Oxygen=the breath of life

[CWH]

Oxygen is the life-giving gas; it is the mentioned "the breath of life".

Genesis 1:30
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

Genesis 2:7
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis 6:17
I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.

Genesis 7:15
Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.

Genesis 7:22
Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

Job 27:3
as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,

Job 33:4
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

Isaiah 42:5
This is what God the LORD says— he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

Ezekiel 37:5
This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.

Ezekiel 37:6
I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' "

Ezekiel 37:10
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

Revelation 11:11
But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.

Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. It may have connection with gematria number 888 which stands for Jesus. Number 8 also stands for salvation (8 persons saved in Noah's Ark) and resurrection of Jesus (" I am the resurrection and the life").

John 11:25
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;

John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

All these are related to life or life-saving. Oxygen being the 8th element, the life-giving gas and the breath of life (or the breath of God) seems to have some connections. Oxygen is necessary for all life to exist.

Many Blessings.

Hi again,

The Bible tells of mankind's creation in Gen.1;27. Why after describing this does the bible later say that "there was not a man to till the ground?" Gen.2;5

Not until the year 4000 BC does archeological evidence indicate that man began to till the ground. This happened with the bestowal to Adam and /Eve of God's "breath of life." Gen.2;7 and Gen.2;22

God planted a garden eastward of Eden and there these "living souls" endowed with the "breath of life" began farming, developing a civilization and making history. What brought this about? In 4000BC mankind was suddenly given the ability to use words. dan b

Proof of oxygen = breath of life:

All compounds necessary for life requires oxygen (from wiki):

"All major classes of structural molecules in living organisms, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, contain oxygen, as do the major inorganic compounds that comprise animal shells, teeth, and bone. Oxygen in the form of O2 is produced from water by cyanobacteria, algae and plants during photosynthesis and is used in cellular respiration for all complex life."

Water (H2O), the liquid of life contains oxygen
Carbon dioxide (CO2), the metabolism of life contains oxygen
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, the food of life contains oxygen

Therefore, oxygen is the gas mentioned of "the breath of life".

To answer dan b's question, God provided the knowledge of agriculture and language to man 6,000 years ago, see Genesis 2. It's that simple, what are you driving at?

Many Blessings to all.

Hi Cheow,

I assume you posted this to refute the video called Carbon Dioxide: The Breath of Life (http://www.co2science.org/) that I linked in the other thread (http://biblewheel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1340). If so, it would have been good to post it there so we could continue the conversation in context. But in any case, I think you missed the point. By themselves, neither oxygen nor carbon dioxide produce life, and so neither should be called "the breath of life" in and of themselves in a "technical" sense. The whole point of calling CO2 the "breath of life" was in response to the crazy anti-science global warming freaks who are teaching the lie that CO2 is a POLLUTANT when in fact it is an absolutely essential component of the biosphere.

And more importantly, I think it is a huge mistake to identify the Biblical "breath of life" that comes from God with a chemical element like oxygen. In the Bible, the "breath of life" is GOD'S SPIRIT OF LIFE - not a material chemical element.

All the best,

Richard

Hi RAM,

This thread has nothing to do with global warming.

The word "breath of life", "the breath" suggests a gas. I understand very well about oxygen toxicity if breathed in large amount for long time yet ironically it is a life saving gas, and a gas that all living beings require in order to survive. Same with CO2, which is toxic in large amount yet it is a gas that stimulates breathing and a gas that is essential for plants to survive. Since God is the creator of all things including both oxygen (O2) and CO2, it does suggest to me that O2 and CO2 could be" the breath of life". O2 is the more likely one. Of course, this is just an assumption; you could also be right that "the breath of life" is God's spirit of life.

Many Blessings to you.

Hey there my friend, :yo:

:sEm_ImSorry: I thought you were talking about "breath of life" because of that video I posted talking about global warming.

I like your final option - "the breath of life" is God's spirit of life.

Hi RAM,

It's ok for the misunderstanding. Anyway, I don't see much positive outcomes from the Copenhagen climate talk which I have predicted much earlier.

My final option - "the breath of life" is God's spirit of life does not necessary mean I agree with you. To me, your option of "the breath of life is God's spirit of life" is plausible, is also an assumption.:)

Many Blessings to you.

The meaning of "breath of life" is ambiguous. It only occurs a few times in Scripture, and usually it appears to mean nothing more than normal animal breath. For example:

Genesis 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
But the situation seems to be different in Gen 2:7 because here we see God specifically breathing the "breath of life" into Adam. There is no record of Him doing this with the other animals. So in this case it would seem that the "breath of life" is referring to the Spirit of God as opposed to mere animal breath. But I agree that Scripture does not give us enough info to be certain on this point.

Hi again,

Immediatly after Adam got the "breath of life" so that there would be a man who could farm, Adam was brought the animals to name. It seems to me that therefore the animals never had names yet. This seems like mabey there wasn't much talking going on like cavement. And also directly after recieving the ability to conceptualise and name things with words Adam's decendants are said to have begun inventing things. Gen.4 I'm not saying the the breath of life is definitly or only language but it sure makes more sense of these verses than any others that have been purposed. I don't like seeing the word of God thrashed. Stupid, non undersandable explainations degrade Christianianity! I think that the Bible makes sense! dan b

[CWH]

Oxygen is the 8th element in the Periodic Table. And the Biblical meaning of 8 is :

The transcendence associated with the Number Eight - recognized by both Jews and Christians - ultimately manifests in the everlasting New Beginning found in the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The 8 souls saved after the Great Flood also signifies a new Beginning.
When God breathed the breath of life i.e. Oxygen to Adam, it is a new beginning for mankind. Adam was made alive (resurrected) with the breath of life.

God Bless.:pray:
