John146,
re: "Acts 2:31 - 'He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.'"

So apparently His soul was at some point in hell. But where was His spirit?

1 Peter 3:19 -"By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;" So assuming this is referring to the time between the Messiah's death and His resurrection, where was the Messiah's spirit? If His body was dead, then Ecclesiastes 12:7 seems to indicate that one's spirit returns to God who gave it. But 1 Peter says that the persons' spirits were in prison.

He gave it back to the Father, the giver of life. When a person dies, saved or lost, their spirit returns to the Lord, the body is in the grave, and their soul is what's at stake.

Those spirits in prison were the sons of God in Noah's day that corrupted the flesh of man. I would say they have no souls. They were not created in God's image as a triune being.
