Most religions teach that the soul or spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. By means of this teaching, many of these religions exploit their members, charging money to pray for departed souls. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it it’s self will die.” [Ezekiel 18:4] “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all” [Ecclesiastes 9:5] Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul [John 11:11-25]

Not an add, just asking, curious, how many religions teach that the soul does not die?
Satan in Gen 3 said You won't really die at all.

My "religion" adheres carefully to the Bible, regardless of what is popular. You are correct; the soul that sins (all of us!) will die.
The spirit goes to God in that our life force (that he breathed into us, as into Adam at Genesis 2:7, when he became a living soul) because our only hope of life is to be resurrected. Our spirit, or life force, will be returned to the bodies of the resurrected ones, and they will once again become living souls.
In addition to Ecclesiastes 9:5, which you quoted to show the dead are unconcious, also Psalm 146:3, 4 tells us the same thing: "Do not put your trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish."

you may interpret this the two one among 2 procedures. First, that the only one that has the means to smash souls is God Almighty and this reflects what judgment is all approximately. confusing to attend to out-and-out eradication by way of fact the alternative verses which communicate in assessment sort of function. 2d, that this soul is being eradicated from his persons via destruction of the physique. The key-word is "from among his persons." I ought to pass with the generic technique provided that God very practically consistently speaks in the Bible approximately repentence as a thank you to stay away from the arriving destruction. dying of the particular physique does now not have an effect on the soul for that's who a character somewhat is. The soul is to be saved in hades upon dying till the time of final judgment before than God's large White Throne. that could additionally be stumbled on in Revelation. i could be curious to ascertain what the Hebrew word was once that grew to alter into translated into "soul."

Much of your concept is based upon death meaning the cessation of life. That is not a Biblical definition of death.
In Genesis, Adam and Eve were told "the day you eat of it, you shall surly die" We all know that they did not die on the day they ate the forbidden fruit so we need to look deeper.
The deeper meaning is that death is actually separation. When our body dies, our soul is separated from it. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit...something did die that day...their soul. Their soul was separated from God.
We can also see from what Paul wrote that death does not mean sleeping in a grave until some future resurrection. Paul stated that for him to die would be gain. He certainly would not think it was gain if he was in a grave somewhere. We can confirm this with Paul's statement that for him to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord.
Yes, their will be a resurrection of our bodies which will then be transformed to a sinless perfect body but this in no way means our soul is sleeping too. Every soul that was created will exist throughout eternity, on one of two places. Where depends on what we do with Jesus.

The soul is the seat of consciousness, the will, emotions, sight, sound, touch, taste, etc.
However, it's either alive to God or dead to God.
Have you made him Lord? ie does his Spirit have the upper hand over your soul?
The soul by itself is no better that a TV on random select!

Yes, Reincarnation. My religion is Wicca. It sounds like you are either a Jehovah's Witness, House of Yahweh or World Wide Church Of God.
