  Soul = sol = sun. Many religious words have a solar/astrological similarity or connection. We use similar language when we speak of movies or sports stars, where the language is trying to elevate somebody by placing them in the unreachable sky or heavens.

  "Soul = sol = sun. Many religious words have a solar/astrological similarity or connection."

  Have you tried translating this into any other languages?

  @rob

  try the exercise yourself. im not claiming soul in sp or fr is a homonym w/ sun, im just saying there are far too many coincidences.

  try

  minister = min = minimum, ster = star .

  degree

  cardinal = points of a compass

  monastery = mon = moon, srety = stars

  monk = moon

  deacon = look up deacon and astrology

  sun day = the day of worship = the day of the sun

  --ster-- mon-- are found often in names and other religious terms

  amen = the egytpian god of the sun

  aton = variation of amen

  adonai = adon = variation of aton

  The idea that the "soul" is you has a sound scientific basis. Dualism is passe. Some have written about the contrast between platonic dualism and hebraic holism. Look it up.

  The biblical proof in the OT and the NT that a soul survives the physical body is overwhelming. Christendom has this right.
