Souls are permanent and made of spirit. A body without a soul is called “dead.” Souls can live on their own, without bodies. Only in this world do we see souls stuck inside bodies. Spiritual beings are meant to live in a spiritual—rather than a material—world.
- What's the difference between spirit and matter?—Spirit and matter are two seemingly incompatible things which, when combined, make up "the world as we know it."
