The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Two souls for one person?

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Then we are back to my original question. This woman is the product of two fertilized eggs. Therefore, two souls. What happened to the extra soul if she only has one?</font><hr></blockquote><p>Again, hehehe..... you are assuming that there are "two souls" because of the two fertilized eggs. But with all speculation aside, I am confident that the creation of the soul is not an "automated" occurrence, but is rather the result of God's providence. Since I hold that God has foreordained all things, then each INDIVIDUAL has, from eternity, been foreknown by God in every detail, not excluding the joining of that person's unique soul to the body. Since this woman is but one individual, she has but one soul. If two fertilized eggs were somehow joined, then the two became one and perhaps that will suffice, even if you don't embrace the biblical doctrine of God's eternal decree?
