Where does the Bible say that? It doesn't. It clearly speaks of no afterlife for the unsaved whatsoever.
The soul is spirtually dead if it lacks faith.





Souls are eternal.
The idiom “immortality of the soul” is a subjective term whose definition can vary with, and within those individuals of either philosophical or religious circles; and is earmarked with that in the paranormal realms.


According to some religious beliefs, the soul is immortal and lives on after death to await the judgment of God; this in religious terms is called “somatic death”.


The Bible gives a very different explanation, showing the soul as mortal, not immortal.


I Corinthians 15:50


Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.





Whatever spiritual body we are raised up with at His {Christ’s} return will not be with the soul life we possessed here on earth.





If you follow the scriptures and the Hebrew words used to define soul, its conclusion, according to the Bible, will show that there is no immortality to the soul.








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~…





Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. {Nepesh chai}





Soul is what gives the body life, our breath life.


The natural man {the five senses man} is comprised of “body” and “soul”. The spiritual man who is born again is comprised of “body” “soul” and “spirit”





Both men, as well as animals, have soul life.





Genesis 1





:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.


:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is “life”, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.





The words “life” in these two verses, is the Hebrew word nepesh = soul





:21 And God created great whales, and every “living creature” that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good


:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the ”living creature” after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.


Genesis 2:19


And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every “living creature”, that was the name thereof.





The word “creature”is the Hebrew word nepesh = soul


The word “living” is the Hebrew word “chai” meaning “moving soul” or “moving life”. Nepesh chai is always used as living life or living soul.











~~~~~~~~~~~~Where is the soul?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





As Leviticus 17:11 states “the life of the flesh is in the blood”...





The word “life” in Leviticus 17:11 is the same word for soul {nepesh}


What happens when we die? The heart, which pumps the blood, which delivers the oxygen to the brain …… stops….. soul life ceases.


Going back to basic Biology: Oxygen is delivered throughout the body by means of the red blood cells ….actually it is the hemoglobin molecules from the red cells that deliver the oxygen to the individual cells in the body tissue. The bloodstream also picks up CO2 from the body and returns it to the lunges to be exhaled.


The life of the soul {flesh} is in the blood …….





Therefore Genesis 2:7 where God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. makes perfect sense as a figure of speech.








Neither does soul give reference to a believer, as Acts states.


Acts 27:37 “And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls”.


With the exception of Paul and Luke, the rest of the people on board this ship were unbelievers; so soul cannot be making reference to one who is a Christian








The immortality of the soul does not exist according to biblical terminology, it only exists only as an idiom within Philosophy, and an unsubstantiated false belief with some Christians.


There is no immortality, or transmigration of the soul. Soul simply means alive people; that which gives life to the body. When one dies…….. ceases to exist………. takes his last breath………..kicks the bucket…………. the soul itself being breath life, also ceases.





It is spirit which lives on
