More Fun With the Bible
Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living know that they are to die, but the dead no longer know anything. There is no further recompense for them, because all memory of them is lost.
Translation, when you die you loose consciousness. The spirit in man has no consciousness apart from the physical human brain. Man doesn't have an immortal soul according to the bible. He has a spirit in him that Jesus can resurrect, but not an immortal soul that contains all his thoughts and hopes and dreams.
Psalm 146:4
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
The bible is showing that death is like sleep.
Daniel 12:2
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.
The resurrection wakes you up, and you get to have cookies and cake with Jesus.
No Immortal Soul, like the Egyptians thought existed, like the Greek philosophized, and like so many sermons and lessons have been fabricated about in bible school and in churches around the world.
There is a distinct difference between a spirit and an immortal soul.

You think Christians actually read the Bible? LOL.

but the spirit or energy from your being gets released back into the universe after you die. All living things are made up of moving particles(energy). So perhaps that's what your good Christian friends are alluding to,or mistaking for, an eternal soul.which sadly means- no cookies with Jesus
