I personally believe that the problem lies in understanding our state prior to being born of God. God breathed into the nostrils of Adam and he became a living soul. This scripture doesn’t say that everyone that’s born into this world receives the breath of life.
Some of the scriptures posted by others her about being formed of God in their mother’s womb, don’t apply to us either. No one posting here came out of their mothers womb receiving the breath of God. Jesus Christ was the first man to receive the breath of God since the fall of Adam, scripture is very clear on this.
Psalm 33:3-6 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. [4] For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. [5] He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. [6] By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
It’s upon receiving the breath of His mouth we receive life.. only in Him is there life.
The Holy Spirit is the breath of life.
In this regard, we need to look at a living soul vs a dead soul. Every soul is
still made by God (Isaiah 57), and every soul that sins shall die (Ezek 18). God does not make dead souls, but living. Every soul born of a woman is living made by God as with Adam, but
now having the nature of sin by Adam's transgression, every soul is predestined to sin unto death.
There were two living souls made by God, who were not so predestined to sin: Adam and Jesus, which is how He is the Second Adam.
The breath of Life is still from the Creator to make living souls in the world, but the Spirit of Life born within us makes us a new creature in Christ Jesus.
There is a difference. Adam was made of flesh and became a living soul, but did not become born of the Spirit of God due to transgression.
Jesus was made of flesh and became a living soul born of the spirit of God in the womb.
We are made of flesh and become living souls, that may be born of the Spirit of God outside the womb by the faith of Jesus.
My point being: we are all made living souls by God, with souls destined to die by the sin nature therein, but we are not all born of the Spirit of God by the faith of Jesus to a
new and living soul with the divine nature (2 Peter 1).
We eat of the tree of life in the paradise of God even as Adam (Rev 2),
but with the knowledge of the Lord Jesus and His faith to avoid Adam's transgression.
We are all made living souls by the breath of God, until we are certain to sin and die, then we
may become new and living souls by the Spirit of Life to walk in the new and living way of Jesus (Heb 10).
One life on earth, 2 souls: First living and then dead, and now alive and quickened again. Rebirth of a soul in one lifetime on earth, not rebirth of man in another lifetime.
Base12 has the right idea, just the wrong framework. Rebirth of a soul in one lifetime on earth, not rebirth of a soul in two different lifetimes.
