1) What soul? What exactly is a soul? That's like asking "when was your smizmar created?"
2) What is heaven?
3) Define God. We seem to be working with a lot of vague terms here.
4) Define Hell.

Good question. The creation of human was with additional effort. God molded human body from mud. He blew his breath into the mud turned human body and it became a living soul. Let say, when God's breath entered into the human mass, it activated the soul and the body and the breath is the spirit. So a human has three parts all in one: spirit, soul and body. But there are those who challenge that soul and spirit are one and the same thing. As a result human has two parts in him. But I prefer the fact that human has three parts. The Chinese is better in handling this, it has words for spirit, soul and body all in different characters. There is no confusion. When a life is conceived, all three are 'conceived' together. The body will grow each day until being born. I prefer to believe that the soul and spirit are growing with the body in the womb at the same time. This is obvious. Some believe that the souls were existed before they are born to any parents. But I would prefer to say at the time of conception. I think more souls will end up in hell for this is obvious. Jesus said the path to hell is broad and easy to travel. You can imagine many will go through the road to hell. Anyway, the spirit and soul are twins and they are so close and intertwined. It is very hard to talk of one without the other.

In the Bible the word "soul" is translated from the hebrew word nephesh and the greek word psykhe. The Bible shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or animal enjoys. However, to many people "soul" means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others believe that it is the principal of life. But these latter views are not Bibe teachings.
Genesis 2:7 states that "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."
(Notice that it says he came to BE a living soul, not that he was GIVEN a soul.
Joshua 11:11 says "They went striking every soul [Hebrew nephesh] that was in it with the edge of the sword." (The soul is here described as being able to be touched by a sword, so the these souls could not have been spirits.)
Ezekiel 18:4 says- "Look! All the souls- to me they belong. As the soul* of the father so likewise the soul of the son- to me they belong. The soul that is sinning -it itself will die."
(* Hebrew reads "the nephesh." King James Version renders it the "soul" some translations of the Bible say "the man" or "the person"
The soul is not an immortal part of humans that lives on.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 says that "the dead are conscious of nothing at all." The words nephesh and psyche mean the life.
8 souls survived the flood, 1 Peter 3:20.
The survival of an immaterial part of human life after death is a pagan teaching and goes against the word of Jehovah God.
The Hebrew word for "hell" is Sheol, Sheol literally means the common grave of mankind Scince the dead are conscious of nothing at all, there is no torment or pleasure in the grave. Those who believe that the Bible is Gods inspired word will take the Bible as authority, and not what men tell them, search for yourself and find the truth, dont take my word for it. Hellfire is a pagan teaching also, stemming from ancient worshippers of Molech, who used to burn their own children in fire as a sacrifice to Molech.

The soul and the existence are an same problem . seem on the advent of Adam,"God blew into him the breath of existence, and he grew to develop right into a residing soul" , later interior the scriptures, it says" the soul that's sinning will die", the soul is the residing being them self, not something that lives except for the body that we've interior ourselves.existence is handed on in the time of idea. so a procedures as heavenly existence, there are some who will receive a non secular body at their resurrection.The angels were created having a non secular body sometime lengthy previously the textile advent previously the universe, earth and existence,yet those at the instantaneous are not an same as those who who're given a non secular body at their resurrection. Revelation 5:9,10. maximum those who've died will be resurrected in a actual body on earth John 5:28, 29, yet this may happen in the course of the time period after the conflict of Armageddon .there is one God, his call is Jehovah, Psalms 80 3:18 and his son is Christ Jesus,Colossians a million:15

I think in the book of genesis there is a verse which says all life was created and that all things were good.
So yes i do believe that we all existed as it says that jesus existed before the world was created. he called God the FATHER his god and OUR god and his fahter and our father therefoere we are all brothers and sisters. that is except Mary who is Jesus Mother.(thats my opinion)
Of all souls, the most will end up in heaven, some will be sent to outer darkness and these are called the sons of perdition.
Every one that calls upon the name of jesus, even though he were in hell will be saved, and live as though he were alive in the spirit. All sins will be forgiven Except ONLY ONE.
but until that day! there is still some places called hell and death and there likewise several heavens. and at least one paradise.

I"ll try to answer your question:
1)Our souls existed in God"s mind from the beginning
2)Of course God created our souls, if not he wouldn"t be our creator.
3)We don"t know how many souls will end up in Hell. That"s a mistery. In the Gospel Jesus says that "many are called but few are chosen".Perhaps there you have a hint.
Finally, I"ll answer the first question : our soul was created at the very moment of our conception. That"s philosophy. We could"nt have been born without a soul.

Before the annuls of time...
I would not use the term 'heaven', but yes, I existed before this earthly existence...
All souls are 'born' from a Prime Soul...
We each create our own reality...there is no hell in those terms, yet many are experiencing their own version of it now, it is not eternal either...no soul is forever ignorant.

According to the Holy Scriptures, a soul is a living, breathing creature that eventually dies. The hebrew word pronounced nay-fesh, means breathing creature.
"then The Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being [KJV living soul]." (Genesis 2:7 RSV)
Spirit and soul are seperate.
"May the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23 RSV)

Did God create our souls?Yes
our souls are simple small parts of God
and when we accept christ and die our souls will return back to God in heaven.
And anything alive and breathing has a soul.
