Death

What will happen if a Man Die? Where is he going? in the Purgatory?


Lets read Eccl. 9:5-6 that says,
“The living know they will die, but the dead know nothing. Dead people have no more reward, and people forget them. After people are dead, they can no longer love or hate or envy. They will never again share in what happens here on earth.”What really happens when a man dies?

“His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.”Psalms 146:6

Upon cessation of breath, the thoughts of a dying man perish; he returns to his earth, a fulfillment of what God had decreed;
“…Later you will return to the ground, because you were taken from it.
You are dust, and when you die, you will return to the dust." Gen. 3:19

What happens to the spirit of a man upon cessation of breath?
“You will turn back into the dust of the earth again, but your spirit will return to God who gave it.” Eccl. 12:7

What is the proof of the scripture that does not teach the immortality of the soul?
“For our soul is bowed down to the dust; Our body clings to the ground.”
Psalms 44:25

The soul and the body of a dead person cleave to the ground. The soul is nowhere in “purgatory”undergoing purgation!

What happens to the spirit, soul and body?
“God's word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.” Heb. 4:12

The spirit, soul and body are separated upon the advent of death. The spirit returns to God who gave it (Eccl. 12:7); the soul and body cleave to the ground.
