I read nothing about any act prior to the 
creation of Adam that would have created men and women as spirits prior to 
their birth in the flesh.


DAVEH:   Again DavidM, thanx for taking the time to respond.   Does not the creation of angels or sons of God constitute an act prior to the creation of Adam that could indicate a pre-mortal existence of spirits?  Is there a reason you would believe the angels are that much different from mortals?

Because the book of Genesis outlines very clearly how God created the first 
man, from the dust of the ground, and then breathed into him the breath of 
life.  From him, he created woman, and man and woman came together to bring 
forth offspring of their own.  I read nothing about any act prior to the 
creation of Adam that would have created men and women as spirits prior to 
their birth in the flesh.

In addition, when Jesus was born into this world, there is testimony of his 
prior existence.  However, concerning his birth, he is spoken of as being 
unique.  This is that word "monogenes" that we have brought up before. 
Therefore, Jesus is uniquely the Son of God in that he was born in a way 
that  no other man was.  His pre-existence, therefore, ought not be 
understood as applying to other people.  He is unique in this regard, in 
that he was God himself, the Logos.

There are some other reasons that are important as well, but I do not have 
the time right now to go into them.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
