Commentaries:
The Bible shows that the dead know nothing, and even their very thoughts perish when they die. In other words, all mental and physical processes cease when an individual dies. Solomon's definition of death concurs with Webster's Dictionary: "a permanent cessation of all vital functions: the end of life."
Earl L. Henn (1934-1997)
Basic Doctrines: The Fate of the Wicked
Since the Bible states plainly that the dead are not conscious of anything, we can logically conclude that man is not born with an immortal soul that is conscious and aware of things happening around it after death!
