26 And God Said, Let Us Make Man In Our Image, After Our Likeness:
Man is made in god’s image, so man must not kill one of his own kind. And god saw that it was good. However, we can use general biblical principles to develop some clarity on the subject.
Whenever I Bring Clouds Over The Earth And The Rainbow Appears In The Clouds, I Will Remember My Covenant Between Me And You And All Living Creatures Of Every Kind.
As one dies, so dies the other. Animals do not have a soul or a spirit. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
God Prohibited The Killing Of A Man (Exodus 20:13), But He Placed No Such Restriction On The Killing Of Animals.
And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. The hebrew bible however uses the term “nephesh hayah” which always means “living soul” or “air breathing creature.”. The bible states that both man ( genesis 2:7) and animals ( genesis 1:30;
Since Animals And Plants Are Living Things, They Have Souls, But Not In The Sense In Which Human Beings Have Souls.
Man and animals are not the same. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. In genesis 1:20 it is explicitly said that animals actually.
We Are Made In God’s Image.
( genesis 2:7, footnote) a soul is composed of two things: The soul is the principle of life. Do not forget the life of your poor forever.
