Soul or no soul

So I was reading...still more about the whole resurection idea...there was this notion within Judaism at points that human beings were just 1 and had no soul. I guess its kind of hard to discuss the exitence of something that is entirely metaphysical, but I pondered the question and kind of enjoyed the excersize. What are the ramifications of people not having a soul? This doesnt necessarily mean that there is no resurection, nor does it mean there isnt a heaven or any of that, it just means it looks different. The intermediate state that people are held in between death and resurection exists by virtue of the greatness of God. You know, say one thing for them, but Yahwists (the original Jews, long story for more info consult your local bible college) really had a vision for God in the big picture. I admit any idea that attributes greater power to God and less to people is something I dig, but its just interesting to think of how that effects the reading of scripture as well as theology, popular views and just a ton of little things here nad there. I also like simpler answers because they tend to have the longevity that I associate with wisdom. So do humans have a soul? Are we just flesh? Are we even more yet? Just something i was thinking about today.....
