The Soul
Who are you?
9
The Soul
Plato said that the soul is like the rider of a
chariot. The horses represent your body and your
mind. After death your soul lives on. This is
called dualism.
10
The Soul
Aristotle said that the soul and the body were
linked and you could not have one without the
other. The body is the material of a thing and
the soul is its function. He used the examples
of an Axe or an eye.
11
The Soul
Most Christians including Roman Catholics believe
that the soul has to have a body. One cannot
exist without the other. This means that when you
die you get a new body for your eternal life.
12
The Soul
Christians believe that God breathed life into
Adam at creation. The breath of God symbolises
our uniqueness amongst all the animals.
Animals dont have souls.

Heaven
Christians have different views about
heaven. Some say, God loves us so everyone will
go to heaven
14
Heaven
Christians have different views about
heaven. Others say, only Christians go to
heaven, because everyone has sinned.
15
Heaven
Christians have different views about
heaven. Others say, Good people will go to
heaven when they have paid for their sins.
16
Hell
Hell is a place of everlasting suffering. Some
Christians believe that all who havent accepted
Jesus will burn there for eternity.
Others might believe that a loving God could
never send someone to such a place.
17
Purgatory
Roman Catholics believe in a middle place between
Heaven and Hell called Purgatory. In purgatory
you pay for your sins. This means that Roman
Catholics will sometimes pray
for dead people to help them to get into heaven.
18
Annihilation
Some Christians think that if you die without
turning to Christ you are simply destroyed. They
think this is more loving than being sent to Hell.
19
Salvation

Funerals
Not all Christian Funerals are the same. Some are
a celebration of life..
Others will show that although loss is sad, there
is hope in life after death. Christians may be
buried or cremated.
