Where is your soul and your spirit? Are they the same? Are they in the heart or head or where?

It seems that in the Greek mindset, they are different.
They are the same in Greek.
Is it?

Short answer: Man is a spirit, that has a soul, that abides in a body.
Our spirit that was breathed into us by God Himself. Is the everlasting eternal part of each of us.
Our soul is our thoughts & emotions that direct the actions we take.
Our body, well look into a mirror.
God is Spirit: John 4:24
Gen 2:7 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.
(NOTE: God breathed SPIRIT into a body He had prepared. And man became a living soul)
Our becoming a "living soul" is in relation to & in conjunction with the body.
1 Thess 5:23 (B) I pray God your whole "spirit" "soul" & "body" be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(NOTE: Our spirit is our connection plug to God. Our soul is our mind/will/emotions. Our body is flesh & bones. Believers, thru faith (Faith is the conduit that connects to our plug) quickened/made spiritually alive, connected to God (1 Cor 2:11; Heb 4:12; Ja 2:26). While unbelievers are spiritually dead & remain separated from God (Eph 2:1-5; Col 2:15)
Heb_4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(NOTE: I believe this verse say's: Although the spirit & soul are connected. God has the ability to divide/disconnect them.)
When the body dies & the two are no longer one. Yet, the spirit continues to lives on.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Matthew 16:26 & Mark 8:36 What would it profit a man. To gain the whole world & lose his soul.
(NOTE: A soul can be lost).
Our faith choice in this life will determine whether our spirit spend eternity in the presents of God with our soul in tact. Or eternity separated from God.
Our soul is in the space-time continuum...spirit is dimensionless and timeless.
They are not the same.
The heart and head are components of the soul.
The spirit can't be pointed to...
*it is the whole, which also transcends temporal limitations.
Heart and mind reside in the soul. Which is what the term soulish refers to. But some Christian traditions don’t believe in a division. I’m aware that’s true for some Evangelicals.
Division between soul and spirit?
Yes. It came up at a church I once attended when we were studying James.
I can tell because of my gifts and the warfare I experienced prior to and after my deliverance.
They are not the same, but there is also no division...unless one is lost. What do you say?
They are not the same. But the spiritual affects differ when you’re not in Christ than when you are. I address them as regions to pinpoint holes in my armor and areas of weakness prone to attack. I look at patterns to determine what strongholds he’s trying to erect.
As to true division, I cannot say and the information isn’t necessary for me to address a spiritual malady or detect it.
