Genesis 1:21, 24, 25. In contrast with animals, man was made in the image andiikeness of God. Genesis 1:26, 27. Man.in his present human form was created by God as the con- clusion and consumation of all creation. God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. These distinctions classify man above all other forms of life on earth and indicate that man is a moral creature with intellect, capacity for feeling and a will. While the soul and spirit of man are represented as continuing forever, the body returns to the dust from which it was formed, and the spirit goes to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7) Accordingly people can kill the body but not the soul.
