In the Old and New Testaments of the [[Bible]], there are many records about the soul. By connecting and studying both the [[Old Testament]] and the [[New Testament]], we can find the fundamentals of the soul. “Where does the human soul come from?” “Why does our soul put on flesh and live in this sinful world?” “Where does our soul go after we die?” These three questions are the core truths that must be solved for the hope of mankind, who is destined to die after living a short life on earth. When we clearly know where the human soul comes from and where it goes, the goal of our faith and hope, too, can be clear. | In the Old and New Testaments of the [[Bible]], there are many records about the soul.
