Can your soul be destroyed for awhile?And then be brought back into existence?

I got this from the above weblink:

49) Ps 90:3 God turns man to destruction, then says return How can one return from "destruction?"

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2018%3A4&version=KJV

I got this from the above weblink:

Ezekiel 18:4
King James Version
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Read full chapter
Ezekiel 18:4 in all English translations

By the way.Both of these are from the king james version of the bible.

Sometimes: 'soul' means the physical body in Scripture, and at other times it's talking about our inner-person(a)(lity), so some research would have to be done firstly into the deeper meaning of these passages.
 
The word: 'destruction' is also (often) (mis)translated from many different words, so (again); firstly the original meanings need to be understood.

Some good software for doing this would be: 'e-sword' for PC, or: 'my sword' for android. 
Also; Greek and Hebrew dictionaries and lexicons and a copy of Youngs and Concordant Literal recommended. 
I'd also recommend Jonathan Mitchells' NT - even if I don't agree with a lot of his views on things (or A E Knochs (or anyone's actually  :laugh: lol)); his translation itself is up there with the best of them.

The breathing person is a living soul.

Gen 2:7 (KJV) 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.

Anyone who is reading this is a living soul. Can a soul die? Yes it can. It most certainly is not immortal.

Ezek18:4 (KJV) Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Man is a living soul when two conditions exist:

(1) he breaths

(2) he has blood flowing in his veins

Death comes when we either cease to breath or bleed to death. When either one of these two conditions occur the soul dies.

PROOF

(1) Anyone who stops breathing dies. Could be from suffocation, drowning, or some other way of being unable to breath. If you stop breathing, you die.

Gen 7:22 (KJV) All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

A more accurate rendering of this verse is from The Concordant Literal Version.

Gen 7:22 (CLV) Everyone which has the breath of the spirit of the living in his nostrils, of all that were in the drained area, dies.

In the King James version the words "breath of life" is inaccurate. The more accurate is from the Concordant Literal Version - ""breath of the spirit of the living".
Simply put, a living soul dies when breathing ceases.

(2) Some bible students do not fully appreciated that scripture tells us of a connection between blood and the soul. This is an important point regarding the soul. Verses that reveal that the soul of the living person (flesh) is said to be in the blood.

Lev 17:11 (KJV) For the life of the flesh is in the blood.

Or more accurately from the CLV:

Lev. 17:11 (CLV) for the soul of the flesh, it is in the blood...

Upon death, what happens to the soul? Is there such a thing as a dead soul? Yes and we can find verses to show this in both the Old Testament and New Testament. Unfortunately, the scholars who translated the original text into the English language could not bring themselves to be true to scripture and forced their belief in the immortality of the soul into the translations. Instead of translating dead soul (dead nephesh) they translated it as dead body, thus losing the real meaning.

Here are a few of a number of verses from the Old Testament where there is reference to a dead soul (nephesh):

Lev. 19:28 (CLV) You shall not put a laceration in your flesh for a deceased soul (nephesh)? Lev. 21:1 (CLV) ?.No one shall defile himself for a deceased soul (nephesh) among his kinsmen, Num. 9:6 (CLV) And it came to be that some men who became unclean by touching a deceased soul (nephesh) of a human?.

So when a living soul (person) dies that person becomes a dead soul. What happens to a dead soul? We already saw that a body (flesh) upon death decays and returns to dust. And the spirit returns to God who gave it. We will look at the outcome of a dead soul after we look at a few verses in the New Testament on this topic.

In the New Testament the word soul is translated from the Greek word psuche (G5590). Here are some verses among many from the New Testament where there is reference to a soul.

I Pet 1:9 (KJV) Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls (psuche).

Act 2:41 (KJV) Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls (psuche).

Upon death, what happens to the soul?
There is no such thing as an immortal soul and the dead have no consciousness. Here is scripture about the death of Jesus Christ that is critical to understand what happens to the soul at death. What happened to Christ when He died? Did His soul continue to live? Or did His soul still exist when He was dead? He certainly died and had no breath. In fact if He did not really die, we have no Savior.

Acts 2:27 (KJV) Because thou wilt not leave my soul (psuche) in hell (hades), neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

A more accurate translation is:

Acts 2:27 (CLV) For Thou wilt not be forsaking my soul (psuche) in the unseen (hades), Nor wilt Thou be giving Thy Benign One to be acquainted with decay."

The dead Christ, His soul and body (which did not decay) was in the grave (the unseen or imperceptible) until the Father raised Him from the dead.

The person who dies does not go to heaven. Neither does the person go to hell. He or she has not gone anywhere. Failure to recognize the facts concerning death makes resurrection unimportant. If the dead are alive enjoying the bliss of a better life without a body, what real need is there for a resurrection?

The soul has returned to the unseen, the spirit has returned to God, and the body will return to soil. But be not be mislead into thinking that the spirit which has returned to God is conscious. There is no scriptural basis to warrant saying that there is any consciousness, except when body and spirit are united, forming soul, which is sensation, or consciousness. Dead people are unconscious. They are not with the Lord. Only in resurrection, not in death shall anyone be with the Lord.

Hope you do not mind this , but found it helpful for me to keep the faith and hope alive by the love of God .

Adam was made a living soul, in Adam all die, in Christ, anointing of the Holy Spirits power over death though Jesus Christ sacrifice on the cross, the open show and was revealed and no longer hidden from our eyes 
His Soul was given [Isaiah 53 ] in exchange for ours that are corrupted by sin
So, its Jesus soul [life] in you and you live because of Him, not our own any longer. JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE AND WELL DOING STILL and that means you are too. If you are in Christ and a new creation.  :HeartThrob:
