(God formed Adam out of the earth, but was not alive until God breathed life into him)
And the SERPENT SAID unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Genesis 3:4
(Satan deceived Eve into believing that she could become immortal. Since Eve died, we know this is not true)
So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; Job 14:12, 21
(When someone dies they are unaware that anything is going on around them)
...thou takes away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Psalm 104:29
(The reverse of creation is death. When God withdraws His breath of life, man then returns to the dust from which he was originally formed)
His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Psalm 146:4
(Once a person dies, they are unable to think or do anything else because the breath of life has returned to God)
For the living know that they shall die; BUT THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING,...there is no work, no device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where thou goes. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10
