same word, same definition for soul.' has a soul ' or ' is a soul '.
however humans and animals both have a spirit. once the spirit is encased in the form/body it's called a soul because it takes a form associated to that vehicle's function.
hebrew and greek both differentiate between a spirit and a soul.
greek spirit vs soul
No where at Genesis 2:7 does it say Adam had a soul or that Adam possessed a soul, rather Adam was a soul.
this is the same thing as genesis 1:2 when the breath of god moved upon the waters and earth was formed. it works the same way for everything in third density being formed from the earth, or mater(matter). mother earth, father sky. in the egyptian it's reversed as Nut the heavens and Geb the earth.
once the vehicle/form is released, the personality dissolves because it is no longer attached to a third density form. it returns to its previous state as a spirit; which is ruwach.I find that hold true also for animals according to Numbers 31:28. Animals and humans are souls or living creation.
At Adam's death (all of Adam) simply ' returned ' to where Adam started ' the dust...' according to Genesis 3:19.
Adam went from non-life, to life, and returned back to non-life, or that Adam became a dead or lifeless soul.
Any thoughts about Ecclesiastes 3:19-20.
