No, they are called a dead soul if your interpretation is correct, meaning God is God of the dead according to you.Soul= a breathing being. Once not breathing one is no longer a soul. Genesis says he became a living soul, not was given a living soul.
'And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,Anything or anyone 'living' comes from God. So, if man became a 'living' soul when before he was only dust of the ground, then the soul comes from God. So, how does something from God - in this case a soul - become eternally separated from Him?Well, first we must define what the soul is and according to Scripture in many places that one can discern it from a lifeless body - it is mind, intellect, senses, emotions, conscience, and will. And being animated by God because it comes from Him and is added to the body, we can now determine how a soul can be [eternally] separated from God.
The existence of a living soul is not a matter of covenant, but of creation. You are introducing something that has no bearing on what a soul is.Right now, the soul IS separated from God. Let's just say that the Heavenly Tabernacle of which the earthly Tabernacle was fashioned from was buzzing with activity just as the earthly Tabernacle was with a high priest, blood and flesh and incense offering, etc. There are not many references but there is enough to draw out the activity taken place in the Heavenly Tabernacle before God created (first and second) heaven, earth, and man and the bible says so.
The first thing to understand and accept is that God shows Himself saving through covenant. All three salvation covenants in the Hebrew Scripture does show these covenants were made by God and included a Hebrew man and extended in time to his biological seed.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. Gen. 17:6–7.
Now, before I go on, I want to first make sure you understand and accept that this is a covenant between God, Abram the Hebrew, and his Hebrew seed (Sarah was Abraham's niece and wife meaning she was Hebrew also and both from the family of Eber. Abraham's father and Sarai's father were brothers) and accept that there are no non-Hebrews or later, a people identified as non-Hebrew Gentiles in this covenant. Do you see any non-Hebrews or non-Hebrew Gentiles in this covenant?
Yes or No?
Sorry to hear that you want to bifurcate an act of God at creation from His plan for a people He in the course of time will call out for Himself. The doctrine of man is just as important as the doctrine of salvation and to whom God chooses to give it to. And as we progress through the Hebrew Scripture, we find many clues that offer understanding into the creation of man, his trichotomy and how this figure into the completed product of the new man the Scripture identifies as a person who has been born-again by the Spirit of God. In order to understand the born-again phenomenon requires understanding the creation of man and the determination of his make-up goes to understanding him completed in Christ or the Spirit.'And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.'
(Gen 2:7)
Hello @jeremiah1fove,
The soul is the whole person within whom is the breath of life. Without the breath of life there can be no living soul. This needs no debate, just the faith to believe what God has said.
The existence of a living soul is not a matter of covenant, but of creation. You are introducing something that has no bearing on what a soul is.
Yet again you are seeking to infiltrate into this thread, as with many others, the subject of the covenant. You appear to have an obsession with the subject @jeremiah1five. If you want to discuss that subject yet again, I suggest you start your own thread devoted to it, and allow others to pursue the myriad of other subjects which they wish to discuss unhindered.
In Christ Jesus

Became a living soul---not was given a living soul. Even the fish are called Nepheshin hebrew npsh = a living being - body And soul. that was before the fall.
psuche is not npsh as npsh , as things came to be after the fall, only includes the tiny bit of you in this body .. the invisible soul, not including flesh... and the soul here and now is not the body meant by npsh, and not the soul meant by npsh, since the very nature of body and soul was one undivided imperishable soul in eden ...gad we listened to Him and not cooperated with the evil realm...
the soul in eden was the living being... whereas now this body has a different nature and different needs and wants as does the soul. it is the flesh which wars with God... and the flesh whose law is sin and death.
this flesh dies and is the dead body of haggai... and cannot enter eden paradise (being part of death), just as God warned Adam.
at our rapture souls will be restored to the original glorified body made for us in eden - which is not a creature and has no animal nature as this body does have.
nepesh in eden has zero to do with our current ape bodies here. Eden was never on this earth.Became a living soul---not was given a living soul. Even the fish are called Nephesh
Are you saying that Genesis 1 and 2 are not true?World in its basic sense always refers to this earth and or this cosmos
NOT a system.
God did not create this earth or body.
At what point then did God move man from the paradise He created in Eden to this Earth?God's Eden paradise was never on this earth.
Get realnepesh in eden has zero to do with our current ape bodies here. Eden was never on this earth.
God did not put us here, adam didAre you saying that Genesis 1 and 2 are not true?
At what point then did God move man from the paradise He created in Eden to this Earth?
You said that God did not create this Earth, nor man's body. And that God's Eden Paradise was never on this Earth. All of that is in direct contradiction of Genesis 1 and 2.God did not put us here, adam did
after the fall, by his sin
we left eden , no ? our land..You said that God did not create this Earth, nor man's body. And that God's Eden Paradise was never on this Earth. All of that is in direct contradiction of Genesis 1 and 2.
So:
Are you saying that Genesis 1 and 2 are not true?
If God's paradise in Eden was never on this Earth, at what point then did God move man from the paradise He created in Eden to this Earth?
Ahhh, that makes sense. (dripping sarcasm)we left eden , no ? our land..
sin entered into what God created perfect
so...we are now in a Fallen place, which God warned Adam was Death.
Not sort of death or partly death or a metal state. Death. Separation
literally from eden and God , as , in a different place.
So... Yes, I know that prosperity and other views
want to paint this earth as nice and from Him..
but I'm saying no... it's not.
Correct, He cast us out of the perfect garden He had made, and sin caused thorns, briars, pests, disease, natural disasters, and other problems to enter into the world God had created.nothing ugly is allowed in His paradise...
and this is certainly NOT His paradise.
Yes, and no. Scripture says that salvation is experienced in all three tenses:And being in the carnal self and flesh is not mental or some state...
...it is literally real. We are in the fallen place and situation Adam brought.
Being saved is the same as with all his saints - we have his promise
to be saved..and are not de facto saved. yet.
True, but we also can know that we are saved now (John 5:13).His souls will be saved when we meet Christ upon the clouds.
