WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT HELPS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SOUL IS?
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." (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he BECAME a soul, a living person.) (The part of the Hebrew word here rendered "soul" is ne´phesh. KJ, AS, and Dy agree with that rendering.)
DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT ANIMALS ARE SOULS?
Gen. 1:20, 21, 24, 25: "God went on to say: `Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls* . . . ' And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. . . . And God went on to say: `Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds . . . ' And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind." (*In Hebrew the word here is ne´phesh. Ro reads "soul." Some translations use the rendering "creature[s].")
Rev. 16:3: "It became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul* died, yes, the things in the sea." (Here, the Christian Greek Scriptures also show animals to be souls.) (*In Greek the word here is psy·khe´. KJ, AS, and Dy render it "soul." Some translators use the term "creature" or "thing.")
CAN THE HUMAN SOUL DIE?
Ezek. 18:4: "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 ne´phesh." KJ, AS, RS, NE, and Dy render it "the soul." Some translations say "the man" or "the person.")
Matt. 10:28: "Do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul [or, "life"]; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul* and body in Gehenna." (*Greek has the accusative case of psy·khe´. KJ, AS, RS, NE, TEV, Dy, JB, and NAB all render it "soul.")
Acts 3:23: "Indeed, any soul [Greek, psy·khe´] that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people."

The Soul of mankind is the Eternal Part that can never die. The Soul will live eternally either in Heaven or the Lake of Fire. Amen
Hebrews 10:37-39 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

37For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
NOTICE: In verse 38 Christ says that My Soul (Christ's Soul) who was crucified and died but His Soul Lives On. Amen

It only talks about physical death. The Bible doesn't mention the souls death.
Ezekiel 18:3 -4 says : " As I live, says the Lord God : I swear that there shall no longer be anyone among yo who will repeat this proverb in Israel. For all lives are mine; the life of the father is like the life of the son, both are mine; only the one who sins shall die."
Nothing about the soul there.

Ezekiel 18:4 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.
As we all sin, we die, our soul dies.

Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
For one.
Understand that no human, nor Satan, can kill the soul. Only God can do so, according to scripture. I am speaking according to scripture and not man, as man does teach that the soul is "immortal", which is not backed up by scripture. Anything God has created he can also destroy.

None are perfect, everyone sins, therefore, we all die.

When you die, your soul dies because your body is a soul. So it's impossible for your soul to be alive, or to go to heaven, when you die because your soul dies when you die.

Revelation 20:14 And hell and death were cast into the pool of fire. This is the second death.
Those who are in JESUS CHRIST washed in the BLOOD OF THE LAMB at the end of days shall LIVE forever with THE LORD.
Those who are among the dead . .. shall be forever dead . .. This is the death of the soul, the second death. . . There is LIFE in JESUS . .. the first death is not death then . .. but the second death is eternal death . ..
-LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.
