Does Scripture say souls separate from the body at death? Are there souls in heaven now according to Scripture? According to Scripture, will souls be reunited to their bodies in the resurrection? Scripture references only, please.

To put it correctly... souls do not separate from the body at death. When comes the death, the body is left behind to decay and die and soul leaves for heaven or hell (Heaven if the residual balance of karma is positive, and hell if negative).
Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata explicitly makes clear the relationship between soul, body, death, heaven, resurrection. A soul remains in heaven or hell until the time it finds matching parents on Mother Earth. If the matching parents are available... the soul need not rest in heaven or hell... it immediately manifests a body on Mother Earth.
Rising from the dead... the art of resurrection is a flawed interpretation in Christianity. Bhagavad Gita explicitly clarifies that such a thing is never possible. Once the soul atman leaves the body... it can never return back to the same body. Accidents do happen in the cosmic domain... if a person out of injury goes into a coma and rises back to life... it does not mean resurrection in any case. In this case the soul atman had never left the body.
Lord Krishna an Avatar (God manifest in human form) came about 1500 years before Jesus Christ. His teachings of Bhagavad Gita are absolutely flawless. Based on the residual balance of karma... a soul atman that has already left the body shall manifest a new body... a new life journey! And this new body shall have no connection with the previous manifestation. More on death - http://www.godrealized.com/Death.html

Well I wager this would possibly not get fine reply considering the fact that there isn't one textual content that says that the frame and soul are seperate. There are sixty six verses that talks approximately loss of life and now not considered one of them consult with the frame and soul are seperate. In truth they are saying the certain reverse. Read Gen. two:7. Here it talks approximately how God shaped guy of the dirt. There are two factors: a clay frame and God's breath of lifestyles. Through the union of those, guy BECAME a dwelling soul. Man was once now not given a "soul" as some thing seperate from the frame, however grew to be a soul by way of the union of frame and God's breath. Body + Soul = Beath.

There is nothing mysterious about the spirit that returns to God at death. It is the breath of life.
"The body without the spirit ["breath," see margin] is dead." James 2:26. "The spirit of God ["the breath which God gave him," see margin] is in my nostrils." Job 27:3.
The spirit that returns to God at death is the breath of life. Nowhere in all of God's book does the "spirit" have any life, wisdom, or feeling after a person dies. It is the "breath of life" and nothing more.
"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.
A soul is a living being. A soul is always a combination of two things: body plus breath. A soul cannot exist unless body and breath are combined. God's Word teaches that we are souls.
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20. "Every living soul died in the sea." Revelation 16:3.
According to God's Word, souls do die! We are souls, and souls die. Man is mortal (Job 4:17). Only God is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15, 16). The concept of an undying, immortal soul goes against the Bible, which teaches that souls are subject to death.
"All that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth." John 5:28, 29. "David ... is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day." "For David is not ascended into the heavens." Acts 2:29, 34. "If I wait, the grave is mine house." Job 17:13.
People do not go either to heaven or hell at death. They go to their graves to await the resurrection day.

Dear Cathapol,
This Scripture is found in Eccleasiastes 12:6, 7 ...."Of 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.
Then shall the dust returns to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall returns unto God who gave it."
Yes there are souls in heaven at the present day. (Revelation 20:4; 1 Corithians 15:36-58).

"To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord"
To the thief on the cross, "Today, you will be with me in paradise"
Bible says after the final judgement we will get new bodies.
Look at Moses and Elijah on the mountain with Jesus. They were in spiritual bodies.
