What Is the Soul?

By John William Lowe

No individual in the world is exactly like any other person in this world, because no two human beings in this world are exactly alike mentally and physically. Therefore, every individual in this world has an individuality peculiarly his own. This being so, there are as many individualities as there are individuals. Each individual — his mental and physical make-up, which differs from all others in some respect — constitutes a soul.

The soul is the individual — not an invisible something that is separate and distinct from the visible person. A careful study of the Bible relative to the soul — comparing scripture with scripture — will abundantly substantiate the above claims. The popular belief that the soul is something separate and distinct from the visible body, is a delusive, man-made theory, and not in the least degree warranted by Bible teaching or scientific research.
