Question

How can a soul be wounded when it is immortal?

Answer 1

First prove that a soul exists.  Then we'll discuss it's immortality.

Answer 2

No one is born with immortality.  This is a gift from God. It is not given at birth but after the sheep and goat judgment.

The only known guarantee is acceptance of Christ in your heart.

Answer 3

soul never dies, but it can be wounded, it can get hurt. abusive relationships can wound the soul, but then it can get healed too.

Answer 4

Our soul could mean the very essence of our physical being; in which case, it is equated with our heart.  This is the soul that could be wounded - more than once sometimes - but its resilience allows it to mend and be whole again.

Then too our soul could mean the core of our spiritual being.  This is the immortal one that would eventually rejoin its Maker.  This soul remains steadfast and strong as our faith should be.  

Answer 5

ask Frodo..

the Q is,do they have souls? i think there is none..

Answer 6

Souls cannot be wounded since they do not experience the same things as our bodies do.. They are just used as a deeper way to say how someone is touched by a certain act.. They don't just use the word "heart"  and "mind" because including the "soul" in the conversation is a figure of speech of saying that it goes beneath the physical aspects..

Souls cannot be wounded because it only happens to emotions and body..

Answer 7

A figure of speech.

To my limited knowledge, we have three elements in our being: the body, the soul and the spirit.  When we die, the spirit returns to God, the soul sleeps in the earth, and our bodies wither away.  

In literature, even immortals can be wounded although they cannot die.  Look at Prometheus.  Bound there on the rock, and voltures keep at his insides.  Fast as he is wounded, his innards grow back.

Rather a fine argument for "Who wants to live forever"?
