And even then, man was not really created until God breathed the soul through man's nostrils. So, there was a deifnite time, not before all ages, when man was not and his soul was not. The same goes for all of us.
2. That God did not think it out before He said let there be Light. Indeed, Isaiah 46:9-10 says He declares the end from the beginning. How is that not thinking it out?
3. That Gods breathing (neshama) into Adams nostrils in Genesis 2 took place on Day 6 of creation week. There is a timing anamoly between Genesis 1 and 2, e.g. Genesis 2 declares that God created the plants before they were in the earth. Also, the plants are created on Day 3 but there is no sun or moon until Day 4. Likewise, it is a presumption to say that the men created on Day 6 were entirely Adam and Eve and their descendants (Genesis 2).
4. That Genesis 2 and 3 are speaking of events in the physical realm. Truly, the leaning I have in the spirit is that Genesis 1-3 speaks to the creation of both the physical and the spiritual and that Adam was created in the spiritual realm (which is not spatially separated from the physical realm) and was banished to mortality at the end of Genesis 3, the countdown for Adamic man beginning in Genesis 4.
4. That God unfolded Creation serially to the conscious within the timeline specified in Creation week. That is to say, like we would do things in space/time not knowing the next step until the current step is finished cause/effect in a directional arrow of time. There is no reason to presume that God does not possess all of His own breath (neshama) in timelessness and dispenses it into Adamic men "in" space/time according to His will, e.g. at conception or through inheritance from Adam.
And absolutely NONE to some club(church) that men join and elect officers in.. I agree.. All the bright clothing, consecrated vessels, ceremonial hu haw, mood music, passion plays, and dogma and litergy.. are merely playing church like a child..
In one sense we must remain as a child in demeanor but in another sense we must grow in spirit/Spirit into a full grown man..
Therefore, ALL glory to God and NONE to mans playhouses..
