[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Estimates vary, but 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage before 20 weeks. The rate is higher when including very early losses that occur before a person knows they are pregnant.

Do all these unborn babies remain basically clumps of cells? Do they grow in heaven? Do they remain adolescents forever?

That would be more like hell to never be able to mature into an adult or have the experience of childhood and growing up. [/quote]

A related question. For those who believe they will see their loved ones in heaven, what state will they be in? Will your mother be fit and beautiful in her 30s or will she be 85 with dementia and other ailments and unable to recognize you?[/quote]

souls don't have bodies. [/quote]

Souls are bodies, not separate from them. [/quote]

No souls are not bodies, lol… wtf.

They are very separate from them. The inhabit a body and live in eternity once a body dies.[/quote]

In Jewish tradition, souls are physically alive.

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2:7, KJV)

Here, we see that man is composed of two things: matter and breath. It doesn’t say here that God gave man a soul, but that he became a soul. In other words, this living soul was made of the physical, not the spiritual. We see God make other souls during creation as well.

And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” (Genesis 1:20)

If you consult an English/Hebrew translation, you’ll see that the word “creatures” is actually nephesh, the same word used to describe Adam as a “living soul.” Here, we see it accurately describe a living creature, just like we do in Genesis 1:21, 24, 30 (everything that has life).

If these two are the same things, it’s better to understand a soul as anything with a heartbeat.
