Adam: God of bones and flesh

Adam, the first man. Who is he & what he is made of? What is common to him is common to all humans on earth.

Created in the perfect image of God. From dust to life, he rose & walked with God. He lived in a timeless garden, with no equal beauty, God made Eve to be his wife. Adam felt and knew about God. His existence is a result of God's workmanship, these bones & flesh are formed by His hands. His breath source was from the nostril of God, poured out to Adam became a living soul meant to share its life.

Genesis 2:7 confirms three forms in which Adam was created by God.

1. Dust - dust is from earth, something that is tangible, and can be formed and physically arranged to shape Adam's body. We call this bones and flesh capable to carry and handle life. The bone marrow started all of Adam's possible movements through its muscles, it wills "to act" or perform deeds according to whatever purpose it may be. It is what you can touch and see, beautiful and strong.

2. Breath of life - in Hebrew, they call it "Spirit (ruakh chayim)". In a literal sense, God breathes His own Spirit into Adam. For out of God's nostril is His Spirit breathe to Adam. I assume from the nose of God, the Spirit enters Adam's nose. Some claim that the Spirit is what connects to God. Owned by God. Because it originated from Him. 

3. Living soul- the soul of man in this context is rather a complex topic to understand. But to me, it relates to "the act of breathing" into the Spirit of God. Borrowed from God, the Soul is what man owns while living on earth. It is his own expression from the "Breathe of life", from the Spirit received from God. It is Adam's response and vibrations that make a body move to live, eat, pray, think, or even feel love.

The body claims that it belonged to earth made up of dust while the Breathe of life originates from God. But the soul is the result of the body and Spirit of God that rests in Man. 

Spirit lives in every human nose and lungs while every soul lives in every heart to feel and mind to think.

When God is the God of bones and flesh, here comes one man named Adam. Not from evolution or some theories. This is clear, we humans all belonged to one Man and so we all belonged to one God.
