  • When Man Was with God in Paradise
    God’s “Eternal Purpose” Now Triumphing for Man’s Good
    • To make that first human body alive and functioning perfectly, God did not take from heaven a bodyless “soul” (psy·kheʹ)c that, according to the pagan Greek idea, was flitting around like a butterfly, and breathe or insert it into the lifeless body.

  • When Man Was with God in Paradise
    God’s “Eternal Purpose” Now Triumphing for Man’s Good
    • c One of the meanings of the Greek word psy·kheʹ is “butterfly or moth.”—See Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon, Volume 2, page 2027, column 2, VI. In Grecian-Roman mythology, Psyche was a beautiful maiden personifying the soul and loved by the god Eros.
