No, you posited that our souls are blank. Many others disagree, so it’s completely inaccurate to state this as a fact, which can lead to confusion.

Our personality wouldn’t change if personality was a property of soul.

Let’s assume that you actually meant DID as others have explained; even in this case, there are no separate souls. It’s a fragmentation of the mind, the personality, into these little pieces that each have a function in protecting the soul. It’s all one soul, it’s just a broken soul that needs a little mending.

In DID patients, there are not actually several separate “people” inside one body. It’s all the same person, the same soul, doing whatever it can to cope.

DID has pretty much been disproven anyway. It was really popular in the last part of the 1900’s but it was something the psychologists dreamed up, just like Satanic childhoods.

Personality is not a property of the soul. It is a surface that the psyche or mind presents to others, comparable to the skin of our bodies, and like the skin, it bears the wear and tear incurred in living a human life.

OK, if a person can have several different personalities, which one is the one that has to answer to God? Suppose a person from childhood manifested these different personalities, some of which can actually speak a foreign language, commit murder, etc. When judgement comes which personality will be judged. Who could choose the real one over the false??

Same answer.

There is only ONE person.

A mental disorders…is just that a mental disorder.

God would judge the person -knowing what they were or were not responsible for.

Which person of the apparent many will be judged? I don’t think a person as such can exist without a personality attached to it. A person is a neutral concept. It is a personality that sins and will be judged.

It is the person who will be judged.

A mental disorder…is just that a mental disorder.

Is a baby a person? Yes.

Am I a person while I sleep? Yes.

Is a person who has been hit on the head - and in a coma - a person? Yes.

Is a person who has a disorder that causes sleep walking and acting a person? Yes. They remain the same person even though they are doing what they are not responsible for in that sleep walking state.

A person who experiences a mental disorder -does not become more than one person. They remain one person. Who will be judged by God who knows them and what they are responsible for or not responsible for.
 
schizophrenia and Multiple Personality Disorder are not the same.

For someone with MPD, what happens is that some form of trauma shatters the person’s psyche and in order to protect the individual from further pain or trauma, the brain will compartmentalise the trauma. These several ‘compartments’ are also known as the person’s alters…or alternative personalities.

The person still has one soul, but it’s the brain, the psyche instead of functioning as a whole, it is functioning in fragmented alters of the whole.

Hope this makes sense

No, the ‘person’ is a human being, cognitive mind and solid body, breathing soul and thinking body; the “personality” is just the aspect of the mind that others see.

There can be a person without personality, i.e., someone in a long term coma; there can be no personality without a person (including solid body) attached.
