The Bible teaches that death is the opposite of life. At Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, we read: “for the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten … Whatever your hands finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grace, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” This scripture proves that the dead are unable to feel anything.

The Prophet Ezekiel also commented about death when he said in Ezekiel 18: 4,20: “For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son – both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die … The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.”
