Gen 1:27. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
to me this is like this
A lightbulb (Body)
Electricity (breath)
Light. (living soul)
When the electricity is gone, what happens to the light? ceases to exist, not sleeping
When man ceases to breathe, what happens to the soul? Also s=ceases to exist, not sleeping.
Sprit and breath are the same words.
Just my opinion, others will differ.
