the soul is not a physical thing that may be localized like a body. I guess when you open a door, sunshine comes in. When you die, the soul leaves it in much the same way.

The "location" of the soul depends heavily on how the Bible describes the soul.
In ancient Judaism (as well as modern Israel and other Semitic groups), there is a concept known as the Semitic Totality Concept (STC from here on). This is the idea that man is a unity of both body and soul. But man doesn't have a body; he IS a body. Death, as we moderns know it, was thought of in the ANE as the separation of the two totalities. Therefore, the two were not separated until death. The person, then, is divided into two beings, the finite body and the immortal soul.
That being said, the soul is probably "located" in every part of our body, because it is what we are.
This is a difficult thing to answer, but I hope that I've helped to clear this up for some of you out there.

Adam and Eve were Created Souls.
Since them all are born souls in sin to die.
1Cor,15:22;
As in Adam all die even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
So next is resurrect souls. Psm.104:29,30; Rev.20:1-6,12,13;
The spirit of God is the life in the soul, the spirit belongs to God and returns to him for the resurrection of the soul that the spirit belongs to. Num.16:22; James 2:26; Eccl.12:7;
There will be a new heavens and a new earth. Thousands got to the new heavens[ as Satan took a third of the angels with him], John 6:39,40,44; 1Thes.4:15-17; and billions for the new earth,
Luke 23:43; Rev.2:7; 2Pet.3:13; Rev.21:1-5;

No one can know if a soul exists, let alone it's location. It's simply impossible.
Some hold to the belief that a soul does exist (and can I appreciate their belief in that). Others would argue that the "soul" is simply the product of our brains, the perception of the world through our individualized collection of neurons. Who can say?
Those that do believe in people having souls have varying opinions about it's location: the brain, the heart, or other points in the body. The soul is also believed to reside out in the metaphysical, etheral "somewhere".

your soul is your spirit. if you read within the first 7 vs of gen ch 1 you will see how God moved across the face of the water. the earth is 3/4 water and so is your body. water/fluids are all through you body. you are filled with spirit. there is no specific place in or on your body where your soul is located. you are not defined by the way you look you are what you eat.
these things are factual. it was a pleasure answering your
question.

Hi, the soul of a person enters through their nostrils and stays in the mind of a person.Your soul is what keeps your body alive, without it you would be dead. When you die your soul either goes to heaven or Hell based on the type of person you were in this world.

The soul cannot turn into corpse for it is a spirit. If you are righteous it Ascends up into heaven. IF you are not saved it descends into the first hell the first death.

i believe that the soul is through out the body until death. then the soul would probably just decend out of the body. This is just my perception of this though.

Your soul isn't in your body, is situated in another dimensions of world which are invisible using normal (mind) eyes. Use soul eyes(senses) to see(feel) yourself.
