may reverent'y examine scriptue upon
this subject, but would Md that il is our
duty so to do. Allow m", her, offer a
few CRITICISMS upon tie interpretation Of
the word.
In your response, you first md very prop

count OF the formation OF man-"And the

ment simply life; and Ihercaso on assigned
is, that the same expression il not used
when God gave life to the animals He
created. You are under the impression
! that this 'breaih' was part Of the Deity,
spirit, or soul which, on entering the
body became an independent, distinct tree

the body was only designed as an earthly

text quoted, is rendered life by the inspi.

II Gen. ID Chap. and 9Th verse prove
an immortal soul in man, we can certain
ly prove from scripture an immortal soul
in beasts. In opposition. moreover, to
your views concerning the body of mar.

made, will you please refer TO the state
ment given us, and you will find that it
was Man, and not merely The bully of man,
that was formed of the dust Of the or, und

But what is the plain meaning Of such an
Interpretation OF the passage! Ii is nnne
