Subject: Does the human spirit decease with the body? |
Post No: 884 |
Most people believe that when a person dies, the spirit move on and some even come back to visit love ones. How could that be possible? A person's memory and ability to think directly relates to the livelyhood of the brain. If a person is mentally ill, he can't even remember his past, and cannot tell between right and wrong; even if his spririt is still there. If a person's spirit has no effect on his memory or reasoning when he is alive, how does it remember who are his family members or anything else when the body is dead? |
