    We have been discussing verses that don't mention the creation or forming of a human spirit or soul, yes. I have also posted many that do mention that. They all discuss that in terms of God creating, not man or some law forming.

    That is because you choose to interpret them, at will, to refer to some law originating from the garden of Eden rather than what it says which is that God gives spirit or breath to each man. Effectively your method of interpretation implies that it would literally be impossible for the Bible to state that God creates each spirit or soul because whatever the Bible would say, you would reinterpret it to fit your view, at will.

    I did...it says HE GIVES BREATH...since you used it addressing the topic I merely asked how this proves your point? If it is literal are you saying He gives it each time personally as with the spirit at conception?

    For ME it simply affirms God's created and sustains all life as we know it...what else are you looking for?

    Genesis 1:27-28 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
    27 So God created humankind[a] in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
    28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
    Multiply is the same word used in vs 22 speaking of the rest of living creation so the command to reproduce after their own kind is implied where mankind is concerned…
    There is nothing in this passage, that established creation, that states or implies mankind’s procreation command as a triune being is any different from that of the animals or plants that are not. I see no reason to believe when God stated, reproduce after your own kind’ that that is not a law of nature established for all, including humans…therefore I do see other passages as simply affirming God is the giver of all life and the one who sustains it simply by not speaking and changing that initial law…

    So maybe it would help if YOU addressed these scriptures from their context? The passages you are using do not alter that interpretation unless you choose for them to, seems to me..they affirm it. None of them are actually stating God creates a new spirit at conception yet here in Genesis we have a full context that does address the whole issue of procreation…why would we not start here?

    In Genesis that same term is used when God 'breathed' into Adam's nostrils. It is believed unanimously that this was the impartation of the spirit life in Adam as God did this with no other of His creation. God Himself breathed HIS life into Adam...that is why the term does in some places speak of breath, or spirit or soul or life as the same thing...


    1Ki 17:17

    And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath H5397 left in him.
