Where verses do refer to spirits, bodies and souls, that pattern is always the same. We have a body. This body has breath or spirit. The two together make a living soul, a living being.
Here are 2 simple illustrations of death using every- day objects. If the box is dismantled, it ceases to exist. When the power leaves the bulb, the light goes out. |

| If you put the wood and the nails together you have something useful – a box. Take it apart and there is nothing. The box does not live on somewhere else. But we could make it again. |

If you take a light bulb - the body, there is no light, but add electricity - the breath from God, and there is light - life. Switch off the electricity again and it goes out. The light does not live on somewhere else. It has gone out - but can be lit up again. This is what God can do with us in the resurrection.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Psalm 146:4.
Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. John 11:25. |
