Christians: What churches/denominations believe in the doctrine of immortal soul?

Clarity is needed on what constitutes a human soul. That foundation would have to be laid first, before you could then establish whether the soul of the man, Jesus, was immortal. He absolutely had to BE a human soul, otherwise the Gnostic idea that Jesus only appeared to be a human would have grounds.

The Bible tells us that Jesus became just like us humans, but without sin. Jesus, the human soul, was the same as other human souls, with the exception of His soul not being contaminated with sin. The Bible says, "The soul that sins dies" (Ezekiel 18:4), speaking of sinful people - they will die physically, in that passage.

We know Jesus died physically, but not because He sinned! He chose to die though He need not have. Jesus also told us not to be fearful of humans who could only kill our body, but not our soul; rather, to be fearful of God who can destroy both body and soul in Gehenna (Mat.

10:26-28). This shows that immortality is not an automatic quality of the sinful human soul. Now I would like to extract various points from the book below.

Orthodox teaching maintains that when the Word of God became flesh, he "took a reasonable human soul". He had a human psychology as truly as he had a human body. It was a person, not a nature, who became flesh.

The incarnation was not a conversion of one nature into another. Jesus was not two separate persons, one the Son of God and the other the Son of Man. That is the heresy known as Nestorianism.

But the relation between the two natures in the person of Christ is entirely different from that between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the eternal Trinity, which is an inter-personal relation: I - Thou and face-to-face. The human nature of Christ certainly did not stand in an I - Thou relationship to His divine nature. Equally, the union between divine and human in Christ does not correspond to that between soul and body in a human being.

In the incarnation, the person exists before the event and actively takes a human body and soul. In the human being, the soul does not take a body as the Mormons teach. On the contrary, the psychosomatic unity is given, involuntarily, from the beginning; and the union is not one between two natures but the coherent, integrated functioning of different components of one and the same nature.

The NT doctrine of the glorification of Christ shows that Christ was glorified and that He prayed for such a glorification (Jn 17:1); he was 'hyper-exalted' (Phil. 2:9). Such a glorification would have been impossible if the human nature of Christ were already in possession of the divine majesty simply by virtue of the incarnation itself.

But then, not even the glorification of Christ involves the impartation of divine properties to His humanity. His human body and human soul can be glorified to a degree far beyond what they possessed on earth and even far beyond what Adam possessed in Paradise. It can sit in the very centre of the throne (Rev. 7:17).

But it remains human, and not even the most extravagant language used of the glory of Christ should betray us into forgetting that. In the case of Jesus, glorification brings his humanity to its Omega-point, but it remains humanity, finite, time-bound and space-bound, even though it is the humanity of God. To render it omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent is to destroy it.

Yet although His human nature is neither omnipotent, omniscient or omnipresent, He Himself is! Neither the divine nor the human is now excluded from anything He does. Jesus was glorified not because He was God incarnate but because He finished the work given Him to do (Jn.

17:4). There are limits to how far we can understand this miracle of the incarnation. The question you have been set speaks in the past tense; "did he have..." That is why I've laboured the present situation of the glorified Christ for there is no disjunction between the Logos, the man, and the glorified Christ.

This does not answer the question but shows that we can only go so far in understanding the mystery of the incarnation.

Jesus is a part of God, just like a son is a little piece of his father. Jesus does have an immortal soul, but don't we all? It's the soul that will either go to heaven or the fiery pit.

So are we all a little piece of God?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
