Do you want to come back as a Zombie or something
?Why does not having an immortal soul make someone a zombie later? Is the soul the cause of consciousness?Do you want to come back as a Zombie or something
Seriously, why would God want a souless body?2nd
Well, I’m not Catholic, so I can’t agree on that. The argument of ecclesial authority and doctrinal infallibility is a topic for a different thread.

Timothy is saying God is immortal by nature, it is his very nature to be immortal. We will be immortal through God’s causality. Also God’s immortality extends backwards through eternity and forward as well. Our extends only foreward from the date of our birth.
It would have been nice if the writers of scripture would have taken the space to make things like this crystal clear. And maybe they did in their preaching, but there was no paper, no typewriters, no ball point pens, not spell check, no erasers, and not many writers, and not much time to write in those days. Besides, they were called to preach, they had little time to write and did so only when necessary… So the Holy Spirit left it to his Church to make clear the things which are difficult to understand.
God Bless

First, no doctrine is established based on a single isolated verse. We must look to the rest of Paul’s words to establish what he was teaching (and, they are not all in his letters). A single example:
As well, listen to our Lord Himself:
Some very odd cults have arisen which teach “soul annihilation.” That is completely fabricated and contrary to our very Lord’s words.
Why does not having an immortal soul make someone a zombie later? Is the soul the cause of consciousness?
The soul is what animates the body; when a body is separated from it’s soul, the body is called dead.
May God Bless you
No, I was making a joke to a question that seemed silly.
No, it is the intellect which causes consciousness. And the intellect is a property of the human soul. Sence animals do not have an intellect they are not self conscious.
Well, what does the bible say? Doesn’t the Bible say that we will spend eternity either in hell or in heaven? Isn’t that what the last judgment is all about? And what is the point of a final judgment if it is not we, our human person ( body and soul ) which will be judged?
