Is it proper to say that it was the soul of man particularly that was created in the image of God?
1. The creation of man was in two parts: a) God created his body from the dust and b) God breathed life into him (Gen. 2:7). This made man different from all the animals.
2. Since God is Spirit (1 John 4:24), it could not be the body that was created in His image.
I'm preparing a study on the SDA church, and am considering the consequences of their denial of the two parts of man, since they believe the soul dies with the body.
Thanks!
