I think the dead are 'alive' in spirit form. Since I believe we have souls, then the souls must go somewhere after our physcial bodies die. I believe we will see them again.
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.
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 body without the spirit ["breath," ] 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
I hope this has answered a few of your questions or doubts.All that I have written here comes write from
GODS inspired word,The BIBLE.If you don't believe in the Bible ,then that is your perogative.But if you do believe,may the Holy Spirit be with you as you study these facts for youself.Thank you all for your opinions,and
May God Bless You All.
