ORIGIN OF THE SOUL

JOB 33:4 THE SPIRIT OF GOD HATH

MADE ME, AND THE BREATH OF THE

ALMIGHTY HATH GIVEN ME LIFE.

• Each person is a creature of God, made by God

• Each person’s body is given life by the breath of the Almighty

• THEORY: Each conception of a human life can be considered as the same action of God in taking clay, then forming him into his image, and breathing into his nostrils the breath of life and he becomes a living soul.

WHEN DOES LIFE BEGIN?

• Human Life does no begin in birth, it begins in

conception.

• The conceived child inside the womb is a human being

able to breathe oxygen delivered through the mother’s

womb.

• The unborn baby exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide

with the mother through the placenta and umbilical cord.

THE BREATH OF LIFE BEGINS

IN THE WOMB

• . The mother’s blood circulates through the placenta and

also carries nutrients to the baby. The placenta is

attached to the uterine wall and to the umbilical cord,

which is attached to the baby. The mother, in effect,

breathes for the baby. The mother inhales and breathes

in oxygenated air, which passes through her circulatory

system to the baby through the placenta and umbilical

cord. Carbon dioxide returns from the baby through the

umbilical cord and placenta to the mother, who exhales

and removes the waste from her body.

AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL

• Job 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

• Each person is individually fashioned (designed) by God in the womb

• Psalms 22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

• The natural processes of procreation is a means by which God casts (forms) individuals inside the womb.

THEORIES OF SOUL ORIGINS -SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY OF CHARLES HODGE

• Preexistence, as taught by Origen, and as adopted here

and there by some few philosophers and theologians, is

not the Platonic doctrine of an ideal-world.

• It supposes that the souls of men had a separate,

conscious, personal existence in a previous state; that

having sinned in that preexistent state, they are

condemned to be born into this world in a state of sin

and in connection with a material body.


• Traducianism.

• affirm that the soul is produced by the law of generation,

being as truly derived from the parents as the body. The

whole man, soul and body, is begotten. The whole man

is derived from the substance of his progenitors. We

were in Adam, being our first parents, so when Adam

sinned, we sinned with him.


• CREATIONISM –

• In the original account of the creation there is a marked distinction made between the body and the soul. The one is from the earth, the other from God. The body and soul are not only represented as different substances, but also as having different origins. The body shall return to dust, and the spirit to God who gave it.

• In like manner God is said to form "the spirit of man within him" (Zech. xii. 1); to give "breath unto the people upon" the earth, "and spirit to them that walk therein." (Is. xlii. 5.)

• Heb. xii. 9, our human father is the father of our body and God is Father of our spirit. Our bodies are derived from our earthly parents, our souls are derived from God.

ORIGIN OF THE SOUL OF CHRIST

• Christ came from the womb of Mary, but did not come

from the seed of Joseph. Nevertheless, after conception

of the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ’s body is a product of all

the human processes.

• The God Man Jesus Christ conceived by the Holy Spirit

and placed in the womb of Mary is the Word made flesh,

the pre-existent Son of God from eternity placed in a

human body.

FROM WHERE DID THE SOUL OF EVE

COME FROM?

• She was not formed like Adam,

• she was taken from Adam.

• Did God breathe into her nostrils, after forming her body

from Adam?

• Why was it not specifically mentioned, how she was

created in detail?

REVELATIONS AND SECRETS

• Ecclesiastes 11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way

of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of

her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works

of God who maketh all.

• Aside from these revelations, we don’t know the other

details.
