Yes, but a human does not need a spirit to exist, where the Triune God does need all 3 equal parts.
The reason Science is incorrect in claiming we are basically animals is because of our soul. But remove the soul, we still exist, but just as higher evolved animals. So, we do not need a soul to exist. But God needs ALL 3 EQUAL PARTS TO BE THE ONE GOD!
So the example of human and triune God is factually incorrect!
My pets have a body and a mind and they are among the LIVING. We could not have a soul and because we still have a mind and body would be among the LIVING. But the Triune God MUST HAVE ALL THREE EQUAL PARTS to be the ONE GOD!
I cringe at the mind-body-spirit = Triune God because I know those people are factually clueless!

The way that teachers and scholars and students have discovered the difference and meaning of "soul" and "spirit" is by looking every occurrence of these words in the Bible. When you see how the "soul" operates, you get a better picture of what it is. Same with the spirit and body.
For example:
From just one verse, we can deduce that the soul contains knowledge. Of course these principles will be consistent throughout the Bible because it is flawless.
Here's a supporting verse or 2:
The proverbs verse not only corroborates the psalm, but it also offers understanding of the heart and its function and what it can receive. This is extremely extensive topic that I won't go into here. But If you look at every time body, soul, spirit (and their synonyms), you can see a clear distinction between the three and also understand their functions. Sometimes terms are used interchangeably to make a poetic point.
From the verses above, we can see that knowledge resides primarily in the mind, and wisdom resides primarily in the heart.
heart is usually the synonym for spirit
mind is usually the synonym for soul

And that is why the term never let your FEELINGS override your Thinking.
Feelings are from the soul, but Thinking is only from the mind.
You are walking down a dark alley in a place you have never been before. Your mind is already on alert. Suddenly a shadow appears and your heart panics. This is where Jesus said, HAVE NO FEAR! Just because your heart is panicking and you have fear, your mind is to be separated to know that God is with you. Totally separate the mind and soul!
I know when my body feels good my mind is at ease. But it does not mean the 2 are the same, it just means 1 reaction causes the other. You should study the human anatomy. God is the original Scientist, so never discredit science because you view it as the enemy,. It can never be the enemy because God created it!
