Answer 1

A lot of Christians are saying that the soul can’t die but what does God say

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Ezekiel 18:4


Are we immortal?

Which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, WHO ALONE IS IMMORTAL and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. I Timothy 6:15,16

We need to look the Bible and not popular tradition


Talking about death we should look at how life was created
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. - Genesis 2:7
From this we see that the soul is the combination of both the breath of God and the physical body.
So what happens when you die?
1) In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.- Genesis 3:19
2) And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. - Luke 23:46
3) Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. - Ecclesiastes 12:5

From these scriptures we see that when you die the two components of the soul either decay (the physical body) or goes back to God (the spirit)

Many people believe that the spirit is some intangible ghostlike substance but if you look at what the bible says
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils - Job 27:3

From this we see that the spirit is the Breath of Life not a … ghost (for lack of a better word)


Do the dead go directly to heaven or hell?

Psalms 115:17 The dead praise not the Lord.
Psalms 6:5 In death there is no remembrance of thee.
Isaiah 38:18 Death can not celebrate thee.
Psalms 146:4 His thoughts perish.
Job 21:32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die; but the dead do not know anything, nor do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.
From these verses we see that there is no thought in death

Some may argue that these are all Old Testament examples of the teaching of death so lets look at the New Testament
Jesus speaking about the death of Lazarus
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. John 11:11-14
Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose
1 Thessalonians 4:15 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:14 Them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
If we look at what Jesus said on the cross in Luke 23:43
And Jesus said to him, Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.

Many use this to prove the point that we go directly to our reward. The problem is in the Greek there was not a comma, the comma was placed centuries later by people who believed that we go directly to our reward. If you move the comma it conforms to the rest of scripture

And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you today, you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Read on and Jesus tells Mary he did not ascend to heaven yet.


But doesn’t the Bible say to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord?

As I mentioned above the Bible says we do not go directly to heaven or hell. I think we should look at 2 Corinthians 5, but rather than only looking at verse 8 lets look at the whole chapter in order to gain better perspective. If you read the whole text we see Paul talking about three states of being. In chapter 1 Paul writes 1) our earthly house {our earthly bodies} 2) a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens {glorified bodies}. In verse 3 he says 3) naked.

The question to ask is when do we get our glorified bodies?

1 Corinthians 15:51 says we get them at the last trumps when Christ returns proving we do not go directly to heaven upon death.

If we go directly to heaven or Hell when we die then there is never a time when we are “naked”

Let’s look at what Peter said in Acts chapter 2

Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
Acts 2:29

For David is not ascended into the heavens
Acts 2:34

So when do we go to heaven?

He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the LAST day. John 6:55

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. I Thessalonians 4:16

We go to heaven when Jesus comes

Answer 2

We are a spiritual being having a human experience. The spirit needs the body so it can see and hear and feel and learn by contact with the physical universe. Otherwise without a body, the spirit lays in silence and in darkness.

Answer 3

For a moment you think your own friend who is just by the side of you suddenly collapses and everybody after seeing him says he is dead. He is same person just a few seconds ago sitting beside you in flesh and blood but he is dead. So what is missing in him. It is called the spirit (or life). The body is in tact but the heart stoped beating and the spirit is gone. So far our science has not developed to that extent to understand what this spirit is, where it is coming from and where it is going. Spirit is definitely there.

Answer 4

We are intelligent beings who have a soul, sprit and a body. The sprit shows as in our eyes and the gatway to our spirit. The soul is the imagineation, will power, memory and all those things that we know is there but annot really see. The body dies and the other two live for ever if you believe then you will have no other problems later on.

Answer 5

As someone once wisely said "We are spirits having human experiences".

The spirit/soul is your subconscious. Ever see Kirlian photography? If you take a photo of an arm with the hand amputated, the hand is still there in the photo. That part of you is eternal and goes on after physical death.

Answer 6

We are vessels for Spirit. Spirit is the energy that can not be destroyed. The energy that was before life as we know it became. I believe evolution in itself is intelligence. Spirit goes to a place beyond my vocabulary. It resides outside of time and space as we know it.

Answer 7

Hhumans have Spirit. I belive this.

Answer 8

I not only have a spirit, but since I accepted Jesus as my savior, I now have the Holy Spirit inside me. Praise the Lord!!

Answer 9

I think everyone has a spirit. Thats why most people have do not resucitate on their wills, because they don't want their spirits stuck in their bodies on life support. Death is just one step in life.

Answer 10

yes inside human body we have spirits and when body dies the spirit is taken away to GOD

Answer 11

Consciousness can be broken down into chemical reactions in the brain. There is absolutely no evidence of humans or animals possessing a "spirit" (whatever that is). I think once your brain stops functioning, you cease to be. The end.
