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.

Hello,Luke and drbible 1611! This topic is new to me. Looks interesting.

Based on the above verse, "man became a living soul" as soon as he had his body formed and had his spirit ("breath of life") breathed into him.

When does a person begins to have a body AND breath? I think that would be when he began to have a soul. I have been thinking that the body without the spirit never has a soul; but as soon as the body receives the spirit ("the breath of life"), it already has a soul.
