In John 11:11-14 Jesus compares death to A sleep, in 1 Thess.4:15-18 Those asleep in Jesus rise at his coming, in John 5:28-29 Jesus talks of Two and only two resurrections, In Gen.2:7 God created mankind out of the dust of the ground and he "BECAME" A Living Soul its not something God pokes in you, it is what you become and when one dies the spirit of God [breath Job 27:3] returns to God who gave it.
In Eccl.12:7, 9:5, The Dead know not anything at all. in Psalms 146: 3-4 When the breath or spirit returns to God the thoughts perish, In Romans 2:7 We seek for immortality. The Bible uses the word soul 1600 times but NEVER immortal soul, not once.
1 Cor.15:51-54 ONLY when Jesus returns do we recieve immortality [if we have met the conditions upon which it is offered].
Psalms 115:17 The dead do not praise God
