Do you think only humans have a soul?

Animals, like the seagulls who always steal my fishing bait. They wait (purposely) for me to turn my head then take what is not there's. Also, animals always fight with each other, like dogs over food, they dont share with each other. Animals are stingy and greedy.

That's true, unless they are feeding their young of coarse and then that's survival of their kind. Instinct.

Not my knowledge. It's a teaching that is taught in some areas of Christianity. I have heard it before. However, Jesus said to people, go and sin no more.

Yes, I've heard it before to, in fact I used to believe it. We are sinning even when we don't know it....everyday.....
 
That is all that I am going to say on sin.Many may not agree.But I think I have given my 2 cents worth. :lol

There are some areas of Christianity that teach that we are sin because we're sinners rather than we are sinners because we sin. It's a big difference.

It is very possible to sin everyday and not even know that you are doing it.Gossip,li

There is inherited sin,imputed sin and personal sins.The list of what a sin is,is huge.

I think I'd know if I were gossiping.

What is inherited sin and imputed sin? Can I do these? Can I do these without knowing it?

Hi Kathi,

We're not saying anyone is sinless, we've all sinned. The thing is that it should be in the past, not everyday.

Hi kiwidan,

But we're not talking about animals, we're talking about humans. However, I don't think that the animals are sinning. In order to sin one must be able to distinguish right from wrong. The seagulls you speak of are simply finding food and avoiding danger. They don't reason that the bait is yours and they should not take it.

It is just that no one really agrees with me.I am a lone soul on this messageboard.For some reason that comes off as kind of funny to me.Why not laugh?

Kathi, you have made some really good points on this forum that I have agreed with and said so.
It appeared that maybe you were just being rude by laughing. So I asked. I'm glad that wasn't the case.:) Thanks for responding.

Gday Kathi sometimes on message boards people don't always voice agreement but they often voice disagreement. What I mean is people often take it for granted when they agree, and say nothing, but think they need to speak out when they disagree. This makes it seem like the disagreements are greater lol.

I have a tendency to laugh at myself.It is really quite healthy sometimes.No one should take themselves to seriously.

Yes,it is like going to a department store and if someone is very kind they usually do not hear about it.But if they are rude the whole store will hears about it.

I agree, it's good to laugh at yourself in a healthy way. Sometimes I take too many things, too seriously.
I'm getting better about though, I Think.
Blessings to you.

Yeah that's very true. You've reminded me to show gratitude more frequently ta :)
 
Answer to OP question...I think so. Although perhaps Angels do too. As I understand the Bible states that WE are made a little lower them.
