You missed the point I was making. The operative phrase was "that hath life". This is "nephesh", that which has life. "Nephesh" is the life force, the essence of life, that scripture says is only given to animals and man. Here is another definition:
Nephesh (Heb.) "Breath of Life, Anima, Mens Vitae, appetites. The term is used very loosely in the Bible. It generally means Prana, 'life'; in the Kabbalah it is the animal passions and the animal soul." Therefore, as maintained in theosophical teachings, Nephesh is the Prana-Kamic Principle, or the vital animal soul in man.
Like it or not, scripture does not say that plants have the "breath of life", the "nephesh", that defines animal and human life. There is something intrinsically different.
You ignore plants as being alive, and therefore dying before the Fall, purely out of ad hoc necessity.
Not really. You asked me a question. I answered on the understanding that I gained from reading scripture. I explained it to you. If you don't understand or agree with my response then that's not my fault.
