What is the condition of the dead?
Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”
Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”
John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3)

YES you are correct, so there is no need to fear and worship the dead. It also means your dead loved ones will not suffer in hell like people believe or go to heaven. they just cease to exist.
Your dead loved ones will not also suffer because they have unfinished business in this world they simply rest in peace...in short no ghosts, immortal souls, reincarnation, purgatory and stuff like that

the undertaking is we don't be responsive to for valuable if Jesus refered to gehenna as a image of everlasting destruction or a place of torment. If he refered to gehenna as a place of torment for sinners while they died then perhaps that why the bible translators got here up with the word hell. Now once you precise learn the bible, hell does not seem to make experience. For a mutually as now I even have began to lose thought in hell yet now i'm initiating to have self assurance in it. the reason being using the fact I even have researched on persons that have died and are available back to existence and that they are so confident that they have seen heaven and hell. bypass on youtube and analyze a guy named earthquake Kelly and Mickey Robinson. generally you are able to tell if somebody is mendacity yet after listening to what those people had to assert approximately it, i replaced into confident they have been telling the certainty. Mickey Robinson talks approximately his spirit leaving his physique and people seem to record the comparable element, like interior the spirit realm there is an entire absense of time. they say you basically be responsive to eternity and that your thoughts are greater and hues are brighter. If our spirit does not stay to tell the tale as quickly as we die, then how do you clarify those people reports?

I don't really know myself.
I am going to find out like everyone else.
It is something that I can not comment on.
Your references are correct and come from the Bible.
Most of the reverences are from the old testament, only one from the new.
There is a connotation that death is like sleep. But you do dream when you sleep.

We can argue this time cows come home, but Christians will tell you that they are sleeping until Jesus wakes them up!

There was no resurrection of the dead until Christ was risen. Until then, dead people were asleep.

ecclesiastes 10:19
Bread is made for laughter,
and wine gladdens life,
and money answers everything
So I say here is to life, live it while you have it, there is nothing after. treat your children well.
