Man – Body and Soul

Using symbolic language, the Bible says that God willed man to be both corporeal and spiritual. “Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being” (Gen 2:7).

In Scripture “soul” can mean human life or the entire human person. “Soul” especially means man’s spiritual principle.
