Yes, I agree that the breath of life made man a living soul. However, it's import to also understand that the breath of life also made animals living souls. Therefore, I view the "breath of life" as what animates man's, or animal's, body.
Genesis 2:7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the
breath (nis mat) of life (hay yim), and the man became a
living (le ne pes) soul (hay yah).
Genesis 2:19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed
f every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every
living (ne pes) soul (hay yah), that was its name.
Genesis 7:15 They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath
(ru ah) of life (hay yim).
Genesis 7:20-22 The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits
d deep.
21And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the
breath (nis mat) of life (hay yim) died. He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens.
Therefore, I believe it is on physical death that man/creature loses the "breath of life".
Because of Adam's transgression, which resulted in us being dead in our sin.
Depends on what you mean by "indwelling of the Spirit of God". If you mean breath of life, no, adam did not lose that when ate from the fruit. Adam lived physically, after he at the fruit, until 930 years.
There is no scripture or teaching that Adam received the Holy Spirit in the garden. It is the natural that was first: adam being a living soul and then the spiritual: last adam became a living -giving spirit.
1 corinthians 15:45-47 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”;
e the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven
Adam was a "type" of the one to come: Jesus
Romans 5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
First it was the natural: Adam, a living soul, through whom death came to all
then the spiritual: Christ, a life-giving spirit, through whom life comes to those in Christ.
1 corinthians 15:45-47 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”;
e the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
47The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven
IMHO, this passage is in regards to the bodily resurrection (anastasis) from the dead which occurs at Christ's coming.
IMHO, being dead in sin is intimately tied to physical death. When Adam sinned, he became dead in his sin, and his access to the tree of life was removed, resulting in his eventual physical death.
When Christ came, he lived a perfect life, died, and rose again. The exact antitype of Adam. This gave spiritual life to those in Christ, guaranteeing our future resurrection from the dead and eternal life, reversing the very curse brought about by Adam.
No, it wasn't the 2nd death.
The bible teaches a lot death occurred after adam. Noah died, Abraham died, isaac died, jacob died, moses died, David died, etc.......See hebrews 11,
Adam's death = death for all man kind = being dead in sin and eventual physical death.
lake of fire = 2nd death = eternal judgment for those not in Christ
Christ's bodily resurrection (first resurrection) raised us from being dead in sin.
Being raised from being dead in our sins leads to our future bodily resurrection.
A first resurrection implies a 2nd resurrection.
Good, so we are in agreement that those who are in Christ, and have been raised from being dead in their sin by partaking in Christ's resurrection, are a part of the royal priesthood of God, while they remain in Christ.
1 peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
please notice that those who partake in the first resurrection (christ's resurrection as we agree) will be a kingdom of priests. As we appear to agree, this is a present reality for those in Christ.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
No disagreements that those who who fall away can be hurt by the 2nd death. However, I am not talking about those who fall away.
I am talking about those whom God foreknew and chose before the foundation of the world that are predestined to be conformed to the image of His son.
Ephesians 1:4-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
Romans 8:28-230 and we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,
h for those who are called according to his purpose.
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
Those whom God foreknows and predestines to be conformed into the image of son are guaranteed to never be hurt by the 2nd death, would you disagree?
OSAS only refers to the those specifically in Christ, that God foreknew, that overcome till the end.
So you disagree that God foreknows who would come to His son in faith and repentance and remain in Him till death?
You believe the 2nd death can hurt those whom God foreknew would remain in His son till their death?
Looks like we are in agreement, that those who partake in the 1st resurrection (christ's resurrection), and are raised from being dead in their sins, and overcome till the end, will never be hurt by the 2nd death.
1.) Prior to physical death, During the life of those whom God foreknew would overcome till the end, was the promise of eternal life true?
2.) Prior to physical death, During the life of those whom God foreknew would overcome till the end, could the 2nd death ever hurt them?
