No error.
* BODY formed, from dust outside of the Garden, called man.
Gen 2
[7] 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.
* After the BODY was Formed...Then God gave a man a Living soul, by God blowing His breath of Life (into is giving) into the man's nostrils.
A formed body, without ever having a Living soul given it, is neither Alive or DEAD.
Gen 2
[7] 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.
*Did the Body STOP Being a man? No.
The Body is a man.
The Body WITH a Living soul IS an ALIVE man.
The body That had a living soul IN and now does not have a Living soul IN is a Dead Man.
The man is now one identity, man, formed body , soul and alive.
Gen 7
[7] 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.
There are three "Ands" in verse 7...each a thing unto its own.
* v-8 notifies, man came out of the dust, outside of the Garden.
[8] And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Apparently before you.
Read the Script.. the Body is a Form. Is a form, a shape, which IS Visible to mankind...a man can see a Living or dead body.
You can not see a soul, life from God.
You can See a body's Life, it's BLOOD.
Caution on your...QUICK to Judge!
Gen 7? That's Precise ... not!
Note again ...blowing...into
Now note: a dead boy, soul returns to his body...
1 kings 17:
[21] And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
[22] And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. Living man holding a dead body asking God to revive the dead body, BY putting the dead body's SOUL BACK IN the Body.
How can a body AND soul be destroyed if they are the same thing?
Matt 10:
[28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Glory to God,

All I gave to you to look and compare was the breath of life in Adam (Genesis 2), in comparison to the breath of life in animals (Genesis 7) and look what you had to do to explain it from the "religious" perspective! Its a quagmire of concepts glued together, saying nothing to help anyone to understand.
All you concluded was that both man and animals have the Eternal Spirit of God within them.
Now I ask you what's wrong with that picture?
Therefore, in turn, lets examine the truth about everyone's animal like existenceof a living soul-
nephesh in the Hebrew-
animal life.
My explanation is: "the breath of life" IS OXYGEN, and thats all it is!! Its not Moses fault that he didn't know what the gaseous elements were!!
But, for the sake of you attempting to avoid it, here are some details, that oppose your "religious" formula:
As for 1 Kings 17:21-22, what is
resuscitation?
Most definitely the child wasn't resurrected from being dead. He was only resuscitated, being brought back to life, by his breathing and a beating heart again, thereby regaining consciousness through his fleshly brain, being fed by oxygenated blood.
And for those who are comatose, their state of consciouness (soul) is temporarily shut down, while their body remains alive. So you might say they are "brain dead", but there body is still alive. That would be a body, without an operative "soul" (brain).
So now, even more so, what shall we say about "still born births"?
If the heart isn't pumping blood, after birth, the child is technically and clinically dead, because all of the cells in it's organs and brain never recieved
oxygenated blood, to feed its fleshly organs in order to be alive, nor its breathing ability to become conscious as a living soul.
But, if you continue assuming as you do, that God GAVE man a living soul, then you are going to have to say that He did the SAME for all animal life, that breathes AIR!
And if so, then God being Eternally a Spirit, according to your belief system, animals also were given by God, a living soul that is eternal.
Since you do conclude that is so for man, there is no way out of it, by you saying that animals don't, because it says in Genesis 7[
22]
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
> And it also says the same for man in
Genesis 2[
7] 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.
So, which is the truth of our physical reality?
All, being both animals and man, were given an eternal living soul, or is it rather everything that I've said, of all recieving nothing of a soul, except to simply breathe Oxygen?
