I think Jehovah's Witnesses might be unique in that they do not profess belief in an immortal soul. As far as I am aware all other religions profess this belief, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and all the denominations of Christendom.

Christianity does not profess this belief.

An excellent passage from Paul, the essence of which was stated by Christ and all the other Apostles in different ways.

The JWs call it "everlasting life", not "eternal life", because eternal life means even after we depart this life and exist as our soul, and to call it "everlasting" rather than "eternal" means "not forever, but only while we still have this life". Similarly, they change "immortality" into "incorruptibleness".

This is another example of how they change the words of the Bible to fit the square peg of scripture into the round hole of their doctrine.

Then I'm sure you can demonstrate from scripture how a human being has an "immortal soul"?

I would like to see that as well. Christ was clear that the soul can be destroyed.

The soul of James Brown could never be destroyed.

eternal life is not the same thing as the doctrine of the immortality of the soul.

Your Puritanism at work again I see. Man i bet the English were sending up balloons and rejoicing when you lot left Plymouth to inflict yourselves on the American natives.
