The "Breath of Life" - What is isEvidently the idiomatic name itself " breath of life" is likening what God did to the air we breathe. What happens to a person when you stop them from breathing? If a person can't breath after few minutes they die. Would it be reasonable to conclude then that the "breath" is something inside them that keeps that keeps them alive after they die? or rather something that enables them to live? The " breath of life" in the bible is more often referred to as " the spirit" (ruach - Strongs #7307 "breath" "air" "blast") and it refers to that which animates or makes the person (or animal) live. It is not part of the person that enables him or her to continue living after they are "dead" (afterlife). Yours or Gods?While your breath, its "yours" in the sense of you are using air to stay alive (ie its "yours" as long as you are using it) ultimately, the air we breathe is actually part of the atmosphere? Notice in Genesis 2:7 the bible doesn't actually speak of God "giving" or "placing" a breathe inside Adam, but rather actively "breathing" or blowing into his "nostrils" that breath. If you breathe into someones mouth or nose, whose breath is the person feeling, their own or yours? Ultimately, "The breath of life" (or spirit) "belongs" to God in that he is its ultimate source. Just as when you unplug an electronic device from its power source it stops working, when God withdraws that "breath of life" or his active force/power (spirit) that keeps that person alive, the person dies and ceases to exist. They are not "transformed" to continue living elsewhere any more than if you unplug your fan, it is transformed into a computer and continues working in another room. Further scriptural evidence:CONCLUSION: People often use the words " soul" and " spirit" interchangeably, but in the bible these are two distinctly different words. (As has been previously noted, at no time does Genesis speak of God placing or introducing a soul IN (inside) the body). Neither soul nor spirit depict a part of the person that enables them to continue living in another form after they die. [/quote]
