Okay, seeing through this, thank you for sharing. What I am seeing here, God breathed into Adan and Adam became a living Soul. Man became flesh, God breathed into Adam and he became a living Soul, with flesh attached.
What translations tend to tuck away when unfolding the Hebrew text?

The what is translated "breath of life" is actually a plurality = breath of lives.

It explains why Adam was a "living" soul.

Interesting and thank you for willingly sharing==, as we all are growing in different stages unto Father's maturity as in. Hebrews 5:12- Chapter 6

I see, saw, where Jesus breathed on to the disciples and said receive the Holy Ghost
John 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

I, asked Father and Father gave, and I did not see it right away, going through this earth life here first, in my ignorance as Paul who was Saul under Law first too

The Breath of Lives (plurality) was the Lord breathing into the nostrils a human soul AND A HUMAN SPIRIT!

Adam received a spiritually alive soul! Hence.. "Became a living soul."
A human soul without a human spirit is why Jesus referred to unbelievers as "dead."
"Let the dead bury their own dead." Luke 9:60​

Genesis 2 is not about a second creation of man.
Genesis 2:1-3 should really be included in chapter 1.

Genesis 2:4 – Genesis 4:26 reveals the generations of the heavens and of the earth:

Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens



Does the Hebrew bible contain chapter breaks? ... and, if so, are they haphazard like what we see in various versions (ESV, NIV, KJV, NASB, etc., etc.)?

When a person is born again, God creates new life within the born again one ... new creation!!! :cool:

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

When God is Elohim in the Hebrew? It is a plurality.
Perhaps You are not looking at the subject matter correctly. Why the Pronoun God? It is actually A Proper pronoun, A Person as We think of It. However, God is not person, God, Elohim, is The Creator of This Creation.
This seems to be overlooked by most of Todays Bible Readers.
But actually , God is not even a person as We think of a person being just that. God is Pure Spirit; which I do not think we understand. I feel that when God is talked of in A human way, it lacks much. Mankind tends to think as, Mankind!
I do not feel that I need to say more about this subject. Blessings.

What is the, THESE ?
What is the New Creation that a person in Christ Jesus Becomes? Or, is it a person, or a spirit ? Why would the physical have any place in the Spiritual realm ? Is it not desirable to leave the flesh behind, and take on the Spiritual?
What happened to Cain ? What happened to Abel ? Who were They ? ?

Sounds like you assume that when using 'person' it can only pertain to a human being.

I don't know what you mean by "the, THESE".

The "New Creation" is that which God creates within the believer at the time he or she is born again.




DeepSeeker said:

here are the verses in which the term "new man" is used:

Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

we know from Eph 4:24 that the "new man" is after God ... "new man" is created in righteousness and true holiness.

we know from Col 3:10 that the "new man" is renewed in knowledge ... the "new man" is after the image of Him that created him.




DeepSeeker said:
Why would the physical have any place in the Spiritual realm ?
I think it's the other way around ... the spiritual is revealed in the physical through the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.




DeepSeeker said:

Isn't that what is being done when the born again one puts off the "old man" and puts on the "new man" ?

Ephesians 4:22-24 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Cain and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve.

you can read about them in Genesis 4. There are also online biblical research sites and you can search for "Cain" and "Abel" to see what Scripture reveals.

Do you know anything?

You ask these questions as not one seeking understanding.
But, rather. As one wishing to obfuscate and break up a chain of logic.
