1 Corinthians 15:
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
Was the heavenly man, Jesus ..or the first Adam to have a soul?

Clearly, you do not understand what happened really in that genesis story, and you have condemned the Man that fathered the mankind Race, the Man whose body was coupled by the Most Holy Hands of GOD. The first Man, whom GOD said: And GOD saw that it was very good.
The level of ignorance that "christians" display, regarding the very Adam, and Eve, who were the whole reason why Procreation is possible is embarrassing. Lies about them have bastardized the human race. I know my fathers, I acknowledge their great works, and I know where they rank in the kingdom. Therefore, I proudly acknowledge my fathers, who were sent before me, who are greater than me, that were given a monumental task to complete,. and did so. And i will not cease to acknowledge their great works.

Do you think that the body that they had before the fall, the body that could not die, was mortal? And then do you think that the body they had could procreate? If it was so, that procreation was possible, why would GOD need to bless them and tell them to be fruitful and multiply? And then when Speaking of the Woman, HE said after the fall that now she will experience pain in child birth. Is it that before the fall she wouldn't experience that pain? If you are saying it is, then do you agree that the fall altered their body in some way?
Before you answer, the body that GOD's Hands coupled, is what they were wearing, that HE the GOD said was in HIS image and after HIS likeness. And GOD said that it was very good. Why would there be the transfigured body that is greater than that body, but that body was not the kind that GOD called Very good.
When you really look at it, GOD said that the body HE coupled for Man was greater than the earth, the water, the air, the animals, and even the Light. For it was only concerning Man that GOD said it was very good.
