Now, as medically advanced people, we know that the mentrual blood doesn't contain an itty-bitty embryo aka a corpse. Primitive people didn't know that. All they knew was if intercourse was successful, the periodic flow would cease, and a baby-human-body developed. At some point an assumption...
Sure it's at the bottom on the page you linked to. They're referencing the Brown-Driver-Briggs. Strong's says Proverbs 20:27 is "spirit of man" not "breath of man"
Here's the JW translation:
I still don't get how breath is a lamp, nor how breath searches. It just doesn't fit.
Actually...
I'm not seeing that. Can you point out where JWs translation disagrees with Strong's?
For sure. As Hebrew words have more than one meaning.
Can you provide at least three of those verses?
You mean Proverbs 13:9.
Proverbs 13:7 does not mention light, or lamp.
Have you given consideration to the...
There are multiple Jewish views on this. Some believe A&E were vegetarians whereas others believe they ate meat. It's late but I'll locate sources later, b"h.
Gen 1:29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing...
The Image of God was specifically given to the creature man.
Gen 1:27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The soul is distinct from the body.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill...
I think the Bible answers things quite simply and that too many people overthink everything and make it complicated.
The dual nature of man makes him unique. But why is he alone created in the image of his Maker? Why was he alone given access to a means to keep him alive forever in his mortal...
I am saying that without life there is no movement. The so-called laws of the universe were initiated by -- ?? themselves?? No, I don't think so. But that's me. I am not saying that the sun is alive, or that magnetism is alive. But -- like electricity, it can be used to invigorate certain...
I like questions...so thanks for asking.
I asked this question too a long time ago.....the answer, given by science actually, reveals a "fight or flight" response in most sentient creatures. Its a survival mechanism, programmed instinctively rather than decided upon by the creature in question...
Not a real difficult read. Let me quote some of it for you to ponder over, because (the last creation) humans are said to have been created in God's image. The animals were not. Thus there is a big difference of man and animal.
From Genesis 1:
"Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after...
By that definition, plants and fungi would be "animals" too.
You also missed the point. How modern academics choose to sort and classify things has no bearing on what God meant when he talked about, and what the Hebrew words mean, in Genesis1:30.
You don't even know if that's the case. They...
Look at the context. He's talking about what He has given to eat every green plant for food.
So, does this lifeform eat green plants?
No. It's a parasite inside Salmon.
No contradiction with what the Bible says.
And we don't even need to get into whether or not this qualifies as a "creature"...
Genesis1:30
New International Version
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
Of course you missed the verses about sea creatures.
Does this thing have any natural predators for whom it would be food?
Was there a need for God to speak of any of the microscopic creatures, to people who had no ned for a
How many translations did you have to check before you found the...
The Bible also states that God breaths through nostrils.....
I think God would have a bit of a difficult time with this creature to make it come alive....
Genesis1:30 New International Version (NIV)
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

I'm not a JW, but in Genesis 2:7 it doesn't say that we don't have a soul, it says that man became a living soul. All living breathing creatures have and are a soul. Genesis1:30 / Matthew 10:39

Man . . . 30 verses into it is all you would have to read . . . Genesis1:30 "And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving upon the earth in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it came to be so."
There you go using myths that are designed for teaching the beliefs through metaphors to those following that religion and trying to use them for what they were not intended as in the case of how life evolved on our planet. You can quote all day long from the bible but until you get out and...
