聖經(創世記2:7)上說人是由土造的,神在人鼻孔裡吹了一口氣(這口氣是神的靈),人就活了(變成靈魂)。所以活人是個靈魂。”And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (KJV) 簡單來說: Soul (靈魂) = Body ( 身體) + Spirit (神的靈)。人死的時候靈去哪裡呢?傳道書12:7說 ”塵土仍歸於地,靈仍歸於賜靈的 神。” 靈回到神那裡去了,人就死了。Death (No Soul) = Body - Spirit.
