satan that you are and have always been and will always be because you clearly know that you are one of those marked by God for lake of Fire. No hope of eternal life for you.

And typical of Satan, you will not let others have their own or attempt to get it.


So here is your window of opportunity, I give you, take it and fire away Foolish Condemned Wicked Soul!

Fire Away Fool! grin grin

1. I agree.


2 down to the rest...."Soul" cannot be proven, let's stick to proven phenomena.

You seem to talking about the degree of emotions, not the emotion itself. That's why you keep talking about of measurement. You are looking at one part of the picture.

Most people would have similar emotions given an influencer....the degree of their reaction however will always be different. That's not what we are discussing here. If i want to elicit jealousy, I would introduce an influencer. Now if I want to illicit erratic behaviour from jealous emotions, that would be different. Whether you scream or smile through it all, one can never hide their emotions....there are visual cues that always gives these things away. These are very observable. We miss these cues because we dont tend to look out for them. We rather want to see the bombastic reactions.




This is what i have been trying to say, we cannot subject the ethereal to only physical or scientific. It brings us to the real matter. When we say that a man has a soul, it is a spiritual reality, terminology and classification. The body is the physical part and more or less the container for the soul and spirit. There is an intertwining of sorts however given the fact that it's evidently the same man, one way or the other. It's similar to what we call the Trinity. The God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit concept can be quite challenging if you want it to be.
The Bible authoritatively shows and teaches that the soul of man is the seat of emotions, intellect and the will. It communicates these physically using the human body. A person has emotions, intellect and a will but can be limited to physically demonstrate it. You may want to show your joy, or fury, or intellect, using your legs, or your hands, or your mouth. But if they were tied at that moment or imprisoned, then you cannot. You were limited in expressing them but it did not remove the fact that you had them.
BTW, people hide and control their emotions all the time. It's called deception or self-control. Also everyone does not react the same way, one man's poison is indeed another man's meat. Privilege is an influence(r) for instance. We both agree that some use it and others abuse it. No cues help you predict these things individually and consistently.
In summary, i think the issue is with nomenclature and not with evidence. We all agree on humans having at least emotions and intellect. What we do not completely agree on is the part of the human responsible. Which once again takes us back to the authority of the Bible and what it has to say concerning the part of the human responsible for emotions and intellect.

If God is not bound by time then:

1. Why did God create everything in 6days? "...and there was evening and then there was morning..."

2. Why is that we keep saying "God's time is the best"?

Hopefully i can learn from you.

Hopefully my dear, a lot.
God's action or inaction is bound by time when dealing with man or His creations. We are called mortals also because we are time bound, they are called immortals because they are not bound by time. A little while from now you may not be too sure of your ability to respond to my reply and that you we are incapacitated does not stop people that are capable to kepp giving him praises. Take it from me, the energy you spend to justify your doubts is not worth it.
A little prayer of request for God to feed you with answers will blow you out of proportion.

I asked this question to stimulate our minds. I didnt require preaching, though i appreciate the tone you used.

Being immortal doesnt mean ine is not time bound. Look beyond it from just the aging aspect. If they have to wait till an appropriate time to do something they are time bound. If they are time bound because of us mortals then they are time bound. No two ways about it.

Again, im asking you to disrefard all things that you cannot see evidence of. There is evidence for all the feelngs you named bro. None so far. Those who hide their feelings beyond recognition are extremely good at it. Take into consideration, if i try to illicit jealous emotions and expect anger or grim faced disappointment. Now imagine I didnt get these two expressions, normally I would conclude the person was not jealous. However if i knew that jealousy has certain cues and i look out for those, Most likely I wil notice these. Generally people dont look out for these cues. General human behaviour is predictable, fuelled by our emotions. Since most people are not trained to look out for these cues. So you are objectively wrong.

Anyways prove your point for the soul .....

It's akin to saying we should disregard X-rays and gamma rays and electromagnetism for instance. While you cannot see them, you can see their effects on visible things as it were. The functions of the soul include emotions, intellect and a will. These are observable things.
Like i have well stated, individual emotions are not generally repeating, measurable or the same. Whatever, influence(r) you might blame or claim, that's the truth. The crux and summary then goes to the authority and the effect/power of the Bible, as that's where i'm coming from.
The teaching and influence of the Bible is so powerful and drastic that it leaves the diligent student with real reasons to take what it says about the human soul seriously.

The fortunate thing is that we are not just discussing response to stimuli but human emotions. Don't go too far to hypothetical six year olds, examine yourself. Is it the same way you respond to greetings every time? Or to phone calls, or to call to eat, wake up, to your best friend etc. You should be a robot to be that consistent and measurable. How do you emote if given five thousand naira? Can you predict it and is it consistent? Two people that equally need 5k will not necessarily behave the same way upon receipt. One may burst into tears, the same one may hug you, the same one may refuse it, the same one may lie prostrate thanking you. Not to mention different others.



How many Kilojoules do you use to measure fear sir? Like i said, i am not referring to response to stimuli or adaptability, i am referring to emotions. People for instance do not "fall in" love the same way, even the same person. Neither is it the guaranteed to be the same exact reason. You don't even love people the same way or show love the same way. How do you measure love? Number of gifts or money spent or the way the person smiles or like you suggest by brain waves and breath rates? What is the breath rate of love, and do you agree that i do not love if my breath rate does not measure up?



Guile and treachery are emotions in people, just like love, happiness, hatred before acting them out. Someone can be treacherous and full of guile in an organisation or government, and not yet acting it out. It is not only when it is acted out that it is there. Do you realise that one can look very lively and bubbling and yet not be as joyous and happy as the second fellow just seated calmly? You just said you can measure this in DIFFERENT ways, care to enlighten us.



Wow, cheerleading decibels is what you use to measure joy, or what do you mean by excitement? Because i am clearly referring to every day human emotions not to supporters club chants. You can be shouting like a baboon as a cheerleader does not mean you are happy. You are simply motivated doing a job. The same fellow can actually be depressed or suicidal. If you have used your framework and control to measure him as a happy man, you have failed oh.

Emotions result in involuntary bodily reactions that can be measured objectively by pupil dilation (eye tracking), skin conductance (EDA/GSR), brain activity (EEG, fMRI), heart rate (ECG), and facial expressions.
While emotions are associated with bodily reactions that are activated through neurotransmitters and hormones released by the brain, feelings are the conscious experience of emotional reactions that we call love, anger, fear, etc. The intensity of the feeling ( your examples above) will depend on various factors and can also be measured, so we can device a framework to determine who you love most or who is most grateful for a $5000 gift.

You cannot use the electromagnetic spectrum as an analogy for your soul. While we only see a sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can detect some of it in other physical ways and through the use of various tools. You say the soul includes emotions, intellect, and a will but the brain is the source of the emotions, intellect, and will because these are the names we give to various brain functions.

Earlier you said the soul requires a functioning brain to work; however the brain works without the soul or the other thing you call spirit.
If one rightly views the bible as Jewish mythology/philosophy and Roman fiction, there is no need to try to view reality through its lens, regard it as infallible, and ignore knowledge for superstition.
