Nice thread

Wow

Steep:
The context of Ecclesiastes is from the context of "life under the Sun".

When man dies he has no portion on things done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

For example he said man has no prominence over beast but the context he is speaking is death.

Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.


Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

According to ecc 9:5 the dead have no more reward, does that mean Abraham, Noah, Abel etc have no reward? No, this is only refering to participating in things on earth because that is the context of the preacher in the first place.

Oga so where does the Bible say that a conscious spirit survives the death of a man and continues living elsewhere with the thought of the man?
How do you explain Psalms 146:4?

1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
The spirit capable of knowledge and resides in man

Oga does the spirit survives death and continues being conscious?
Below is Psalms 146:4 in the screenshot below.
King Solomon in Ecclesiastics 3:19 says man and beast die the same way......was he wrong?

The word "spirit" cab be used in different context it can be just the breath of life which both man and animals possesses, it can be the invisible part of man capable of knowledge and emotions or it can be used to describe angels and God.

Show me a verse that talks of spirit as the invisible conscious part of man that survives death?

Below is Psalms 146:4....which other spirit does that verse say is conscious and that survives the death of a man?

So where does the Bible teach that death means cessation?
Where did God's word say nothing survives death?
The knowledge and wisdom they do not possess is the one that enable them to do work as Ecclesiastes stated.

In fact Ecclesiastes said the spirit returns to God who gave it,

Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

According to his verse the spirit does not cease to exist but rather returns to God.

Jesus committed his Spirit to God.

Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Stephen prayed the Lord Jesus to recieve his spirit.

Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

The rich man found himself in hell (God cast him there)

Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

After death judgment.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

All these have shown that the Spirit actually survives physical death however the spiritual death is different.

Where did King Solomon say that the spirit continues consciousness?

Do Animals spirit also continue consciousness after death since they have the same spirit as man according to Solomon in Ecclesiastics 3:19 as shown in the screenshot below?

Ken4Christ:
Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth.

Animals don't have spirits.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

The souls of the dead are conscious.

Jonah was dead in the belly of the fish for 3 days but his soul was conscious of what happened in the other realm as narrated in Jonah 2.

The Rich man who despised Lazarus was not only conscious, he also remembered he had 5 brothers still on earth.

Jesus was dead for 3 days but his soul was conscious. He even preached to those in chains according to the record of Peter. Apostle Paul said Jesus descended into the lowest part of the earth which is hell. And he defeated Satan there and collected the keys of hell and death from him.

According to different versions of Psalm 146:4 below in the screenshot, what is the 'spirit' that departs when a man dies? Does Psalms 146:4 says that a man continues to be conscious after death?


According to Genesis 7:22 in the screenshot below, do animals also have 'Spirit of life' in them?
Was Moses also lying that Animals have spirits?

Where was the consciousness of soul after death mentioned in those two verses?
