To a Christian, the statement “without God” does not make sense. It is impossible for me to contemplate such a state of being - with the exception that some entity chooses to be cut of from God (sin as a choice which is intended to cut us from God may be relevant, but I do not think you are discussing this).
Soul and spirit are closely related and that is why I mention spiritual growth for a soul that responds to God and grows with the help of the Holy Spirit.
