Principal Point of Faith #3:
The Nature of Man
4. What happens to people when they die?
(a) They stop breathing, and all body functions stop. Dead people
are not able to think, or do anything, or feel anything. They are
unaware of their surroundings or of the passing of time. They are
unconscious, as if in a deep dreamless sleep.
(b) The Bible says we are like animals when we die.
“Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on
them; The upright shall have dominion over them” (Ps. 49:14).
“… what happens to the sons of men also happens to
animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other.
Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals,
for all is vanity.” (Eccl. 3:19).
“For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave
who will give You thank?” (Ps. 6:5).
