"and the Word was God"

Yibme said: “How is a soul born of God?

Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (5315. nephesh)
nephesh:
a soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion

John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly (2836. koilia) shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not____ yet; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
2836. koilia: belly
Usage: belly, abdomen, heart, a general term covering any organ in the abdomen, e.g. stomach, womb; met: the inner man.

Me:
Christ has a God existence. He is the son of God. His human existence is of the heart or soul of man. He is the second Adam. He is the son (of God) of man. This is in contrast to the sons of God who are angels.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except (future) a man (one born of the flesh already) be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Me: We must be born of both the holy spirit and the human soul of Christ is our minds.

Ezk 11:19 (NKJV)
Then I will give them one (me :of the Messiah’s) heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh (me: the human mind), and give them a heart of flesh (the heart of the Son of man),

1 Cor 2:16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Me: Ezk 11:19
is a prophecy for Israel. But the heart of the Messiah applies to the church now.

Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Me:
Man needs a new human heart
 
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit (vs 5) is spirit.

Me: The holy spirit now has the human heart and mind of the Messiah in it for those born of the spirit. We are baptized of the holy spirit when we are born of the holy spirit. Those OT saints were baptized of the holy spirit after the resurrection and ascension of Christ into heaven, Christ was then became a life giving spirit (1 Cor 15:45).
