(1) What gave the dust (body) life? (2) is there life in the dust? or can dust move
or operate of its own volition?
It was God's breath that gave the body life, and then the body became a living
soul. Thus...the soul is the life of the body. So when a man dies, the body reverts
back to the dust, and the life (soul) goes back to God. BUT MAN (the spirit)
goes to await the judgment!
The soul is immortal in that it reverts back to God: it is a figure of the Holy
Spirit. If a Christian falls from grace, the Holy Spirit goes back from where
it was sent.

nice. i don't agree, as it seems to me that God breathed "spirit" into Adam; and my evidence would be that Adam was not destined for judgement, having no knowledge of good v evil--he could not sin, iow...but i dunno.
i have some reflections on "dust of the earth..."
