Question: "What does the Bible say about death?"
Answer: The Bible presents death as separation: physical death is the separation of the soul from the body, and spiritual death is the separation of the soul from God.
Death is the result of sin. “For the wages of sin is death,” Romans 6:23a. The whole world is subject to death, because all have sinned. “By one man sin entered the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). In Genesis 2:17, the Lord warned Adam that the penalty for disobedience would be death—“thou shalt surely die.” When Adam disobeyed, he experienced immediate spiritual death, which caused him to hide “from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8). Later, Adam experienced physical death (Genesis 5:5).
On the cross, Jesus also experienced both spiritual death (when He cried “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46), and physical death (Matthew 27:50). The difference is, Adam died because he was a sinner, and Jesus, who had never sinned, chose to die as a substitute for sinners (Hebrews 2:9).
Jesus then showed His power over death and sin by rising from the dead on the third day (Matthew 28; Revelation 1:18). Because of Christ, death is a defeated foe. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55; Hosea 13:14).
For the unsaved, death brings to an end the chance to accept God’s gracious offer of salvation. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
For the saved, death ushers us into the presence of Christ. “To be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23). So real is the promise of the believer’s resurrection, that the physical death of a Christian is called “sleep” (1 Corinthians 15:51; 1 Thessalonians 5:10). We look forward to that time when “there shall be no more death” (Revelation 21:4).
So there is no "Death" if one is saved. Also remeber that In Mathew Jesus said Not to be afraid of the Man that Can Kill your Flesh, be afraid of the Man that can Kill your spirit! Good Luck, hope all that helps!

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain. Philippians 1:21.
"Oh death, whgere is your victory? Oh death, where is your sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55
Don't let anybody tell you death in itself is beautiful. Death is the ugly, horrible, disgusting result of man's sin. The beautiful thing is that death has been conquered by Christ, and anyone who truly believes in Christ doesn't die but continues to live - only his "earthly tent" goes away but the inner man is renewed (2 Corinthians 5:1-9).

YOUR Assumption that DEATH is beautiful = IS IN ERROR!
(Revelation 20:14-15) And = = death = = and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
(Rev 20:15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
DEATH CAME WHEN SIN CAME! Death will be destroyed! The Curse will be lifted and THERE WILL BE NO MORE SIN!
Thanks, RR

I hope this helps.
1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ecc 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Bah humbug. Sugar causes diabetes.
I am a Christian pastor. I've buried suicides, child deaths, agonizing cancer deaths and a good share of stuff in between. There is nothing beautiful in death except it can end suffering. Remember, this side of eternity, death remains a curse. It shall not be the ultimate victor, but we defy God when we deny its harsh reality. The beauty and comfort is in Jesus, not death.

2 Corinthians 4:16-5:10
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven; inasmuch as we, having put it on, shall not be found naked. For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, in order that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge. Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord-for we walk by faith, not by sight-we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
