Why is it a bad thing to have the ability to think for yourself that is what being human is.
That is the biggest reason why we are human the biggest reason we have emotions.
Why would god a "perfect" being deny us emotion and thought. If anything that should
make you question why, why would he not want us to have the ability to think for ourselves.
Is it because one day we would know he isn't all perfect and he isn't all good. Because if anything
god has the qualities of a dictator because he strips your ability to think away when you are in
heaven... and he always wants you to worship and obey him... doesn't that even bother you??
Maybe, but the way someone described it, it would be like a constant high so maybe not.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

If a human soul is perfect, how could it be tarnished? The ability to be tarnished is itself an imperfection.
Do you believe that God can be tarnished and made imperfect?
I see from your later comments that you imagine the soul and mind are not the same thing. I would ask, what is the difference between the mind and the soul?, but it seems more important to point out the fact that if man has a bad mind, then God made a mistake in creating people with bad minds. That also suggests that God must have a bad mind, if man is made in the image of God.

The soul is just the connection between man and God. Without it, we would not be like God.

How is God racist?
God is naturally inhuman....it's called being supernatural.

Also god doesn't value human life yet he calls the devil evil when you compare how much god has killed to the devil who is the bad one?
and i meant to put Inhumane not inhuman.

Must admit, I haven't felt the urge to condemn anyone who doesn't show me unfaltering love and adulation to a pit of fire to scream and burn from now until the heat death of the universe lately...does this mean I lack a soul?

The universe recycles itself current findings show that the expansion has reached critical and now space time matter energy are collapsing back in on itself.

Heat death is clearly the superior cosmological model!
