https://www.jewishnotgreek.com/ Greetings All, Several yrs ago I made a post suggesting that the idea of an immortal soul is not Biblical. I had no evidence and I was shot down. However I've continued to think I'm right. I know the Bible fairly well and there isn't even 1 solid verse that would lead me to believe we are born with an immortal soul. Quite to the contrary I read over & over in both the OT & the NT that the soul who sins will die. I read that the only way to gain immortality is by accepting Jesus as Lord & savior. I was almost certain an immortal soul was a pagan idea that got into early Christianity. This made sense since the early church fathers were almost all practicing pagans before accepting Jesus. I believe Plato made the idea of an immortal soul popular. Today I found the proof and I needed. Here are 2 sites that explain this fallacy http://jewishnotgreek.info/, https://www.jewishnotgreek.com/. I hope the board has an open mind nowadays.

I've just discovered this literal translation from greek of the Lord's prayer. "Father of ours who 's in * heaven, hallowed be thy name of yours, come thy kingdom of yours, arise thy will of yours, as in heaven, also on earth. This bread of ours that 's for the coming day give us this day. And free us from these debts of ours as also we have freed those debtors of ours. And do not lead us into trial, but draw us to you, away from that which is grievous ." It looks completely astonishing to me. What is the coming day and why should we ask that bread of the coming day today? Moreover, "DRAW US TO YOU, AWAY from that which is grievous" seems to have an even stronger meaning than how is usually interpreted. Especially for a prayer that starts with "Father of ours who is in Heaven". What does this translation inspire you?
