Despite the differences in wording and emphasis, many religions hold that the divine is present in the human body in some way, and that the human being is a special creation, created in the image of the divine.
Different religions have varying beliefs about God putting his own spirit or breath in the human body. Here are a few examples:
- Islam: Islam teaches that God breathed into the first human, Adam, the spirit that made him a living being. This belief is expressed in the Qur’an.
- Christianity: Christianity teaches that God breathed life into the first human, Adam, and that all human beings are made in the image of God and possess a soul. This belief is expressed in the creation account in the book of Genesis in the Bible.
- Hinduism: Hinduism believes that the individual self (Atman) is a part of the ultimate reality (Brahman), and that the Atman is indwelled by the divine breath or spirit (Prana). This belief is expressed in the Hindu scriptures, the Upanishads.
- Judaism: Jewish tradition teaches that God breathed the breath of life into Adam, which made him a living soul. This belief is expressed in the book of Genesis in the Torah.
- Native American Spirituality: Native American spirituality holds that the breath is a sacred force that connects the individual with the divine. It is believed that the breath gives life and spirit to the body, and that it is a gift from the Creator.
These are just a few examples of the different beliefs about God putting his own spirit or breath in the human body in different religions.
