Transcript
Most Christians today believe that everyone has an immortal soul that lives on after they die.
However, is this teaching and belief biblical? Well, the truth is that even if you go from Genesis to Revelation, you won’t find the two words “immortal” and “soul” written side by side.
On the contrary, what we read in the Bible is that souls can actually die. We read in Ezekiel 18:3-4:
3 As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. 4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.
This is also repeated in Ezekiel 18:20:
20 The soul who sins shall die.
As you can see, the biblical definition of soul refers to our body. It’s not spirit. It doesn’t roam around the earth after death.

What Paul saw was a vision. It doesn’t prove that we will go to heaven after we die.
