What does the bible say happens when you die

[Linkin]

The scriptures tell you exactly what happens. Death equals ceasing to exist. We do not live apart from the body. That teaching is Greek philosophy. 

We are a living soul. Body plus the breath of God . When the breath departs we return to the dust. The breath returns to God. The breath is God's spirit nothing of ours. 

[Linkin]

The animals were  created exactly the same in Genesis. We are only alive because we have the breath of God.

There is no difference between a man and an animal in regards to what happens at death.

The only difference is that we have the Hope of the resurrection. Animals do not.

Ecclesiastes 3:18-21
I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are [**like the] animals. 19 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 [God] Who knows [*if] the human spirit [Breath] rises upward and [*if] the spirit [Breath] of the animal goes down into the earth”
***[“If” is not in the original text]
*The breath of an animal goes down into the earth because unlike people animals have no hope in the resurrection, only people have that hope. 

It is poorly translated in most texts. But these are not questions posed by Solomon the wisest man to ever live.

**Like the is added by translators, it is not in the original text.

[Dan Knight]

The first lie ever told a human being is that "you shall Not surely die ". And what do they teach us from the pulpits today? That when we depart this existence we shall either go to heaven and live forever or to hell and live forever  but "you shall Not surely die ".  The ONLY  way to be delivered from this penalty,  which is the second death, is by accepting the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sin and believe that  He has resurrected to life eternal and will, not might, resurrect us at the appointed time. 

[Dan Knight]

The built in  ability to return to non existence is what separates us from angels. It's why they cannot be saved. Because they cannot die. They were created by God to be eternal beings and if God destroyed them He would have broken his word. God cannot lie.

Correct spelling.

[Dan Knight]

One of the most powerful tools given mankind is Choice. God offers each individual human salvation. That of itself does not garrentee. As an individual, not a club member, I must accept His offer. His offer. There is no other way, He is The Way.

[Linkin]

No one is immortal except God,  [1 Tim. 6:16] He continuously supplies life and breath to all living creatures Job 12:10

[Dan Knight]

They are because He cannot lie. Not of themselves.  I  like the way you put it. " He continually..."

What is your scripture for angels being eternal beings?

[Linkin]

If God alone is immortal and he supplies all living things with life[ even our master Jesus], that leaves no room for angels being eternal beings. 

All life is dependent on The Father YHVH [All Sufficient One] Who does not require anything outside of Himself for life.

Hmmmm...I am 64 years old, and was taught that as an early teen in a church that kept the weekly Sabbath and the festivals from Passover to Atonement.  I am going to have to go back into studies to find out why I believe that.
