Why "Soul" and "Spirit"?

--- Quote from: chrissiela ---well... I gave you my answer already but will go ahead and post it here...
I don’t think that is has anything to do with the ‘air’ (or breath) that we take at birth… but it has to do with His spirit (not the spirit of Christ, but the spirit which gives us life that comes from the Father) that He puts in us to make us a ‘living soul’….
When does that happen?? I don’t know…. But I would GUESS at conception…. When the body has begun to ‘form’ in the womb….. it seems to me that the fetus is ‘alive’ even before actual birth… BEFORE taking a breath of air… it is considered 'viable' even before considered 'full-term'... and responds to outside stimuli, etc, even while in the womb....

--- End quote ---
Exactly! I agree because God created Adam from the dust of the ground, and it was not until He breathed into his nostrils the breathe of life that he became a living soul. so a baby is a "living soul" even inside his mother's womb. It needs to feed, and everything otherwise it'll die. therefore, alive.
I mean am I right on this, or am I a heretic?

Good imput guys. Verses I've never been taught or thought of before concerning this subject.
chrissiela:
Also in keeping with the fact that it is Godo who opens and closes the womb to begin with... so even conception is at the will of God.

Hello M, I did not accuse you of having any ulterior motive if I gave that impression I apologize. My point was that we do not ascribe to the "soul" as being anything other than body (formed of clay by God) + spirit (breathed by God) = a living soul.
I did mention that this subject comes up time after time, and it is usually by someone who believes in an immortal soul or the trinity doctrine or both.
I was only attempting to answer what I thought was your question.
Again, my apologies.
