The Trichotomy Of Man: Spirit Soul And Body

The word of God is the spirit of God. The Word quickens, enlivens, enlightens, illuminates and rejuvenates. The Breath of God is the Spirit of God and is the Word of God. The story of the Bible is not the story of the creation of mankind, it is the story of the creation of Man in the image and likeness of God: the elevation of the soul of man to the realm of God.

John 6:63
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.


Therefore the creation story of Adam is not the story of the creation of mankind, rather it is the story of the creation of man from mankind. It was the fitting of the souls of man with the spirit of God, the Word of God is the spirit of God.
The creation of Adam was the introduction of the Word/Law of God to Man which made man, hitherto a dead soul, to become a living breathing active soul. This is what is presented symbolically as God ‘breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
