What did God create before Adam without a soul?

Hello.

There are a lot of misconceptions concerning the Word " soul". And according to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 The Bible is a letter from God and beneficial for teaching and setting things straight. So let me walk you through the understanding of the Word " soul " according to what the Bible actually teaches.

When God created Adam, according to Genesis 2: 7 which reads: " And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living person or a living soul. ( Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a living person or a living soul )

If I read in the news that there are 2'000 souls in this city, my understanding would be that there are 2'000 people. Would it not be? We sometimes use the expression such as " poor soul " when we feel empathy for a visible person, who has experimented any kind of hardship. So it is quite easy to come to the conclusion that a soul is a living person.

So to answer your question of "what did God create without a soul " is a question that has no reason to be asked, if you have the accurate understanding of the Word "soul " which is the synonym of the Word "person" Genesis 2: 7 shows that God created a person.

Kind regards

According to 1 Corinthians 15: 45 we can read the following. " The first man Adam became a living soul or a living person .

The Word "soul " is translated from the Hebrew ne'phesh and the Greek psy.khe'. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, " soul " means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings.
