Nov 21, 2023 · If we view the word soul as the ability to express emotions, then, yes, God has a soul—He is not “soulless” in the sense of having no feeling. But we normally use the word soul in the context of humanity. In fact, some would define the soul as that immaterial part of us that links the spirit with the body. The Father is not human.

Jan 4, 2022 · Third, Genesis 2:7 tells us that man became a living soul (KJV). The word soul in Hebrew is nephesh, meaning “an animated, breathing, conscious, and living being.” Man did not become a living soul until God breathed life into him. As a physical, animate, rational, and spiritual being, man is unique among all living things upon the earth.
God the Father and the Holy Spirit are able to feel (Ezekiel 5:13; Psalm 103:13; Ephesians 4:30). Jesus, the Son of God, is a spiritual being and also a human with a soul and a spirit. He is our link to God, interceding on our behalf (Hebrews 7:25). Jesus is God and He has a soul. So, in that sense, yes, God has a soul. Return to: Truth about God.

First, the Bible indicates that God formed man from the “dust of the ground.” We all know that our physical body is of the same elements as the earth. It is with our body that we are able to live in this material universe. Our body gives us our outward form and is the organ for us to contact the material realm (note 3 on Gen. 2:7in the Recovery Ver...
Second, God breathed in this earthen container “the breath of life”—the human spirit. This Hebrew word, neshamah, is the same word as for “spirit” in Proverbs 20:27where it says, “The spirit of manis the lamp of Jehovah, searching all the innermost parts of the inner being.” Part of a footnote on the expression “breath of life” in the Recovery Vers...
The issuing of God breathing the “breath of life,” the human spirit, into man’s physical body is that man became a “living soul.” I can’t express this point any better than the footnote does, How wonderful, that God made you a living soul with a mind, emotion and will for His purpose. With your mind, you can receive and understand the words in this...

Jan 16, 2024 · The personhood of God mirrors human personhood found in the soul, just to an infinite degree. So in a philosophical sense, we could conclude the answer is yes, God does have a “soul” – the very source and essence of all life and personhood derive from His divine nature.

The “soul,” in the Bible, is a whole person with consciousness, desires and emotions. The book of Proverbs says, “The laborer’s appetite works for him” (Proverbs 16:26). The Hebrew word for “appetite” here (nephesh) can also be translated as “desires” or “needs.”. So the desires of a worker’s soul compel him to work.
