Is it worth ...to gain the world, but lose your soul in the process?

Question

The world is material, it will soon pass,... our souls are everlasting, if we live according to Spirit!

Answer 1

Souls Do exists.  All living things have one.  The more important part of man is his spirit.  we need keep our soul, deny the world and live by the Spirit .

Answer 2

Unless you can give me evidence of the existence of a soul, I'll take the world.  

Thanks.

Answer 3

The soul has not been confirmed to exist. This world is material, yes. Regardless of being a philanthropist or a serial rapist, this world will still rotate around the sun and will eventually be destroyed when the sun becomes a red giant. Honestly, I believe in being a good person for the preservation of oneself and others. I want to enjoy my myself and be in complete bliss until I die.

Even in you did gain the world... You are still yourself in the end. And, when the 'end' does come... it will all be meaningless.

Good question!

Answer 4

not according to the song...

Answer 5

You have evidence for the existence of a soul? I'd love to see it.  

Answer 6

The world isn't going to pass any time soon. Your life isn't over until you die. Whether or not my soul is troubled is a matter of perspective.

Say I F'ed a bunch of people over so my family could survive, am I a bad person? Heck no. Christians especially need to back off, and take a better look at the way they operate. Their tactics and agenda are way screwed up. Christians are too fast to judge and ignore their own inadequacies.

Answer 7

Sure, if you don't believe in a soul then what would it matter?

Answer 8

I agree with "ME"  Souls definitely exist

Answer 9

The pleasures of the material world are far and between and unsubstantial, the joys of the Spirit are indescribably  beauteous  who shall I choose?

Easy

Answer 10

It's worth it to gain a gumball since a soul is make believe like santa Claus and Tooth Fairies.

Answer 11

I'm pretty certain I don't have a soul, and I don't want the world: far too much responsibility.

Answer 12

You can't lose your soul. You are your soul.

You should live according to truth and common sense.

Answer 13

"Souls" do not exist.

Why do so many people completely waste their entire life thinking about the silly notion of a "next" one?

Answer 14

There is nothing in this world worth loosing my soul over. God is my strength and my strong tower. Only him will I fear. The world has noting but heart ache and pain. God hive peace, joy, and everlasting life.  

Answer 15

The world?  heck I'll give you my "soul" - or any other made up concept borrowed from Zoroastrianism that you care to mention - for a six pack of Red Hook ESB and a king-size Twix.

Answer 16

Is your soul going to put food on the table?

In ideal circumstances, keep both - keep yourself afloat and with 'intact soul' - but if times are hard, what would you choose: preserving a life you're sure of or an eternity that may not be true?

Answer 17

That is like trading $999,000,000,000,000,000.00 in ten years for 9 cents today. And even that isn't a just example because eternity is zillions x zillions x zillions x zillions plus years.

Take care and may God bless you spiritually.

Answer 18

No the World is material and ever thing is going to be gone.

Eternity is forever.

God wants us to seek eternal things not earthly things.
