Now see the irony of your post!
1. Humans (Including Jesus) don't have anything that lives on after they died.
2. Jesus died and gave His body(SOUL)...meaning, the day Jesus died nothing on Him was live.
3. Jesus' body was never found...since Jesus didn't take it back...
4. Yet Jehovah didn't leave Jesus body in hell...which you tactically change to RESURRECTION...
5. Also, Jehovah RESURRECTED Jesus Christ...

Now, in line of this, WHAT ACTUALLY DID JEHOVAH RESURRECTED from the dead Jesus Christ? Since, Jesus body is gone and no soul that survived the death....

Look at what your own organization has to say about resurrection "In the Bible, the word translated as “resurrection” comes from the Greek
a·naʹsta·sis, which means “raising up” or “standing up again.” A person who is resurrected is raised up from death and restored to life as the person he was before.
—1 Corinthians 15:12, 13




If Jesus didn't take the body back, what then did Jehovah take out of hell since he didn't leave Jesus soul(body) in hell?

Why is simple English so hard for you to understand



Imagine, and you can lie without shame like this.

Jesus means both BODY and SOUL are the same.. yet the preceding statement read... "and fear not THEM which KILL THE BODY, but are not ABLE to kill the SOUL: KJV

And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Ge·henʹna. NWT


This verse is so self explanatory enough that people can KILL the BODY but can't KILL the SOUL but it's only God who can destroy both Body and Soul.

So why did Jesus separate body from soul in the first part?



But the preceding statement was cleared that Jesus spoke about people who kill the body but CAN'T kill soul...

Why would Jesus contradict himself by saying the BODY can be kill but the soul can't be kill by people if both soul and body mean the same thing?

I believe you never see this coming....

The spell from GB must clear from your eyes...it's so evident that watchtower and awake has blocked your eyes from Biblical truth.

You're still perambulating,

2. This body went to the grave which means NOTHING exist about Jesus again (base on your logic)

I have said it here times without number that the way you JWs show your dishonesty to someone's article is the same way you do to Bible.

The articles have already established that SOUL is PART OF a PERSON! So if the article later went further to talk about soul LIVING IN A BODY, how do you suppose to interpret it?




You are very dishonest.

The article didn't just talk about soul living in a body. It says the person is that soul.

" every PERSON you have ever met is a Soul " !!!

Living persons grin grin this is while they are alive not just dead . I will revisit the loopholes in your first response.

Read the above again and again

The other site states " YOU ARE A SOUL " , who is You ? Soul. It now adds " You have a body "

Both emphasized that the Soul is the actually person . but having a body.





But you neglected the first point of the article and hold on to next phrase in the same breath, is that not dishonesty?

What if article like this was found in Watchtower or Awake and people quote the part that suit them, will you have agreed with them?

their Real intent has been exposed above , Yoi are Soul . just having a body



What is the name of that BODY?

Just a body the Soul [ Jesus] lives in.

' You are a soul , You HAVE a body ' got question

So clear .



Because of his anguish, he will see and be satisfied. By means of his knowledge the righteous one, my servant, Will bring a righteous standing to many people, And their errors he will bear. For that reason I will assign him a portion among the many, And he will apportion the spoil with the mighty, Because he poured out his life even to death And was counted among the transgressors; He carried the sin of many people, And he interceded for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:11-12 NWT


Where does the word SOUL appear in your own translation?


My question still remains unanswered!

grin grin No amount of dribbling can save you out of this . NWT footnote " OR SOUL " .


Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
" Isaiah 53:12 ESV , KJV too

This is the actual part I want to address because here is your mistake, you added your own assumption where the writer didn't.



From the above two link you provided I came with this part that either you deliberately ignored or couldn't understand.

compellingthetruth.org "The human soul is that part of a person that is eternal —the part that lives on after the body dies and decays."

gotquestions.org "Simply stated, the human soul is the part of a person that is not physical."

What was your own assumption? You assumed that THE PERSON is mainly the SOUL whereas both articles established that the SOUL is PART of that person.


NOTE: Emphasis must be placed here, the only condition SOUL can be also referred to as PERSON is after DEATH where the SOUL is now the actual person in the SPIRIT REALM.


You got it wrong when you think people only refer to soul as person including when the person is still alive.


gotquewtions.org said this "The human soul is central to the personhood of a human being.

To your question, Jesus person died for our sin by giving His BODY!

Now my question, if SOUL is just the person, why did Bible never use the word SOUL for Jesus sacrifice?

It's not an exagerration to say you are confused yourself .

Am addressing the Red part , Biggest dishonesty ever exhibited.

The Website refers to a living person as the Soul.

Every PERSON you have ever met, Is a Soul

While they are alive contrary to your claim.

You later admit the Soul is the actual person , But added a Clause , after death .

Gradually it would be exposed.

The question regarding that phrase: part of a person is:

If the Soul is just the part of a person ,For the person to be declared dead , Will the soul not die ?

Is the person dead if the persons part is alive ??

REGARDING the clause. After death



The same person that once have a body ?

All these JW guys, I thought we already settled this.

Jehovah's witnesses say the human is the soul and that when a person dies, that is his end because the soul dies. They believe the soul doesn't go on living. That means if a man kills a Jehovah's witness, he has destroyed his soul. But is that what Jesus said?

Mathew 10:28

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.


If the soul can be killed by humans, why then did Jesus say they can't destroy the soul?
The above verse shows Jesus putting a clear distinction between the body and soul. But heretic Jehovah's witnesses say the soul dies when a man dies.

Face the issue Oga grin ,

Let me shock you.



King James Bible
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho. " Joshua 10:28

God didn't leave Jesus body in hell, He resurrected it. Otherwise it would mean Jesus didn't conquer death and our hope is in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:14

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

You believe Jesus resurrected. Then how can you say what resurrected is different from what died? Isn't that a scam?


Made Alive in the spirit . simple as ABC 1 Pet 3:18
Meanwhile this thread discuss what actually dies .



What you are saying is that Satan is now in possession of Jesus, so God formed a new Jesus and sold that to us as the resurrected Jesus. Let man be a liar.

@bold Why are you lying on Jesus like this? You say Jesus said the soul is not immortal. Then how come some will have everlasting life and others everlasting punishment?

Mathew 25:46

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Matthew 13:41-43
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.


In other words everybody will have everlasting life ? grin



@bold2

If you say Jesus confirmed that both body and soul are together, and that when one is killed, the other dies in the process, how come Jesus said we shouldn't be afraid of those who can only kill the body but not the soul? Doesn't that show that after the body dies, something goes on living?


U are wrong .

What's goes on living ? The person ?

Answer this and let's know if Jesus died or not ooooo





During the resurrection of the righteous and the wicked, the wicked are then thrown both body and soul into hell,
which is the second death where they face eternal punishment. The righteous face the opposite which is eternal life. The word eternal which you find in ETERNAL PUNISHMENT shows that they won't die. If they were just gong to die off, then there would not be anything eternal about the punishment.

grin where is. The. Body and soul before ressurection? dis guy Lolzzzzzz





Eternal life means life everlasting,
it doesn't end. Eternal punishment means everlasting punishment, it doesn't end. How then can the Bible say God is punishing someone eternally when the person is dead and no longer existing? Can you see your flaw?

Everybody will have everlasting life ?

Can u see your flaw

Face the issue Oga grin ,

Let me shock you.



King James Bible
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho. " Joshua 10:28

Didn't Joshua destroy souls ?

grin grin grin U lack understanding. Did Jesus soul die or not ?

@ Purple : Chairman, people died and their Bodies go to hell ? I need answer o .

Look at how happy you are thinking you have caught me in a tight corner. Didn't someone just showed you all that the Hebrew word for soul which is Nephesh means different things e.g soul, life etc? Now you quoted the below verse just to bust Mathew 10:28 which distinguished soul and body.

According to you, since Joshua destroyed the souls of those mentioned, it means that was their end, no part of them went on living. Isn't that a contradiction if Jesus words below?


Mathew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.

Jesus said mankind cannot destroy the soul, they can only destroy the body. It is only God that can destroy both body and soul. Are you now trying to say Joshua is God because the verse you quoted said he destroyed the soul of some people, soul which also means life and many other things?

Can you now see your wrong?

These your wayo assumptions were addressed in my first post on this thread. The bible does not support pagan ideas of ancient Greek philosophical thought.
Take your time to read & digest the truth.
To your last question:
Isaiah 53:11,12
"After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life..... my righteous servant will justify many and will bear their iniquities.... "

But the suffering servant in Isaiah is Israel... Why are you relating it to jesus?

Hahahahahahaaaa .

Destroy, (definition)
"End the existence of some thing.."

Kill, (definition)
"put an end to something.."

Both, adverb. ( definition)
"Used before the first two alternatives to emphasize that the statement being made applies to each other (the other alternative being introduced by 'and').
For example "both body and soul" have the same meaning oooo...

"What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet FORFEIT his SOUL?" Mark 8:36.

Forfeit, definition
"To LOSE the right to do or have some thing.."

Source : dictionary.cambridge.org


In Mark 8:36, that man who "forfeit his soul" , forfeits (lose) his life (he died).
Jesus gives further proof that a soul dies.
The soul is mortal , NOT immortal.

Let the truth set U free.

Yes I have, the narrative started from chapter 45, those where written in past tense, meaning they have happened when Isaiah was writing.. There is nothing to show that he is referring to a future event..
I might be wrong, please enlighten me.

Shows how confused they are , I never assumed anything.

Based on this statement made by compelling truth , " every person you have ever met IS A SOUL , living in a body . emphasis on " living in " shows clear distinction that the body is not the person.

The person is that Soul , living in that body ... Do you agree with this ?


cheesy cheesy


Means he never died .

He was living in a body , Agree ?



It did . Isaiah 53:11,12


The underlined is true! Atleast from the verses below we can establish that the physical body houses the soul;

1 Corinthians 6:19


Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;


John 2:19


"And Jesus answered them; "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

If it is the same nephesh, then you are implying that Joshua is God because Jesus said it is only God that can destroy the Nephesh, man can only destroy the body.

That's the wrong.

Always trying to sound intelligent by quoting Greek and Hebrew words and also the dictionary.

So if I say both you and your friend, it means you are your friend and your friend is you? As long as there is an and, there will always be a distinction. Body can be destroyed by man who cannot destroy the soul. Only can can destroy both.

That verse in Mark 8 is speaking about gaining the world while still alive. When you sell your soul to Satan, you don't immediately die. You just go on living but denying Jesus and being a tool of Satan who can make you do horrible things. Those horrible things you must do because you are now his slave, and have no right over your life. Hence you have lost your soul/life all in a bid to save it.

If you had read the verse from the proceeding one, you would have understood what Jesus was talking about.

Mark 8:35-38
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
