Just some thoughts-
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord:
2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Our spirits go to God . Our bodies await ressurection. The soul is active when the spirit is placed in the body
Gen 2:7 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.
