What happens to a person's soul when they die?

Answer 1

The poster above is right about the soul and the condition of the dead, but they forgot to mention that there is a future prospect for all dead people.

John 5:28, 29: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice [the voice of Jesus] and come out.”

Acts 24:15: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Both those who lived in harmony with God’s righteous ways and people who, out of ignorance, did unrighteous things will be resurrected.

The Bible does not answer all our questions as to whether certain specific individuals who have died will be resurrected. But we can be confident that God, who knows all the facts, will act impartially, with justice tempered by mercy that does not ignore his righteous standards. Compare Genesis 18:25.

Rev. 20:13, 14: “The sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.”

So, those whose death was attributable to Adamic sin will be raised, whether they were buried at sea or in Hades, the common earthly grave of dead mankind.

Answer 2

Bible definition is that a soul is the combination of the body and the "breath" of God or the life that a person has. A person is a soul--they don't have a soul. In the same way a doctor is a doctor, he doesn't possess a doctor. Therefore, when the person dies, the soul dies.

Answer 3

The soul goes back to the heavenly Father who gave it . the human body is dead and knows nothing and will return to dust of the earth. scientists has even discovered something leaves the body when you die and I don't mean just our breath. And the soul will be called up to be judged on judgement day. Then we will have a spiritual body.
