AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 2:7 then the LORD God formed [that is, created the body of] man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit]. [1 Cor 15:45-49] |
Subject: The hebrew for soul means life |
Bible Note: The Hebrew here for soul is Nephish... meaning life... and is translated life several times in Chapter 1. Gen 2:7 clearly states that it was the combination of the spirit [breath of lives] with the perfect flesh of Adam, that animated him, and he became a living soul. We are not spirits living in a fleshly tent... there is no scriptural evidence of that... Jesus the man was not a spirit living in a tent either.. John 1:14 states He was made flesh [not appeared as flesh] and dwelt among us. At death the soul dies according to a hundred or more passages like Ezek 18:4, 20... The soul that sinneth, it shall die. So the term immortal soul is unscriptural, as the soul does die.. in fact according to Isaiah 53, at vs 10 it states prophetically that Jesus would give His soul [life, humanity] as an offering for sin... thats what perished on the cross,... the human soul that He was.. and the human did not raise again... for Peter states He died a living soul but was raised a quickened spirit... 1 Peter 3:18 |
