      Relevant Notes

      Unless otherwise stated , all scriptures are quoted from the following:

      The True Bible Study Word Translation (TBS);

      The TBS Word Translation is translated from the Greek Papyri and Texts or from the Greek old covenant writing (Septuagint) by Maura K. Hill.

      The various resources and reference materials are listed at https://www.truebiblestudy.com/bible-materials.

      In the TBS Word Translation and Study:

      Words in a parenthesis () and italicized within a scripture verse are words inserted to help our English understanding of those words which are translated from Greek words.

      Words in a parenthesis () in the study of the scripture verse are words of explanation regarding the words prior to the parenthesis.

      Additional explanatory insertions within a scripture verse are enclosed in square brackets [] and italicized.

      Additional explanatory notes in the study of a scripture verse are enclosed in square brackets [] and are usually in relation to the Greek or Hebrew texts.

      A slash in the study of a scripture verse, such as: him/her, indicates an alternative word depending on the context.

      A dash, such as: go there – to Jerusalem, indicates that a certain word or phrase is particularly important or deserving of extra emphasis.

      Hyphenated words, such as: used-to-go, indicates that there is only one corresponding word in the Greek text.

      Non-English words are printed with English letters.

      I use an initial capital letter for all occurrences of the words Lord and Master when referring to either God or the Lord Jesus Christ due to my respect for them, therefore the reader will need to carefully consider the context of each particular usage to understand to whom that usage refers.

      Where the word spirit refers to God, I use an initial capital or upper-case S - Spirit. But when the word spirit refers to the gift of holy spirit, etc, I use a small or lower-case s - spirit.

      Underlined text is used for the English word but when translated from the Greek word alla to show that it implies a strong contrast to that-which has just previously been stated, and/or to strengthen a command.

      Underlined text is used for the singular form of the word you to distinguish it from the plural form of the word you which is not underlined.

      Underlined text is also used for emphasis.

      In order to communicate the fullness of the emphasis when the Greek definite article is repeated both with the noun and its adjective - for example: I Corinthians 15:4 the Greek is te hemera te trite, which literally means the day the third – I translate it as "the day, the third (day)."

      Verbs in the imperfect tense are translated with the words used-to and then the meaning of the verb.

      For example: used-to teach indicates that the one teaching spent time teaching, his action of teaching continued during a past time that is now finished for some reason, not that it was a quick one-time occurrence. The one teaching taught others taking time to teach, and he may have repeated his teaching at different times and in different ways. This tense is also used to historically describe past events relating what happened.

      Verbs in the perfect tense are translated from Greek with a superscript number 2 immediately following the verb - for example: it was written².

      This tense indicates an action done during a past time and which has a present continuing result, meaning it is still the same at the time the verb was spoken or written. Therefore, this example could be translated as: it was written and continues written.

      The noun love¹ or the verb to love¹ comes from the Greek word agape which is God’s kind of love.

      When the Biblical writers wrote, there were no punctuation marks, no chapter or verse divisions indicated, etc, as we see them today in many of our English Bible translations and versions. Therefore we must read the whole context of each particular passage of Scripture for thought-content to more clearly understand the truth of what has been written.

      Also, the original language was not English, and therefore when I may write that the writer said or wrote such and such, please understand that the writer actually spoke and wrote in the original language the equivalent to that-which I state in the English language to the best of my knowledge.

      I recommend that while reading this book, you also have your usual Bible and Biblical study materials open, so as to compare verses and gain greater understanding of the truth of God’s Word.

      Section 1

      ________________________

      Life

      God gave life to mankind

      On the sixth day of creation, God gave life to mankind. This event is recorded in two parts because God gave mankind two kinds of life: spirit and soul.

      Genesis 1:26 and 27:

      .26and God said, Let Us make man according to Our image and according to likeness and they must rule the fishes of the sea and the birds of the heaven and the animals and all the earth and all the creeping-things creeping on the earth –

      .27and God made the man, according to God’s image He made him (male and female He made them).

      God expressed His intention to make man (a member of mankind, a human-being) in accordance with His image. God’s image refers to spirit because God is Spirit (refer to John 4:24). His essence and constitution is spirit. His realm of power, authority, and action is spirit.

      In addition, God’s intention was to make man according to His likeness, which refers to being similar in quality of action or behavior to/with Him, doing God’s will, His intention.

      How did God make man according to His image and according to likeness?

      God made the man according to His image by placing spirit inside of the body of the man – the spirit was the image of God Who is Spirit, which also enabled the man to behave according to God’s likeness.

      The male and the female received spirit life.

      The details of the physical creation of mankind are provided in Genesis chapter 2.

      Genesis 2:7 and 8:

      .7and God molded the man, dust from the earth, and He breathed-in into his face a blowing of life and the man became into a soul living;

      .8and the Lord God planted a paradise in Eden according to (the) risings and He put there the man whom He molded.

      On the sixth day God molded or formed the human-being from the dust, as clay, and He breathed out from Himself onto the human-being, infusing him with a blowing of life (a breathing that is life, and thereby making him alive).

      Primarily this refers to spirit life because God is Spirit and He would not have needed to breath-in into the man’s face a blowing of life if God only intended that the man have exactly the same kind of life as the other creatures created on the fifth day, which was soul or breath life, so as to perform the action of breathing air in and out to keep their physical bodies alive.

      The truth is that God gave the man both spirit life and soul life so as to live in totality with and for God.

      God Himself decided to create His image in mankind – He put holy spirit-life in the man and also in the woman when she was made (refer to Genesis 2:21-23).

      This holy spirit-life was that-which distinguished both the male and the female from all the other creatures (living souls), and it enabled them to behave like God by having the dominion that God gave to them relative to the animals, etc, on earth (refer to Genesis 1:26-31).

      Adam was a three-part being:

      holy spirit-life (the same in make-up or consistency as God Who is Spirit and Holy – Holy Spirit; it is not flesh nor blood),

      soul-life (the life of the flesh; it is in the blood and is evidenced by breathing; it is what allowed Adam to move and work, etc, living in the physical category),

      and a body (the flesh, which was molded from the dust from the earth).

      God is Holy Spirit and He gave Adam holy spirit. God and Adam had a holy-spirit connection whereby they could communicate with each other spiritually. They had a very close relationship.

      Refer also to: Leviticus 17:11, 19:2; John 4:24; and the articles: The name of God; Spirit, Soul, and Body (https://www.truebiblestudy.com/bible-materials).

      Back to top

      Soul life

      The Greek word psuche means soul which refers to the life of a physical body which is evidenced by breathing; it is what allows creatures to move, swim, etc, living in the physical category.

      The soul is in the blood of living creatures whereby the blood is oxygenated as breathing in order to maintain their physical lives (refer to Leviticus 17:11). If the blood is removed from the body, that creature dies.

      Fish, birds, and animals received soul-life as recorded in Genesis 1:20-24.

      Mankind (human-beings) received soul-life as recorded in Genesis 2:7.
