Having seen that man is not an “immortal soul” or “never-dying spirit,” we are prepared to accept the clear and unmistakable scriptures which say that “the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground” (Genesis 2:7); that “the first man is of the earth earthy” (1 Corinthians 15:47); and we can understand the following testimonies:
“Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes“—Genesis 18:27.
“Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?"—Job 10:9; 4:19.
