How does a "soul" (Gen. 2-7) relate to "His image" (Gen. 1:26 -27)?

[HAZARD]

Every living thing has a body, soul and spirit. The soul is that which feels and the spirit is that which knows. 

 

The body of any being is the outward form or house in which his soul and spirit dwells (Gen. 2:7, 19; John 5:28-29; Matt. 27:12; 1 Cor. 15:34-58; Jas. 2:26; 1 Thess. 5:23; Heb. 10:5-10). There are spiritual and natural bodies, or heavenly and earthly bodies; and both kinds are real (1 Cor. 15:40-49).

The soul is that invisible part of all living beings that feels, the seat of his affections, emotions, passions, and desires, and which gives him self consciousness and makes him a sentient being (Lev. 23:43; 1 Sam. 22:2; 30:6; 2 Sam. 13:39; 2 Kings 4:27; 23:3; Ps. 107:5, 9, 18, 26; Mark 12:33; Matt. 26:38; John 12:27; Heb. 10:38; Heb. 4:12).

The spirit is that invisible part of all living beings that knows, the seat of his intellect, mind, and will, and that which gives him self-determination and makes him a free moral agent and a rational being (1 Cor. 2:11; Matt. 26:41; Exodus 35:21; Job 38:8, 18; Prov. 20:27; Phil. 4:12; Jas. 2:26; 1 Thess. 5:23).

 

The Bible teaches that unsaved men do not have God's Spirit in them (Rom. 8:9-16; John 4:4-6); that God's Spirit is not received until the new birth (John 3:1-5; 14:17; Rom. 8:9-16) ; that there is a difference between the natural spirit of man and beasts (Eccl. 3:21) ; that there is a difference between breath and spirit (Job 34:15; Ps. 19:7; Luke 12:19; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 7:1) ; and that each creature has a separate spirit which is not a part of God (Num. 16:22; 27:17; Eccl. 3:21; Ezek. 21:7; Dan. 2:1-3; Mal. 2:15-16;  Prov. 16:2; 1 Cor. 2:10-12; 14:32; Heb. 12:9, 23; 1 Thess. 5:23).  If we try to substitute breath for soul and spirit in all of the above passages we will see how ridiculous such meanings are.

What does Gen. 2:7 tell us is the formula for man? Is this the definition of how God made us?

Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

I think what was 'breathed' into Adams 'dirt' form was Adams spirit.  Just as Abel was given to Eve and Seth and all down through history.  But in the beginning He had to do it different seeing as there was no 'womb' to work with.

I’m confused now.  I thought you had said that Spirits had no souls?  Please help me understand.  Thanks, kingdombrat.

I am saying they are 100% Spirit.   They can Manifest to Physical like Jesus did throughout the Old Testament, but Jesus was still the WORD which is 100% Spirit.

Good example is Demon Possession.   They are [factually] inside the human body of the possessed, but they are not in a manifested physical form inside the body even though they can harm the body physically.  They are in SPIRIT form inside your body.   Remember Jesus asked what is your name, they answered, "we" are Legion [6,000].   How can 6,000 physical fallen angels be inside a human body?   That would be impossible.   But because they are actually Spirit bodies that can manifest into physical, 6,000 Spirit bodies can fit into a single human body all day long.

How can you reconcile the fact that Jesus was conceived and was borned after the nine months gestation period and he must come be born and live amongst his own people. 

I finish up with the key words "from and amongst HIS OWN PEOPLE ".

Yeshua was and is 100% God. Therefore He can manifest however He chooses.

Is this statement your own? 

Is it a statement independent from scriptures?

Hebrews 1:3

“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;”

Jesus once told His disciples, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father," (John 14:9). And Colossians 1:15 says, speaking of Christ, "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature." Jesus is an exact representation of God the Father; He is "the express image of his person."

The statement "Jesus was and is 100% God", it cannot be found in Hebrews 1:3 as posted in your post.
