Is this not the image of God? Genesis 2 says man was formed from the dirt and God breathed in his spirit and the two became a living soul? Doesnt this make man more than one and if he is not more than one does he not die wiht his flesh?

Thelittle Your arguement is an arguement of flesh...Gal.3 explains by faith we are not sinful flesh. We are neither free or bond..Jew or Gentile male or famale.We are new creatures made int the glory of the resurrection of Jesus Christ...Your arguementofrights for your flesh may help you on theis sinful world but Chrisitans ore created for the kingdom to come as this world will pass away and so will your sinful flesh.

thelittle first your idea that the use of the word man for humans or mankind for humankind is based on what? your local burn your bra 60's womens lib club? and you think I need to move in to the modern world? The word man and mankind are not archaeic to anyone but perhaps you these words are still in use today extremely common and perfect use of the English language...To say that you left Chrisitanity over the Kings English is about the silliest reasons I have ever heard of for leaving God...especially considering the time periods we are copnsidering and even today we have KJV from the King's English which is only language and the language is accurate to the time...God does not speak a specific language and the use of the word man is a simple translation meant to refer to...all people...silly silly silly.

thelittle...??? I am overwhelmed...God created man Adam from the dirt...clearly we are not made of dirt.... Do you think wehn Moses wrote this scripture he was thinking he was dirt and was unaware of the fact the fact that he came from his Mother's womb?...Surely Adam was made from dirt and became flesh and blood else how could Eve have been taken from a rib??...Adam became flesh as youa re flesh..and you are not created from dirt but by natural reproductive methods each of us come from and Moses was aware of....again I say silly.

I believe that HUMANS have a spirit, not just man. Your wording is one of the main reasons I left Christianity. While I love men, I am NOT a man, and I don't like having one half of the gender (and "he") be representative of MY life. Yes, go on about how I'm some sort of feminazi (which I'm not), but you can't argue that this whole idea of "man" meaning "man and woman" adequately covers the role of women on this planet. After all, why was it that only at the end of the last century tmedical science began to realize men and women have different health problems? Because we in the West have spent the last two millenia expecting "mankind" and "he" to be sufficient to cover both halves of the species and their unique needs.
But I digress. Yours is not the only belief system that has creation myths. So for you to imply that if you believe HUMANS have a spirit it must necessarily mean you have to believe in the trinity and Christianity is ludicrous.
By the way, Jamie changed a lot in the Bible to suit his own paranoia. Not mistranslated - changed. So it's interesting that you're judging the rest of us based on your exclusive reading of a text that is well documented as being altered from the original.
Have a blessed Imbolc!

man is a soul (self,person,identity) who has a spirit (mind,heart,intellect) who lives in a body of flesh. at death the soul and spirit (person and mind) return to Father, stepping out of the flesh and people find themselves in their incorruptible body which they never left. They then remember the great expanse of history they had forgotten while in the flesh, remembering all the way back to the time before the original rebellion and all the way to the present including all of human history and heavenly history. No wonder we will no longer see as through a glass darkly.
It is given for man to die once and then the judgment.

You sound like a Jesus in basic terms Pentecostal. I spent a 300 and sixty 5 days and a nil.5 in a UPC Jesus in basic terms church and all my dad's human beings have been of this sect. concern with Jesus in basic terms is it publicizes Jesus is God no longer the Son of God. the bible is obvious that God is the father and had has a Son Jesus the father isn't the Son. The bible teaches 3 distinctive and distinctive personalities. The UPC preacher develop into over my abode lots in 1973 and he continuously left mad slamming my door and breaking the window one time and refused to pay for it. He have been given mad as quickly as I opened the bible to [passages the place God speaks and says this i is my son in whom i'm nicely delighted. hear ye him. and that i might ask the preacher if God develop into Jesus then who develop into talking from heaven. develop into Jesus a ventriloquist? there are a number of passages of scripture the place God speaks and Jesus is contemporary. Jesus himself says he's not the father and obeys the father. to describe the trinity I used to apply the apple as an occasion i might teach an apple and then peel it and teach the peel and the beef then i might take the beef off the middle and teach it. 3 factors of the apple yet all wholely apple so that is with the Godhead 3 personalities one Godhead. In Genesis while existence develop into created God suggested enable us to make guy in our photograph. If no longer the son and Holy Spirit then who? It develop into no longer the angels because of the fact they are additionally created beings.

THE Bible's use of "holy spirit" indicates that it is a controlled force that Jehovah God uses to accomplish a variety of his purposes. To a certain extent, it can be likened to electricity, a force that can be adapted to perform a great variety of operations.
At Genesis 1:2 the Bible states that "God's active force ["spirit" (Hebrew, ru'ach)] was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters." Here, God's spirit was his active force working to shape the earth.
God uses his spirit to enlighten those who serve him. David prayed: "Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your spirit [ru'ach] is good; may it lead me in the land of uprightness." (Psalm 143:10) When 70 capable men were appointed to help Moses, God said to him: "I shall have to take away some of the spirit [ru'ach] that is upon you and place it upon them."—Numbers 11:17.
Bible prophecy was recorded when men of God were "borne along by holy spirit [Greek, from pneu'ma]." (2 Peter 1:20, 21) In this way the Bible was "inspired of God," the Greek word for which is The·o'pneu·stos, meaning "God-breathed." (2 Timothy 3:16) And holy spirit guided certain people to see visions or to have prophetic dreams.—2 Samuel 23:2; Joel 2:28, 29; Luke 1:67; Acts 1:16; 2:32, 33.
The holy spirit impelled Jesus to go into the wilderness after his baptism. (Mark 1:12) The spirit was like a fire within God's servants, causing them to be energized by that force. And it enabled them to speak out boldly and courageously.—Micah 3:8; Acts 7:55-60; 18:25; Romans 12:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:19.

Trinity is not tough in the new testament. The Douay Version of the bible uses the trinity.....whereas the King James Version never used or even mentioned the trinity.

If you are implying that "image" means God, then it's impossible to have a Trinity. As God made "Man" in his image. That means all men are in the image of God... Not just Jesus.
