Is God constantly creating new souls? Did he have them made in advance? Or I he recycling some?

I can't help but wonder where all the new people are coming from. Earth's population has been steadily increasing for ceturies now, and quite some time ago there wasn't but 1 billion people on the planet and now theres almost 7 billion. Where is God getting the new souls from?

I'm sure he creates them. I don't know of any Bible verse to back this up, but since he created the whole universe, I'm sure he can make a soul. I doubt he'd be recycling them, because that'd mean that soul would have a possibility of going to hell and heaven if in one life that soul accepted God, but then in the second life it didn't choose God. That is unbiblical. He may or may not have made them in advance, that is a question you'd have to ask God once you enter heaven. :)
 
Recycling? That would be reincarnation... Which obviously goes against biblical teachings.
 
Did he have them made in advance?
Jeremiah 1:5 I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.

Can you think of a better Pro Life argument than this? Scripture tells us that God creates all souls and that He knows in advance every soul He is going to create.

Then why would he use the ones he knows will be evil?

I think the Lord creates all of us. I think everyone born is a new person. (I don’t believe in reincarnation.)
 
The soul is the mind and heart together and is part of one's spirit. It's really best to ask if God is constantly creating new spirits.

The answer is yes He is.

I believe infinite creativity is pouring out from God. It's natural, He's alive, it's what He does.

Isaiah 57:16 "the souls I have made"

7 billion people, and all different. Wow!

I'm 55 years old and I'm still struck with wonder every day. ... Best wishes to you.
