We are souls made by God and sent to earth in the form of humans made up of blood and bones so that we can live in this world as its made just the way it has to be for humans to live.We are here with a motto of doing good deeds being successful in our lives and leading to the right path.This is like an examination hall for us.We are good in the world and always following God then we get our fruit thats the ever lasting beautiful life in the paradise and if we do bad deeds we are thrown in the never ending most horrible place...the hell.So be good and hope we all go to heaven!

According to the Christian faith, man is both. Genesis 2:7 shows this in the creation of man. It says that God formed a body out of the elements of the earth, breathed into it a breath (same word translated "spirit" in most other places) and man became a living soul.
So people are made up of three parts, spirit, soul and body. Each has a different purpose in a different realm and is subject to different laws. The body has authority in the physical realm and is subjected to physical laws. The soul as power in the realm of thought (ideas, will and emotions). While it can conceived ideas for the physical realm, it requires a body to perform them. Finally the spirit has access to the heavenly realm. It is would "sees" God and the things of the spirit.
The body is just as much "you" as the mind. The mind is just as much "you" as the spirit. Take away any of the three, and "you" no longer exist.
When the body and the soul work together, the Bible calls that "the flesh". When the sould and spirit work together, the Bible calls that "the heart".
After death, what survives - spirit, soul or body? The answer is all three. According to scripture, with Jesus' return, the "dead" will once again have access to the earth. God will set up his throne in the new city of Jerusalem. So people will need a body to be able to interact with the new earth. The resurrected bodies they receive at that time will be very different from the bodies we have today, as they will no be bound by all the physical restructions we face now. But people will once again be spirit, soul and body at that time. See 1 Corinthians chapter 15 for details.

Adam did not become a living soul until after God breathed life into the Newly formed body. that must is scriptural
Other scriptures say that Jesus existed before the world was formed. So the spirit has life before it is born, after all jesus wasnt born until the middle of time.
however even that has another story that jesus has created more than this one planet .
and has been a saviour to other planets and has been born on them too.
Ok, jesus said that GOD the Father is his god and our god, His Father and OUR Father. That would make me think we are all brothers and sisters of christ. which might imply that we were spirits too before we were born.
The Body of flesh has no life in itself except the spirit is joined. it might have a breathing machine and a heart that beats like an idol engine but until you get into the car it goes nowhere and has no pesonality. Just an expression of neglect or up to date servicing.
I think im correct on this matter, but i can be persuaded if the rebuttle is true.

Scientists used to believe in a soul but after thousands of years of looking for it all they found was a brain, not a soul, that caused behavior. If a soul existed we should have seen evidence for it by now.

They do, I suppose, and it is the soul which goes to God and which would be returned into the body on the Hereafter! May sound funny to you, but that is how they believe! I respect that!
