Resurrection Life of Jesus Church

THERE ARE NO SOUL “ALTERS”
I do not believe there is anything such a soul fragmentation or “alters.” God created Adam as a triune being with a physical body, a soul and a spirit.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

The soul and the spirit do not have two distinctive personalities. As a Christian, I have a soul that has been given a spiritual component in the form of a born again spirit which makes it possible for me to communicate with God in spirit and in truth.

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24)

The soul consists of a spiritual brain and body that is just as tangible as the physical body, but invisible to the human eye. At the death of a believer in Christ, the soul/spirit is taken to heaven. The soul is the real person, and in heaven, it won’t be encumbered by the physical body anymore. This newly freed soul can walk, talk, see, think, and retains the memories and skills learned on earth.

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” (Revelation 6:9-11)

The physical body is a replica of the soul body. In the Book of Revelation, we are given a picture of life in heaven. We discover that the souls who once lived in human bodies on earth are still able to stand on their own. They have a head and can think and reason with their soul brain; there is also a torso with arms and hands as well as legs and feet. They are able to speak praise to God.

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.

And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:9-17)

The physical brain in the human body is like a computer that the soul uses in order to function and communicate on earth.

A physical body can be likened to an automobile. I exist in my physical body on earth and there are times when I want to travel to different places. For instance, I can walk, but in order to save time, I can get into a car that I then control and use it to take me wherever I wish. If someone sees my car, they don’t identify the vehicle as me. Rather, they would distinguish me apart from my car and say, “There is John Torell driving around in his car.” When I am done with my road trip, I turn off the engine and leave it where it is parked. The car is now dead for all intents and purposes until I enter it the next time.

God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent and He alone possesses these attributes. Human beings and angels – holy and unholy – can only be in one place at one time. They do not have the capacity to split into separate parts like God.

The soul is created with a single mind and does not have the capacity to split itself into multiple parts. Even if it were possible, each part would not have the ability to reason, make decisions and operate as a separate entity or fragment. The soul is eternal but it can still suffer damage. This creates hidden information that is stored in the subconscious mind of the soul brain, causing severe damage to the soul as well as to the physical body.

One of its infamous activities of the Central Intelligence Agency was mind control. This is accomplished via traumas in form of electric shock administered to the brain, followed by a handler screaming at them, causing them to break them down until they no longer know who they are. They are given different personalities which can be called up by using certain catchphrases.

These damages can cause the soul mind to deviate from normal behavior and result in the person acting abnormal. The subconscious mind of the soul can be fractured in that it stores different traumas and closes those memories off from the conscious part of the soul brain. Nevertheless, God has built in a protection system for the soul, so that when a person is exposed to great trauma, the soul mind will send the memory of that trauma into the subconscious mind and block it from surfacing. For example, someone involved in a car accident may remember events prior to the collision, but the crash itself will become blocked and the person will remember nothing.

Some psychiatrists unknowingly use demonic powers to access the blocked memories through hypnosis, which is actually a demon with the capability of entering the subconscious mind and forcing the memory to resurface. This is a spiritual violation of the soul, effectively bypassing the soul mind, and when the person is taken out of the hypnotic state, they will have no memory whatsoever of what just took place.

SUMMARY
The teaching that the soul brain is fractured into entities called “alters” through traumas and mind control is unbiblical. These “alters” supposedly have their own personality, the power to reason, make decisions and become independent from the original soul brain. If true, the split soul would be a conundrum because God did not create the soul with the ability to split itself into independent parts, because if a soul could be split endlessly, which “alter” would Jesus save?

My deliverance ministry started in 1970 and during these years I have encountered split personalities caused by traumas, mind control and/or satanic ritual abuse. It is true that traumas inflicted great damage to the souls of these people and that they manifested different personalities, but these personalities were not “alters,” they were demons who attached themselves to the trauma damages and acted like they were different people living in the same soul.
