The dog aint beg cuz he knows it to be right, he does it cuz he wants the bone..

Humans seem to have an intrinsic quality, like helping someone, when it has no benefit to themselves..

Agreed?

(dee again)

That means the dog only does things for survival .........interesting ........ so u r sayin that humans dont hav that survival insticnt ??...........

This doesnt prove nything about a soul pliz do eloborate on it if u may

I think humans are able (though they dont always do it lol) to demonstrate a quality of selflessness that animals arent able to. That is a theory though, based on observation...

The Bible mentions a ton about how to be saved. It never says 'and thou needeth to maketh sure that thou livestock repent as well or they willeth not haveth enternal life"

So far away from the issue now it makes no sense...

I can only come to the conclusion that you guys have NO idea what a soul is, in all honesty...Cause now you're just throwing out assumptions like...Wow...

Animals have rules, chains of command...Hell, an ant bed has that...Are you saying that because an animal can't read the KJV, that they don't have a soul..?

And furthermore, what does ANY of that have to do with being reincarnated..?

Well pimpin', how about instead of shooting all our ideas down, prove how animals DO have a soul /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

and no i am not saying cuz they arent as intelligent as us that they cant have a soul..

Eh, I said that earlier in the thread, simply being alive (your life force) is your soul...Your beloved bible describes this as God breathing life into Adam from the dust, I believe...I said that the only things that didn't have souls were dead things (also in the bible)...I equated the soul to pure energy, the composition of my God...

Ok...if everything has a soul...what's the point? What does the soul do for you?

the soul is the force of life or as ayhja put it ur life force ....... the soul sparks life into a person or animal ...........to be alive u need to hav a soul... if u dont u r not alive ....... so soul is life

Bible says God made him from the dust, but breathed life into him Himself..not positive though..
