> The "soul" in the Bible is the whole person, as Genesis shows us:
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart.” (Heb 4:12)
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole
spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ.” (1Th 5:23)
So as anyone can see the individual is made up of three parts, and the soul
and spirit are not part of the body as the body only houses them and is under
its control. The heart of man is the body/soul, so closely related that only
the God can divide and separate them. And a visible representation of that is
the bone and marrow, so integrated is it and woven into the integrity of the
bone that no knife or laser of man can cleanly separate them without cutting
into one or the other.
Now as to the creation of man, he was fully formed out of the dirt,
completed, meaning the body of man, or his tent/housing. And then what
happened? Did God do something special?
Try reading the scripture you provided. Ask yourself, Self? Did God take a
grain of sand and then blow it up like a balloon into a man? Well of course
not, so can you figure out what he did with the image of God that he created?

And if the RCC is not bad enough you go to another source of man for your
wisdom and knowledge.
So I ask you where is God the Heavenly Father in your life, the source of all
truth?
Yeah, I know, you hang on to the words pumped out to you in their daily
briefing from the JW Org, and follow their rote like a good democrat does
theirs.
Have you ever thought about following Jesus and His way?

I am glad to here you acknowledge that as I pointed out some scriptures for
you.
