Ive been struggling with this answer for so long and I suppose this falls into the category of Christian apologetics.
My question is: as humans our “soul” is essentially our conciousness, right? That resides in the brain. If not our soul, then our entire personhood. That is what God judges.
Yet this doesn’t seem like a fair system at all. Some are born with, for example, a bipolar disorder, which can of course lead to sin (anger, impulsive decisions, etc). This applies to many many other conditions out there that create unique situations in which their judgment is impaired and they cannot fully be held against their actions. Someone with a clear conscious since childhood has a higher likely hood of being righteous, no?
I find the human experience so incredibly fascinating, but when I pay attention to what forms a conscious, you, this can change. This sounds dark, but you can get drugged one night and your personality changes forever. YOU are changed forever. There are many situations like this that directly affect the brain, which like I said, is you.
Does God form the soul after you die? Does God factor in your life’s circumstances?
