Greetings BillyK! There are several ways of looking at your question. Some believe that a human being is made up of soul, spirit, and body. Others believe that human beings are made up of soul and body. Personally, I prefer to use Gen. 2:7 (KJV), "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Thus, I believe that essentially, a human being is a unity of physical and spiritual. That unity will continue after the resurrection according to Scripture. Now, to you question. Whichever of the above views one adopts, there is no evidence in Scripture that our spirit/souls existed before conception. John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit while he was in the womb (Lk. 1:15). Jeremiah was called from the womb (Jer. 1:5). David was sinful from conception (Ps. 51:5). However, there is never any mention of a life or soul being in existence prior to conception. So, the answer to your question is that our souls/spirits did not come from anywhere. They were created by God (directly or indirectly) at conception. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I think that the Soul of a man,is from God himself,it is the Spirit of God which is the essence of God.Gen.2:7,the act of God breathing into the nostrils of a created man,means that God brathe out of himself,himself,into man,thus making man a living soul.So you see we are who God is.Our souls were not created but rather,it is creation.We are born out of who God the creator is.Our souls come from the mind of God which is revealed in the act of him breathind into us. | ||||||

Greetings Dawveed! Thanks for the response! My question though is: Do you have Scripture to back this up? In Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: Now I know what to call you, Charis, EdB, Hank, Nolan, Prayon, Koinekid, CDBJ, myself, etc. We are THE BEREANS (Acts 17:11). The above list is by no means comprehensive or exhaustive. Notice I used the word "etc." in the list. I know there are other Bereans on the Forum. If I inadvertently left anyone out, I offer my sincere apologies. |
