Hi, Father Christopher, We read that in the Old testament, Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt. Does that mean that she ceased to exist as a person?
Answer to Question 52
We are told that Lot’s wife turned back and was turned into a pillar of salt. Why this happened we are not told and I wouldn’t like to speculate on an answer. But to your question whether she ceased to exist as a person the answer is no. What happened to her happened to her body so the body ceased to exist but as with all humans the soul is eternal and continues to live in the spirit realm.
