The creation of man and his uniqueness over other animals
Only in the case of Adam is it said, “And he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,” and also, “In the image of God created he man.”
I would appreciate an explanation for your understanding of what is special about man in this regard and how is the soul and the image of God expressed in him?
I have a social explanation for this, articles and a book “Who am I, the human being?”
I would be happy to expand the discussion.
I didn’t understand the question. Don’t you see what’s special about man? He has choice and free will, and he has reason. That’s why he has commandments and other creatures don’t.
According to Kabbalah and the Sages: Man is a soul - like all animals, the animal soul in the language of Kabbalah. Spirit - creative self-realization and a living and unique soul - part of God, whoever breathes from Him breathes. Spirituality within the soul of man and devotion to God and His commandments.
Every person can feel for himself to reach a connection to his spiritual ”I” through the restrictions of the law that sharpen the sense of the soul
And this is my recommendation to those who wonder about the reality of God and His commandments.
The way to connect is through actions and this is also logical proof of why we have this spiritual soul.
The verses about the image and breath of God are more understandable
Because mind is not something that characterizes God who is not a body and is not the image of the body.
It is possible that man has the power of choice as you mentioned.
Beyond the level of intellect. Other animals also have minds at a certain level
I would like to thank you for your response to what I wrote last time about the soul, spirit, and living, single soul.
