The Bible is very clear about the state of the dead. We must first establish the facts about the nature of man. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever, Amen. God is the only One who has immortality. Only God has this power of immortal existence.
Man is described as being mortal, or subject to death.
Some people believe that the above texts refer to the body and that the soul is immortal, and that the soul itself cannot die. This next text will forever clear up this misunderstanding. This text says that the soul is subject to death. Nowhere in the Bible is the doctrine taught that the soul is immortal. We can start at the beginning of the Bible and find out very soon who is responsible for this lie.
