At birth, please explain how this is possible when a body is born with two heads? Each with their own thought process, personality and morals.

Why do you believe ensoulment is a happenstance of birth?

Better question is: if the soul enters at conception, does that mean that twins at best half souled or at worst half of all twins have no soul.

Does it matter? One soul enters the body at some point. So again to my question.

So basically you believe that conjoined twins share a soul? Why?

I don't think a soul "enters" a body. That presupposes - incorrectly, in my opinion - that there's a soul floating around without a body before that point.
Johnny2Fan

No,I don't think that. But I want to know how it is that one soul enters a body with two heads.
Johnny2Fan

Correct, but again, this is before an entry. Once the soul has entered, how is it possible to share two different personalities? Being that, as we are taught, one soul per body.

IMO pondering such is like pondering how many angels can dance on a head of a pin. Pointless.

I think you're trying to create a physical limitation on a metaphysical phenomenon. And even if not, we'd have to define "body" for what you're saying to make any logical sense.

And you're still presupposing some kind of temporal separation, before and after, outside and entry,and so on.

Even if I agreed with your premise of your inquiry, what purpose does this line of questioning lead?
Johnny2Fan
How long do you want to ignore this user?
It's pretty simple. One soul per human body. Correct? So how can one soul control two thinking heads attached to it? Both heads being different thinkers, making own decisions and learning. Orrrrrr,is it that one soul per body is wrong?

I don't think that the soul and body are separate... they begin together. God breathed life into Adam as soon as he was made.

Conjoined twins have a medical deformity like any other..and in heaven, their bodies will be made whole, just the same as we will be made whole.
Johnny2Fan
How long do you want to ignore this user?
You still danced around the question. Yes they are deformed. Buy WHILE here on earth, in that body with two heads. Is .....it.....one.....soul.....or..........twooooooo?????

Define body. Or are you suggesting the soul lives in the torso?
swimmerbabe11
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Does not the presence of two heads with two desires, tastes, temptations and faith imply that there are two souls?

Tailbone, obviously.

Finally! Do you feel there is more than one soul then? Even though we are told differently ?
Johnny2Fan
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Does it? If not how does the soul exist in one body? And finally does it matter since the story remains the same, one soul one body?

Exactly who is telling us one soul per "body?"

You brought the hypothetical, the thesis, and the loose definitions. Don't ask me to define them better for you.

This is a debate between traducianism and creationism.

Count me in the one soul per one will category. So if conjoined twins have the ability to will differently from each other, then they have different souls.

Though that brings up the problem of multiple personality disorder, if you believe it really exists. That would imply that each personality has its own soul. Luckily I don't think it's a real thing, so I'm off the hook

To actually answer the OP question..... it's 3 souls
Johnny2Fan

So nobody can explain it. Still a mystery.....

What's a mystery, exactly?

If you met conjoined twins and they introduced themselves to you "hi, I'm Ronnie" and the other said "howdy, im Donnie" ..then wouldn't it be terribly offensive if you were even asking this question and not treating them as individuals?


These are the names of a real pair of conjoined twins btw
