When have you ever made a comment here yet that was not you doing that? Give me proof that I am wrong for once. Ally u have been doing is saying I am wrong because you know I am wrong.
I am really starting to wonder about your understanding of the english language. You seem to have no clue what you have written in your various comments. I guess you are just confused. When you tell someone they are wrong and give no facts to back up your claim except that you know they are wrong, then you are doing that.

That was not a quote, but that is what you have been saying. Go and read your comments and see what it is that you keep saying. Are you even aware of what you post here in my comments? You keep telling me that I am wrong and the only reason you can give that I am wrong is because you know you are right. You have yet to ever back yourself up. You make it very clear you think all others are wrong. Just look at your comment to the post about how we all know nothing.

"Not because of your beliefs in God, btu because of your beliefs that your belief are 100% the true true beliefs and that no one should question them at all because you are right and all others are wrong." Quote me directly--where did I state this?

No, with open eyes I see no point in following what is obviously a fictional character from a series of stories created by man to control other men.
You are the one who show herself to be very blind time and time again. Not because of your beliefs in God, btu because of your beliefs that your belief are 100% the true true beliefs and that no one should question them at all because you are right and all others are wrong. That is pure blindness.
You show no respect to anyone else and their beliefs, yet you really can not defend your own beliefs against any questioning. Here you are quoting the Bible and using pure circular reasoning to defend why there is a God. "In the Bible God says he is what he is, and he claims the Bible to be his word, so the Bible must be his word and God must be what he says he is." As always that proves 100% nothing at all.

With opened eyes, then, you'd see the glory which is God, the one that made you. It's all around you, His glory. If your eyes are open, you can see it, and you'd understand with the fullness of your being that you are a part of His body. "We are made in God's image."
If your eyes are open, and you claim there is no God, then either A) you are lying, or B) you are wrong about your eyes being open.
God exists. "I AM," he said to those that heard his voice, to those that had their eyes open.
Open your eyes and see.

Every single time you have actually stated your view, instead of trying to discredit me, I have listened. I very much listen to everything you say in fact, but most of the time you are dancing around the issue and are not giving real answers at all. I am not trying for certain replies, but I do expect some kind of backup for any statements made claiming I am wrong.
It is amazing that you go and any time my replies do not agree with the answers you want, you go and claim that I am not listening and not willing to answer. Yet here you are very much saying you do not need to give me any kind of answer to defend your statement and are trying to discredit me once again by making it look as though I ma somehow being unreasonable.
If you make a statement and are unable to defend that idea with where it came from and what beliefs are there to back it up, then you are not even trying to defend your beliefs. if you wish to start a debate by telling me I am wrong, then you need to tell not only that I am wrong, but give me some level of reasoning as to why I am wrong. You see that is how one debates.

"Saying I would not understand" is not what I said. Scroll down and read the comment. I actually wrote my reply would be "lost on you." This means that you won't listen to it. Any implication you took from my original statement should have been clarified by you prior to your making accusations of my motive.

"I am always willing to clarification when you ask for it, yet you are never willing to listen to it." Just because I don't respond the way you want or agree with you in the end does not mean I don't listen.

Here we would have to feed you to the turtles.
Or the boys would end up breaking you. They get real crazy every evening and jump around on everything it sight.
At Lisa's there would be a much better chance of them being able to put you somewhere out of the way.

This is one time where I will agree with you. No matter what you believe about the soul itself, it is very clear that the body is just the house for it and after one dies it makes no sense at all for there to be any kind of connection left.

the body has no power or connection over the soul after death. The body is simply a " house" for the soul and spirit to so that the soul can interact with the physical realm.

She has a bigger house and so you won't get in the way as much there.

I won't see it because it is not there. Keep on dancing there girl. If you can not give answers to simple question then you must not have the answers. That is the only conclusion I can come to. Ignore the idea of if I believe or not, tell from your own personal beliefs how this connection works.
I am always willing to clarification when you ask for it, yet you are never willing to listen to it. I am willing to listen to yours, but you refuse to give it.
Saying I would not understand because I do not believe as you dd is just trying to dodge the question. it is you once more dancing around the issue because you really do not have an answer and are just unable to admit to it.

kooka: my reply stands, as believing that God exists is the center of my explanation. If you don't believe in God, or the role our free will has in our existence for that matter, whatever I answer will be lost on you. This mystery of the human body (a name given to the concept you inquire about here in your post) is understood with the open eyes of faith. Since yours are closed, you won't see it.

That was a piss poor dodge of the question.
Just explain the connection that remains between the sprit and the body after death.
I am just asking for clarification here.

"So you believe that there is still a connection between the body and spirit after death? Could you please explain the logic behind this?" The logic requires belief that God exists. Therefore it would be lost on you. Sorry.

it comes from Egyptian mummification -- the body somehow stil lhoused the soul -- somebody's got to check into that to be sure
some believe that there won't be a resurrection without the body being buried whole.
me -- i want to be perfectly preserved and staring at you in your living room. you'll never forget me then.

So you believe that there is still a connection between the body and spirit after death?
Could you please explain the logic behind this?
If there is a soul or sprit that moves on after death, then it becomes clear that the body is just a tool to hold that spirit in. If the body has some kind of hold over the sprit after death, then the concepts of heaven and hell make no sense. Also, nature itself destroys the body as it is and so it matters not how well one tries to prevent the bodies from decaying, sooner or later it will anyway.
Does this mean that the soul decays with the body?
Or does it mean that the soul is truly free once the body is fully gone and can then move on?

To answer all your questions, the body and spirit are two parts of one whole. Respect for the body that housed the soul is respect for the soul. We not only should respect our bodies after death, but respect them in life as well.
