Here are some verses about the soul:
Genesis 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 soul.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Animals have a body and spirit too:
Ecclesiastes 3:21
Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"
Ecclesiastes 12:7
and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
The spirit may be seen as intelligence (IQ):
Job 32:8 But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
The soul seems to be character, personality, temperament, memory but then animals seem to have these qualities too, so they may also have souls?
Thoughts anyone?
