 Which one? The soul or the spirit?

 You keep talking about them like they are one and the same.

 And yet the bible is quite clear that they are two different
 things:

 HEB 4:12  For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and
 sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the *dividing*
 *asunder* of *soul* and *spirit*, and of the joints and marrow, and
 [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

 I COR 15:45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made
 a living *soul*; the last Adam [was made] a quickening *spirit*.

 I THES 5:23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and
 [I pray God] your whole spirit *and* soul and body be preserved
 blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 So, if my soul goes to Hell, where does my spirit go? Is there
 anything to stop my soul from going to Heaven if my spirit
 ends up in Hell? (Be prepaired to defend your answer with
 relevant passages from the Bible.)

 Looks to me like the editors of the Bible accidentally left some
 traces of Gnosticism in it.
