This means, when this breath leaves, life leaves man. Yet the soul is a recurring word and theme, and requires allocation. That man 'becomes' a living soul, infers an emulation of another, precedent and pre-existing phenomenon, which now man is also bestwed in this physical realm, and the residue which he takes with him when he ceases breathing and is not alive anymore.
The Soul, if you look closely, COULD have been used in the way you are suggesting. But upon research,I've come to realize that the "Soul" is just a referance to a person. "Living soul"="Living Person"=Living Being"
My understanding is, the breath is one of five components of a human soul, the other components being spirit, animal soul [instinct], elevated human soul ingredient, and the mind. Obviously, there has to be a form of recording all imprints of each living being, which prevails after life, and this factor most probably refers to what is commonly referred to as the soul.
Correct, Paul talks about this in Corinthians, these separate parts of man. the Spirit is a referance to the Spirit of God, and, since it is the Spirit of God, it is not yours. The same Spirit that He breathed into Adam. So, if the Spirit is not yours, and the spirit is a component of a Soul, how can there be an ethereal Soul? Components of man: Dirt & Spirit.
the mind is just part of the dirt.
