What is the difference between merely living, and life giving... a living soul and a quickening spirit?

Question

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening (Life-Giving) spirit. 1Co 15:45

"For You have delivered my soul from death: will You not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?" Psalm 56:13

What does it mean that a "living soul" acknowledged past tense deliverance from death, with a present tense expectation of the light giving rays of the Life Giver Himself ?


"In him was life; and the life was the light of men." John 1:4

"For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;" John 5:26

Dearly beloved, what can we learn from these truths about the First Adam race of man, and the Last Adam race of God ?....

"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God."
Rom 8:19

Bonus Q: Besides old and new, what is the difference between the old creation and the new creation ?

So that if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2Co 5:17 (MKJV)

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any strength, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATION. Gal 6:15

Much love to you and to all : )

Answer 1

Dear Asker





Those who spend their lives in Remembrance of Our Creator are considered "Alive" Or "Living". That is why it is commanded in The Quran to do remembrance of The Lord, Our Creator, while walking, sitting, talking, while lying on the bed. In nutshell, every moment to be spent in HIS remembrance. Our Creator must be at the top in the list of our priorities. :)



Have a good day. :)

Answer 2

We who have accepted the Holy Spirit of God through God manifested in the flesh through Jesus Christ have the source of Life living inside of us. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. We can do nothing without Him. The fruit of the Spirit we produce, result from being joined with Him, and allowing Jesus to shine through us. We have become a new creation, with the eternal living God inside of us. Share God with people (the truth in love) and include Him in everything we do. Death and condemnation comes from being separated from the source of the truth, love, goodness, and life (God/Jesus). God declared His creation good in the beginning when it was attached to Him.



2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Answer 3

Hello Seth,



A living soul (person) is alive without following God's lifestyle, so his life leads to death. It is not life-giving. A life-giving person is someone, who does the will of God, and leads to everlasting life. The life, which will last forever in eternity, will lead to everlasting life. No death will exist in heaven.

Answer 4

im really having to decipher this today ;-D, so no doubt i will be nowhere near what you mean



the difference between living and existing, living is using this life for what it is, existing is just, taking what it gives you, which far too many of us do



the difference is we are yet to know what the new is to teach us, we 'should' be aware of what th eold taught us

Answer 5

Peace be to this house(Luke 10:5)



I began with this intro because it is a Commandment given by Jesus.



Adam is man and man is a spirit.



The sons of man aka sons of adam are the flesh bodies prepared by the first adam, the first spirit to ever be joined with a flesh body, aka son of man aka son of adam.



Jesus said, it is the spirit called man that is quickeneth, the flesh aka son of adam aka son of man PROFITS nothing.

What does it mean to be a "Living Soul"?



A spirit has life, awareness but has no substance or form, a spirit is energy in it's purest form, it can not speak, be seen or interact with anything in the spiritual or physical world. A spirit can not see, touch, be touched or be seen by other spirits. A spirit only knows other spirits and God by a declaring of their thoughts. A spirit only knows one another by thought.



A spirit becomes a Living Soul when it puts on some type of physical body. A spirit when it has enters into and Joined with living flesh becomes ALIVE. It now has the ability to be seen, touch, be touched and speak. A spirit that has been joined together with flesh can now experience heat, cold, a physical life, pain but it STILL can not experience Death.



The sons of adam aka sons of man are living flesh bodies, but the flesh body with out a spirit does not have the ability to move, think, or feel. A flesh body without a spirit is nothing more than a plant, a tree, a vegetable.

------------------------

New verses Old.



There was one draw back when a spirit put on a flesh body. A spirit has never seen another spirit or even seen the Spirit of God their Father, they only can declare the existence one another by their individual thought patterns, they know one another not by sight but by thought.



The Old Way

When a spirit puts on a flesh body it gains the abilities to see not the spirit but the flesh body that, that spirit has put on. The thoughts of the spirits housed in flesh can no longer be heard by spirits housed in flesh, therefore God the Father sent a Spirit AKA Holy Spirit to select one spirit housed in flesh, and the Holy Spirit would bring the thoughts of God the Father to this one spirit housed in flesh to speak His thoughts to all other spirits housed in flesh.



The New Way

God the Father gave the Holy Spirit not to just one or a few, God the Father gave the Holy Spirit to all spirits housed in flesh.



Since the Holy Ghost was first to given to all, many of evil spirits housed in flesh who knew substituted, the truth with lies and intentionally withheld the only thing required by God the Father for the out pouring of the Holy Spirit to those spirits housed in flesh and that was to KEEP His 77 COMMANDMENTS and allow the Holy Spirit to be their only Teacher.



Those evil spirit housed in flesh knew that if they kept all other spirits housed in flesh from KEEPING the TRUE COMMANDMENTS of God could do so by deceiving them into believing that the COMMANDMENTS of God were the 10 Commandments spoken by Moses, and that they were to continue teaching men.



God the Father said you would all be taught of God by God Himself, you were to STOP being taught of God by men and ALLOW your only TEACHER to be the Holy Ghost and when you began to obey the Words of the Holy Spirit, than the Spirit of Truth would explain all things to you and just to you, each of us individually.



But because many evil spirits housed in flesh, knew of this, they deceived many spirits by substituting the true words of God with the words of men, and withholding the knowledge that the Holy Ghost was to be our only teacher of the words.



There were some good spirits that knew the truth, but wanted to fellowship with others and when they would meet the evil spirits would convince them that what they thought was true was wrong and they being ordained by men would teach them the truth, they LIED.





The Physical Church (men) were never to teach anyone of God. The age of the Churches was fulfilled when the Holy Ghost was given, all the Apostles were to do was to tell those spirits housed in flesh what they had to do to receive the Holy Spirit and that was to love one another.



The fruit of their works would demonstrate that they were worthy of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, not their words.
