mystery of body soul spirit and coma.

[angels4u]

People who are in coma and who do not respond with any body movement to pain, do not have any speech, and; do not open their eyes. ...and who are kept alive with a machine , I wonder what does the Bible teach about their soul and spirit, would they be in the body as long as the body is kept alive?

Sometimes you hear of people coming out of a coma after a ling time....

I read the book "While my sister sleeps" by Barbara Delinsky and this came up in the book and it makes me wonder..

God made man in His image. Just as God is a three part God...God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Man is in three parts as well. We have a soul (which is our mind, will, and emotions), spirit, and we live in a body. To answer your question...as long as the body is alive, the soul and spirit is still in the body as well. Our spirit man never sleeps and our soul is still active. The mind is conscious and then it has a subconscious. If a person is a vegetable we do not have the power to decide to take that life. God is the only one who can give and take life. When people are in comas they still hear. I have heard of situations where their spirit came out of the body and they were able to hear and see what was being said and going on. It is just amazing how God created us and the ability He put in man.

If someone is alive and in a coma, it's just like sleeping (IMHO). Anyone who is alive, has their spirit and soul in their body. They wake up from a coma in the same condition that we wake up from sleep.

If someone is dead and on a machine, they are still dead.. and the spirit and body are seperate.

I heard a testimony of a girl who was in a coma and kept alive via machine.

When she came out of the coma, she told her family about having been with "Father God and Jesus", and that Jesus sent her back to be with her family.

If I am in a coma, please find someone to pull the plug. I would do it for my brother, because he asked me, and if his family (all saved), agreed, and I have asked the same of him.

If I am "with Jesus" in the coma, He will decide if it should happen or not anyway. I would be guided by the Spirit on what to do.

Hey you are half way there, why wait?

You may start the "discussion"

Only God knows the exact moment of death.

Only God knows the exact moment of death.

So True

Thank you so much for replying,life is a mystery isn't is?

When my Dad when dying (last year) the doctors gave him morfine for the pain in the end he was asking when his funeral was during his sleep ,he was alive but I think his mind was ahead of him. I that case the soul and spirit leave the body when there is no more life in him and they stop the morfine?

He took one big breath and coughed some and it was over, I expected knowing my Dad was a Chrisitian to maybe sense angels around me ,but I didn't all of a sudden it was over.

Did anybody read "My sister sleeps?"

[Psalm3720]

Keep in mind that Jesus was able to raise the dead. The dead can still be miraculously raised today, so if one is a coma, it is not too late. They have not crossed an uncrossable threshold.

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

According to the book of James, as long as their body is alive, than their spirit must be in it.

People who are in coma and who do not respond with any body movement to pain, do not have any speech, and; do not open their eyes. ...and who are kept alive with a machine , I wonder what does the Bible teach about their soul and spirit, would they be in the body as long as the body is kept alive?
