Do You Think The Indonesian Police and Authority Are Discriminating Against The Iraqi, Iranian and Afghan Refu?

We Answered:

Seeing as how Indonesia is the world's biggest Muslim nation, perhaps it might be a good idea for them to accept these Iraqi, Iranian and Afghan refugees, since they are all Muslims as well, instead of giving them a hard time.

http://www.smh.com.au/national/acid-atta…
they were originally from india anyway. my view is if they don't like it. go back. to answer you're question, the reason for all these problems are that tamils want so many things but need to accept that the sri lankan governement is in charge. and that sinhalese people are tha natives & where in sri lanka way before them & they should respect that & them.

What is your opinion about this text?

We Answered:

I agree. "The body without spirit is dead." (James 2:26) Hence, spirit is that which animates the body."

In addition, when you examine the way “soul” or “souls” is used in the bible, it becomes evident that this word basically refers to (1) people, (2) animals, or (3) the life that a person or an animal enjoys. Let us consider some scriptures that present these three different senses.

PEOPLE. “In Noah’s days . . . A FEW PEOPLE, that is, EIGHT SOULS, were carried safely through the water.” (1 Peter 3:20) Here the word “souls” clearly stands for people—Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. Exodus 16:16 mentions instructions given to the Israelites regarding the gathering of manna. They were told: “Pick up some of it . . . according to the number of the souls that each of you has in his tent.” So the amount of manna that was gathered was based upon the number of people in each family. Some other Biblical examples of the application of “soul” or “souls” to a person or to people are found at Genesis 46:18; Joshua 11:11; Acts 27:37; and Romans 13:1.

ANIMALS. In the Bible’s creation account, we read: “God went on to say: ‘Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.’ And God went on to say: ‘Let the earth put forth LIVING SOULS according to their kinds, domestic ANIMAL and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.’ And it came to be so.” (Genesis 1:20, 24) In this passage, fish, domestic animals, and wild beasts are all referred to by the same word—“souls.” Birds and other animals are called souls at Genesis 9:10; Leviticus 11:46; and Numbers 31:28.

LIFE AS A PERSON. Sometimes the word “soul” means one’s life as a person. Jehovah told Moses: “All the men who were hunting for your soul are dead.” (Exodus 4:19) What were Moses’ enemies hunting for? They were seeking to take Moses’ life. Earlier, while Rachel was giving birth to her son Benjamin, “her soul was going out (because she died).” (Genesis 35:16-19) At that moment, Rachel lost her life. Consider also JESUS’ words: “I am the fine shepherd; the fine shepherd SURRENDERS HIS SOUL in behalf of the sheep.” (John 10:11) JESUS GAVE HIS SOUL, OR LIFE, IN BEHALF OF MANKIND. In these Bible passages, the word “soul” clearly refers to life as a person. You will find more examples of this sense of “soul” at 1 Kings 17:17-23; Matthew 10:39; John 15:13; and Acts 20:10.

A further study of God’s Word will show you that nowhere in the entire Bible are the terms “immortal” or “everlasting” linked with the word “soul.” Instead, the Scriptures state that a SOUL IS MORTAL, MEANING THAT IT DIES. (Ezekiel 18:4, 20) Therefore, the Bible calls someone who has died simply a “dead soul.”—Leviticus 21:11.

However, if we die, we have the hope to be resurrected from that state of non-existence. John 5:28,29, says: "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.
