Soul is the life force so we agree.

Don't let nostrils throw you off, the breath of God is not air, it is spirit, it is the image or likeness of God. Life is spiritual life death is spiritual death, as in 'let the dead bury the dead.'

Adam and Eve have several meanings, one is that Eve represents the life force, the ego that is in constant conflict with the spiritual nature, Adam. Another is that Adam and Eve being the symbolic first humans it shows that humanity, regardless of colour, culture or creed belong to a single family and there are more.

Cain and Able continues this symbolic narrative and emphasises great displeasure at murder.

The real creativity is to write the story in the Bible and then have people today believe it is a story in which a dead body comes back to life. You are looking at a 2000 year old retelling of a story recorded long after the event and rich in symbolism and exaggeration.

There are many who did not recognise the returned Jesus, this is because the story is a mix up of events, fable and misunderstanding. They did not recognise Jesus because His return was spiritual and related to His word being taught after He death. His Word was the reality of Christ, not his body.

Strat with what is real in this world today and then use that to reason between symbolic and literal. Jesus lived in the same state of reality as you do, the dead today do not come back to life then or now.
