TextI think you might have that reversed. Adam's soul and spirit (breath of lives) were created/filled in God's image/shadow. Adam's body was formed from the earth. There are two different Hebrew words distinguishing each instant. I dont remember them at the moment. One is bara, the other is either banah or yatser. I do believe in Trinity, but that is a different conversation. Also, both OT and NT always state that life begins out from the womb, never in the womb. Life at conception is not a Hebrew doctrine, and it really didn't make its way into Protestant theology until the 1960s-70s.

A fetus has neuro circuitry in the womb which usually responds to the mother's emotions, but biological life does not mean a soul and spirit are present. John was filled with the spirit upon LEAVING the womb. We misunderstand that due to mistranslations fueled by political motives.

We will never be on the same page. There is nothing in the Hebrew scriptures that postulate that Adam was given multiple spirits (breath of lives). He had one spirit and procreated only the image. Each procreated image is given its own breath or spirit and that spirit is that which is held accountable in death. Adam is not accountable for your sins which your spirit has committed.
Yes there were some sects of Hebrews that rejected spontaneous conception of sperm and egg and approved of both pre and post abortions such as the Sadducee's and those Sadducee's were in power of Temple and nation in the era of Jesus. But Jesus' doctrine forbid the art of murder and James forbid abortion of a child. In fact James forbid the needless slaughter of animals also.
Please read this article which verifies what I have said concerning the spark of life.

Luke 1:15 "For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from (ek) his mother's womb (koilias).
Psalm 22:9 Yet You are He who brought me forth out from the womb (mibbaten);
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
10Upon You I was cast from birth;
You have been my God out from my mother’s womb (mibbeten)

God breathed into Adam the breath of lives nishmat hhayyim. The suffix "im" indicates the plurality of "hhai" which can be both masculine or feminine. This is further corroborated as the Bible does distinguish between soul (nephesh) and spirit (ruahh).
Adam was filled/created (bara) in the image of God, not formed (yatser). So there is no way that Adam's body is related to the image of God, but his soul was formatted after God's image.
Why would Adam be held accountable for my sins??? I never suggested that.
Life does not begin in the womb. The bible does not support life at conception.
Luke 1:15 "For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from (ek) his mother's womb (koilias).
John the Baptist did not receive the Holy Spirit until he left his mothers womb. The OT uses mibeten to communicate the same idea, 'from the womb'.
1 Thess 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

That is not what 1 Thess 5:23 says at all. You made that up completely.

If you have a problem with Paul, then you're barking up the wrong tree, and its not my problem that you don't like what the Greek says about John being filled with the Spirit after leaving the womb. Learn some prepositions.

If you really think that Paul taught a false gospel, then who yould you find it "hilarious" that anyone follows him? Doesn't seem like a laughing matter to me.

So do you see it is funny because you can not see it now matter what, how, your blind to the deception and yeah, it is funny because you know it and choose not to believe it.
First of all, everything you just said was heavily distorted.
Secondly, if you truley believe I was decieved, I don't see how you could possibly think it would be funny. I think you are sick.

That cannot be. Jesus' body was filled with a soul at birth, not conception. It was at birth (away from the womb) that God became Jesus' God. We wont be on the same page until we look for the answers in the Hebrew and Greek text. Also, flashes of light which occur when sperm meats egg does not prove soul-life in the womb. It simply indicates a biochemical reaction.

First of all, everything you just said was heavily distorted.[quote]
It was actually well researched, studied and is true. It was not distorted. Although if one has an emotional investment in Paul and is confronted with the evidence against him, rather than rebut the evidence with logic and facts a word like "distorted" is used.
It is a cheap trick. Pauline Christianity produces the absolute worst of people, is the reason that Christians are one of the most despised of religious people and lead the way in supporting the terrorist state of Israel because the Jewish media has demonized Islam. Christianity as a whole produces the view that all religions except theirs are of Satan and #1 on the list is Islam.
The smiling face of Joel Osteen is the best example, although extreme, of the crap Christianity can produce. But on a lesser level most Christians are only in name Christians.
When the teachings of Jesus are considered second to anyone's, which is the case with Paul today, and faith considered a greater virtue than morality, behavior, wisdom and good deeds, we are in trouble.
If that is the irrational mentality we assign to God and people are hating other people because of God, going to war over God, they don't know God.
Secondly, if you truley believe I was decieved, I don't see how you could possibly think it would be funny. I think you are sick.
I do think you are deceived. We all are and have been our whole lives.
I don't believe that you will be punished for being another victim of the corruption of deviants. I equally think it is sad that you can claim such belief in Paul and either have not realized how obvious it is that he is a huckster and megalomaniac and not this wise, caring hero who spread the Gospel.
He didn't have a Gospel to spread. He is like Simon Magus, teaching one thing here one thing there, as he admits himself.
