Christians, I have a question about the soul and a condition called "Chimera", can you help me?

A human chimera is, to put it as simply as possible, the result of the fusion of two fertilized eggs into one. The resulting person would therefore, according to the Christian belief that we are all imbued with a soul at the exact moment of fertilization, possess within them TWO separate souls.

Basically, I just want to know what you think about this. Is this true? Can one physical body hold two souls within? If so, how exactly does that work? How do THEY attain salvation? Do they both have to agree to accept Jesus?

Here's more information about Chimerism (at Wikipedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_%28genetics%2...

    you also have the identical twins with "half souls" because the soul enters at conception.

    I'm not sure, since there is no actual evidence of my theory, but I would guess that God would still give them one soul. This is kind of like the cloning question. Just because two people have the same DNA doesn't mean they have to share a soul. They would attain salvation though Jesus.

    And if they did have two souls, and one accepted Jesus, I'm sure it would still attain salvation.

    This question is really out of my knowledge, since I've never heard of this, but I hope you get the answer you are looking for.

    Catholics are the unique Christians. the 1st church, which Christ started replaced into the Catholic church. For the 1st thousand years, there replaced into basically one Christian Church. In 1054, it chop up into 2 branches, the eastern Orthodox Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church. there have been basically 2 Christian branches for yet another 500 years. In 1518, Martin Luther started a third branch, Protestantism. The third branch splintered into many denominations. you're in all hazard recognizing that Catholics are no longer Protestants. the unique Christian Church remains Catholic. The Amish is between the numerous Protestant denominations. Jehovah Witnesses are no longer a Protestant denomination yet an offshoot of Christianity because of the fact they suspect Jesus is the angel Michael and not the Son of God.

    Hi, jesus gives no salvation, thats a pagan lie.

    Explain better the thing on the soul, because a soul is made from 3 to 7 diferent parts, so the chimeras may be sharing pieces but never whole souls.

    And what does salvation means, i dont trust those christian fake.

    Source(s): fake sounds similar to faith

    no one really knows when the soul becomes apart of the body. you cannot have two souls, only one. siamese twins have one soul each, but their bodies are conjoined.

    everyone gets salvation in the same way

    If the 2 become 1 in body and mind, is it so hard to believe that they become 1 in spirit?

    Thats an interesting question. Do you have an answer or are you just trying to upset people?

    I believe you are speaking of siamese twins, or conjoined twins.

    Our souls live in our minds, therfore every mind has a soul.

    I hope this helps clarify.

    God Bless You....Peace.

    i don't think anyone here is qualified to answer that question. as my passing thought and opinion i would guess the souls would become unified or adversly possibly create a sort of jekyl and hyde scenario.........whatever happens after that i gotta leave that call to god.

    "If".. there are two minds(as in conjoined twins) then the implication is two separate Souls(mind,will,emotions). In this case there are two Souls and two Spirits(inner person,heart,the real you) and only one shared body.
