It is a lie repeated every day at funerals by most of the clergy, the same lie told to Eve by Satan, through the serpent, in the Garden of Eden. In this lesson we will study the subject of what happen when a person dies. The New King James says, spirit, which is the breath of life from God. The spirit or another way of saying it is, the spark of life, or the breath of life came from God and it goes back to God who gave it. The Bible is very clear that when a person dies he does not go on living in a different form.
Death is called sleep sixty-three times in the Bible.
Lazarus was dead four days when Jesus called him from the grave. These are very comforting words for those who have been parted by death. This thought is very clear in every version, but the Living Bible is especially clear. I want to be ready for the coming of Christ.
