He became a 'living soul', when did Adam receive the bodily 'spirit'? (mind you, not the Holy Ghost)
??
In Genesis scripturally, the man became a 'living soul', you've added 'spirit' in your vain argument, and that's already a 'red flag'.
There is not life without spirit! It is the spirit within man that gives them physical life, and when the Spirit of God enters into man, they have spiritual life. Without spiritual life, from the fall man remains natural, of the earth, destined to die. That is why man must be born again of the Spirit, in the same way man was first created, through the Holy Spirit of God in us.
John 6:63 (KJV) It is
the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and
they are life.
2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but
the spirit giveth life.
Adam was made a living soul through the breath of God breathed into the dust of the ground God formed.
Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God
formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and
man became a living soul.

נְשָׁמָה nᵉshâmâh, nesh-aw-maw' from
H5395; a puff, i.e. wind, angry or vital breath,
divine inspiration, intellect. or (concretely) an animal:—blast, (that) breath(-eth), inspiration,
soul, spirit.
Breath of life is defined from the Greek
nesh-aw-maw which is of the Holy Spirit (
רוּחַ rûwach, roo'-akh). It is breath of the Spirit of God that gave both spiritual and natural life to Adam. The Spirit of the LORD breathed into Adam was INSIDE of Adam, until Adam disobeyed God. Because the Spirit of the LORD was IN him, Adam could have physically lived forever. We know this is true because God said, "
in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
Yes, A&E did die in the day (age/space of time) they ate of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. They lost the ability that is from the Spirit within us, to live forever, alive through natural spirit.
When Adam sinned, his eyes were opened and he knew both good and evil. Knowing guilt Adam became aware of their nakedness and tried to hide from God. Why? Because the Spirit of God had departed from them, and man became natural man, guilty of sinning without the Spirit of God that could have given them immortality. Man chose death rather than to submit to God. For that reason, all of humanity is destined to die.
