Soul life = nephesh kai in the Hebrew. It means breath life. When you stop breathing youbsoul life stops. Spiritual life through Christ is incorruptible. God calls it being born again (anothen Greek- born from above) he calls it incorruptible seed. Preach the word, bring people to Christ and help them receive eternal life. That's how you beat the devil.
I agree with this completely. I also believe it was how God was able to create man to have choice without eternal life consequences. This is hard for a lot of people to entertain. A better reading of things like eternal punishment (Mt 25:46) may be, a punishment that is settled eternally. Also forever and ever can be interpreted to be to an end of an age. We can often miss meaning when only looking at the english translation of God's holy word.
"John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE." It's funny that perhaps the most well known verse in Christianity spells it out quite clearly.
