They are the only two places in Sacred Scripture where God breathes on man. You were preposing that there were other places, and you called me ignorant of the New Testament.

But so far, you have not shown any other instances. The burden of proof is on you.

As you seem to want to split hairs we can do that.

Genesis 2:7 says God breathed into his into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

John 20:22 says the following: 22And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

Two different events done two different ways.

Now if you're going to equate the two then you have to allow Revelation 11:11

11But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.

"By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they come to an end. Job 4:9

Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 2 Thessalonians 2:8

'I will pour out My indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and I will give you into the hand of brutal men, skilled in destruction. Ezekiel 21:31

But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4

Further, you will have to allow 2 Timothy 3:16 for another example of God breathing.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

There are more verses dealing with the breath of God in relation to His creation and mankind.

Now, we can keep playing but you will continue to lose.

Your attempt to equate the passages in Genesis and John fails as they are two different situations.

You've still not addressed the context of the passage in John in relation to the New Testament. I'm leaving that one up to you to figure out.

I stand corrected....you don't know either the OT or the NT.
