The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life - DOES MAN HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL

Note, please, that after God started man breathing "the man came to be a living soul." Hence, the man was a soul, just as a man who becomes a doctor is a doctor. (1 Corinthians 15:45) Since a huma soul is man himself, then it cannot be some shadowy thing that merely inhabits the body or that can exist apart from the person. In harmony with this fact, the Bible makes plain that the human soul possesses human qualities. For example, the Bible speaks of the soul's desiring physical food, saying: "Your soul craves to eat meat." (Deuteronomy 12:20; Leviticus 17:12.) It says, too, that souls have blood traveling through their veins, for it speaks of "the blood of the souls of poor innocents." (Jeremiah 2:34, AV) Yes, your soul is really you, with all your physical and mental qualities. - PROVERBS 2:10. 

What, then, of the texts that use such expressions as "my soul," or those that speak of a person's soul as though it is within him? These texts of course, must harmonize with the Scriptures already considered, for there can be no contradiction in God's Word. It becomes evident, then, that the word "soul" may be used in different senses. At times it refers to one's own self as a soul. So just as one says "myself" he also says "my soul," meaning basically the same thing. Thus the psalmist wrote: "My soul has been sleepless from grief." - PSALM 119:28 [118:28 Dy].
