The way you phrase your question I cannot answer. Is there a relation? Yes, to a degree. I will give you want I know about soul, and you can figure it out.
The verse in
Gen 2:7 is a figure of speech (anthropopatheia) or
condescension. Which is the ascription of human passions, action, or attributes… to God …since God is Spirit.
Soul (
nephesh) or soul life (
nephesh chay) is in the blood. Soul life was first created in mammals in
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
The word
living is
chay = living or alive
The word
creature is
nephesh = soul
Where is the soul
Lev 17:11 For the life (nephesh) of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
The word
life is the word (
nephesh) = soul
The life of the soul is in the blood.
We know blood is what sustains life: Oxygen is delivered throughout the body by means of the red blood cells ….actually… it is the hemoglobin molecules from the red cells that deliver the oxygen to the individual cells in the body tissue. The bloodstream also picks up CO2 from the body and returns it to the lunges to be exhaled…
When we die?
The heart, which pumps the blood, which delivers the oxygen to the brain …… stops….. soul life ceases in that particular person…. but is carried on through prodigy. But if there is no offspring, the soul is gone when that person dies;
I was hoping for some more clear dialogue about this from others, I know it's difficult to explain, and your understanding helped me to see something but I'm still not clear.
I don't think this is easily understood,
In one translation of Gen 2.7 it says God formed man out of the ground and man became flesh, then it says God breathed life in to man and he became a living soul,
Now in another translation Of Gen 2.7 it's says God breathed life into man and man became a living being.
So I have to assume this means when God breathed on Adam
The flesh became alive with a living mind and developed a conscience,
When we then look to scripture we see People of the old t in different realms, who where yet to be born of the holy spirit, so it must be there mind and conscience that goes there,
so then we have to believe a human body is able to give birth to a mind and conscience but still different in some way to each person.
Because the way im seeing this If God breathed life in to each new creation at birth each person would be a new Adam or eve.
Separate to all this if we only have a mind and conscience befor we recieve the spirit that means our minds are protected and saved for ever, because man and woman failed to keep there minds uncorrupted, the mind and conscience of living man needed a saviour a different type of a free will in the form of a new seed, from Jesus. Which where the fruits of the spirit,
Scriptures says we will know our brothers and sisters by there fruits, which means there character expressed from there mind and heart, which has been blessed by the holy spirit.
Jeremiah 1.5
we see scripture that says I knew you befor you where in your mother's womb,
does that apply to Jeremiah only and nobody else, Jeremiah was a special person a prophet.
How can we assume that Jeremiah 1.5 means everybody.
