first humans with a god given soul maybe?
I tend to believe the others in the homo genus did not have souls
Was Adam the first human?

Re: Was Adam the first human?
I see what you're saying, but I think you're confusing soul and spirit. According to the bible, certain creatures(nephesh) are endowed with souls. Souls give something a mind, will, and emotions. The spirit, however, is only given to humans. The spirit is what allows us to have the capacity to communicate with God.Murray wrote:first humans with a god given soul maybe?

If you were to say, "Adam and Eve were the first humans to have a spirit ", then one could possibly make an argument, even a biblical argument for that.
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
