No. They are not found in the Bible but is a pagan concept. The Bible does say what a soul is. Genesis 2:7 shows God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life "and man came to be a living soul." The soul is the living body. Take the breath away and you have a dead soul.
Ezekiel 18:4 shows the "soul that is sinning, it itself will die."
Romans 5:12 shows we all sin from Adam's inherited sin.
So instead of being immortal, all souls die.

Nope, not in the Bible, Lone Ranger. The word "rousch" in Hebrew sometimes lends to confusion because it translates as both 'spirit being' or God's 'breath of life.' Nonetheless, humans are not referred to as spirit beings anywhere in the Bible; so the most applicable definition for us would be breath of life. The creation of Adam is a case in point.
I'm sure you know the old analogy: a box is made up of wood and nails. Take the nails away, you've got no box. Leave the nails and take the wood away, still no box. The same applies in theory to the human soul, take the body away, no human soul. Take the breath of life from God away; but leave the body...still no human soul! Gotta have both to make a living soul...no immortality there!
Besides, immortality ONLY belongs to God except He gives it to us as a gift in the earth made new.
Sorry, no time to get all the scriptures together to prove these points. I'm thinking you're pretty much on the same page, however. ;)

Spirit is the only thing immortal, Satan is spirit, that's why he.s immortal, and can't die, that why when he is thrown in the ever lasting he will be in torment for ever. Mortal man is all flesh and blood, except for the little man spirit, God gave to man, that makes him different, and able to reason and thank, from the other animals. There is no immortal soul, for one thing, man was never given a soul, man was made a living soul, the same as all animals. The word soul in the bible is used to represent any part of the body, because every part of the body is soul. Man was made a living soul. When we are made immortal by Jesus, when he returns the second time, we will no longer be soul, we will be Spirit.

The word immotal appears in the Bible only once as follows:
1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
As you can see the word soul does not appear in this one and only verse with the word immortal

No.
The soul refers to the entire person. When that person dies, his soul dies also.
The Bible makes it a point that souls have blood in their veins. Thus fish and other animals are souls.
Still, one scripture in Hebrews talks about God's soul. Thus even heavenly beings are said to be souls. In this case only, God's soul and now also Christ's soul and the resurrected Saints the soul of each of these is immortal.

I can answer this with one scripture - 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."
Far as I know, there is not one person that is without sin. Therefore we can conclude that - we die and the soul dies.

Back before the only begotten son was born and he shed his blood on a torture stake it applies to it alot.Once Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven Jehovah God was the only answer.Alot of people went against him.Adam and Eve,for example didn't have the choice.They automatically got their first and second death at the same time.Angels that went against him which are now Satan and his angels will have it at the same time.Loyalty to Jehovah God was tested so he threw them out of heaven and now taking war on Earth for His required time to test us.That's where Armageddon will come and the death of them will be thrown into lake of fire.They symbolize it in Revelation.

The word 'soul' and the concept that the human soul is immortal are both found in the Bible (jesussaves gave some very good examples from scripture to prove that both concepts do appear). Even though the phrase 'immortal soul' does not appear, the concept of an immortal soul does.

John 3:16 everlasting life
Matthew 19:16
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mark 3:29
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
soul dies if sin accounted to it
Jesus saves and cleanses form sin. SO no soul death and that is eternal.
and again you used the word bible which is not found in the bible.

No because once you die you go back to the ground where you came from.
Revelation Its Grand Climax At Hand! p. 139
Jehovah's Plagues on Christendom
Christendom's waters revealed to be wormwood
Beliefs and attitudes of Christendom:
The human soul is immortal: "When man dies his soul and his body are disunited. His body...decays...The human soul, however, does not die." (What Happens After Death, a Roman Catholic publication.)
WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY SAYS:
Man is a soul. At death the soul ceases to feel or think and returns to the dust from which it was made. (Genesis 2:7; 3:19; Psalm 146:3, 4; Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20; 9:5, 10; Ezekiel 18:4, 20)
Genesis 2:7: "And Jehovah 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.'
Genesis 3:19: "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Psalm 146:3, 4; "Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,
Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish."
Eccl. 3:19, 20: "For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust."
Eccl. 9:5, 10: 5 "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 10 All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She´ol, the place to which you are going."
Ezekiel 18:4, 20: 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. 20 The soul that is sinning—it itself will die. A son himself will bear nothing because of the error of the father, and a father himself will bear nothing because of the error of the son. Upon his own self the very righteousness of the righteous one will come to be, and upon his own self the very wickedness of a wicked one will come to be."
Reasoning from the Scriptures p. 99-101
Death
Where are the dead?
Gen. 3:19: "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return."
Eccl. 9:10: "All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowlege nor wisdom in Sheol ["the grave," KJ, Kx; "the world of the dead," TEV], the place to which you are going."
What is the condition of the dead?
Eccl. 9:5: "The living are conscious that the will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all."
Ps. 146:4: "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts ["thoughts," KJ, 145:4 in Dy; "all his thinking," NE; "plans," RS, NAB] Do persih."
John 11:11-14: "'Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.'...Jesus said to them outspokenly: 'Lazarus has died.'" (also Psalm 13:3)
Ps. 13:3: "Do look [upon me]; answer me, O Jehovah my God. Do make my eyes shine, that I may not fall asleep in death,"
Is there some part of man that lives on when the bodies dies?
Eccl. 9:6: "The soul ["soul," RS, NE, KJ, Dy, Kx; "man," JB; "person," TEV] that is sinning----it itself will die."
Isa. 53:12: "He poured out his soul ["soul," Rs, KJ, Dy; "life," TEV; "himself," JB, Kx, NAB] to the very death." (compare Matthew 26:38)
Matthew 26:38: "Then he said to them: “My soul is deeply grieved, even to death. Stay here and keep on the watch with me.”
EDIT: to Larina S.
This is what the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures says: it says incorruptible not immortal. go to the online Bible and the Official Website of Jehovah's Witnesses: http://watchtower.org
http://watchtower.org/e/bible/index.htm
1 Timothy 7:17: "Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, [the] only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."
