The soul die?

Question

Ezekiel 18:4 " Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul that is sinning—it itself will die. "

Answer 1

The Hebrew word translated “soul” is ne′phesh, and it occurs 754 times in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament). What does ne′phesh mean? According to The Dictionary of Bible and Religion, it “usually refers to the entire living being, to the whole individual.”

For example, Genesis 2:7 states: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” Note that Adam did not have a soul; he was a soul—just as someone who becomes a doctor is a doctor. The word “soul,” then, can describe a whole person.

This understanding is supported throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, where we find such phrases as “in case a soul sins” (Leviticus 5:1), “any soul that will do any sort of work” (Leviticus 23:30), “in case a man is found kidnapping a soul” (Deuteronomy 24:7), “his soul got to be impatient” (Judges 16:16), “how long will you men keep irritating my soul?” (Job 19:2), and “my soul has been sleepless from grief.”—Psalm 119:28.

There is no indication in these passages that the soul is some shadowy entity that lives on after death.

The word translated “soul” more than a hundred times in the Christian Greek Scriptures (commonly called the New Testament) is psy·khe′. Like ne′phesh, this word often refers to a whole person. For example, consider the following statements: “My soul is troubled.” (John 12:27) “Fear began to fall upon every soul.” (Acts 2:43) “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities.” (Romans 13:1) “Speak consolingly to the depressed souls.” (1 Thessalonians 5:14) “A few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.”—1 Peter 3:20.

Psy·khe′, like ne′phesh, clearly refers to the whole person.

In the Bible the word “soul” applies not only to humans but also to animals. For example, in describing the creation of sea creatures, Genesis 1:20 says that God commanded: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls.” And on the next creative day, God said: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.” (Genesis 1:24; compare Numbers 31:28.) Hence, “soul” can refer to a living creature, whether human or animal.

So, what is the remedy for death?
The Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.

Clearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.
The Apostle paul wrote “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15.
So the hope for everyone who has died is the resurrection.

When will the resurrection happen?
Aside from identifying certain world developments, (Matthew 24) the Bible foretold that the "last days" would be marked by a change in human society. The apostle Paul described what people in general would be like. At 2 Timothy 3:1-5, we read: “In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.”

Like a run-down building that has been badly vandalized by uncaring tenants, the present world system is fit for only one thing—demolition and replacement. God promises to bring to their end both wickedness and those who cause it. At the same time, he will protect those who serve him, for the Bible says: “The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.” (1 John 2:17) What a change that will be! The end of the world will not mean the end of our earth. Rather, as happened at the worldwide flood in Noah’s day, it will mean the end only of bad people and their way of living. But those who are serving God will survive the end. Then, on an earth made clean, they will see ALL the dead in Gods memory bought back to life in the resurrection.—Matthew 24:3, 37-39; Proverbs 2:21, 22; John 5:28-29: Revelation 21:1-5.

Answer 2

somewhat genuine. ' Anomaly ' explains all of it right. merely one little element to function,as we are all sinners all of us die. Jesus did no longer say we may be loose from sin in our lifetime, if this have been so we might no longer die "for the wages sin will pay is dying", so if we've been freed from sin we might stay continuously. Romans 6:23. The immortality of the soul is a pagan thought, hijacked by skill of devil and occurred as a Christian coaching

Answer 3

That is what God told Adam and Eve. You will return to the dust.
John 5:28 says that during judgement day there is going to be a resurrection of those who were good and those who never had an opportunity to hear the truth from the bible.
Then be judged by what they do after that.

Answer 4

All I have to say is this:
Thank you Jehovah
for your truth!
Amen.


Ps 146:3,4
Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,
Nor in the son of earthling man,
to whom no salvation belongs.
4His spirit goes out,
he goes back to the ground;
In that day his thoughts do perish.


this is 4 the gentleman that brought this up:
Matt 10:28--
and do not become fearful of those who kill the body
but cannot kill the soul;
but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both
soul and body in Gehenna

Answer 5

It has to be able to die. There is a passage in the scriptures that says something to the extent of fearing the one that can kill the body and the soul, referring to God.

Answer 6

In other words, when you die, your soul dies too.

Answer 7

will die in the sense that it will suffer eternal torments
