Bible AnswerThe Bible shows we ARE a soul and our spirit is the active life-force (breath) in each of us.

This is what the bible says about the soul and spirit. Gen. 2:7: "God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul." The bible does not say that man wasGIVEN a soul but that he BECAME a soul, a living person.Eccl. 12:7: "Then the dust returns to the earth just as it happened to be and the spirit or, life-force; Hebrew, ru′ach] itself returns to the true God who gave it." The Hebrew Word for spirit is ru′ach; but the Word translated soul is ne′phesh. The text does not mean that at death the spirit travels all the way to the personal presence of God; rather, any prospect for the person to live again rests with God. In similar usage, we may say that, if required payments are not made by the buyer of a piece of property, the property "returns" to its owner.NE, and Dy all here render ru′ach as "spirit." NAB reads "life breath." Ezek. 18:4: "The soul that is sinning---it itself will die." (RS, NE,KJ, and Dy all render the Hebrew Word ne′pheshin this verse as "soul," thus saying that it is thesoul that dies. Some translations that render ne′phesh as "soul" in other passages use the expression "the man" or "the one" in this verse. Ne′phesh, the soul, is the person, not an immaterial part of him that survives when his body dies.

The spirit has a number of meanings. All of them refer to that which is invisible to human sight and which gives evidence of force in motion. The Hebrew and Greek Words are used with reference to (1) wind, (2) the active life-force in earthly creatures, (3) the impelling force that issues from a person's figurative heart and that causes him to say and do things in a certain way, (4) inspired utterances originating with an invisible source, (5) spirit persons, and (6) God's active force, or holy spirit. When we die Ps. 146:4 says "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish." Some translators render it "breath." When that spirit (ru′ach,) or ACTIVE LIFE FORCE, leaves the body, the person's thoughts perish; they do not continue in another realm.
