Below is provided, a bit of longish and belletristic, but entirely Biblical and philosophical insight with helpful examples to prove and demonstrate that soul, that is to say, the inner core of our personality, survives the death of body and is alive and conscious in the afterlife state, moreover that both Biblically and philosophically the claim that a person and his soul co-perish with his body cannot stand.

Not only the Holy Scriptures, but also so many cultures have this deep and correct insight of soul being more principal than body and of soul's survival of body. But modern Western civilization has forgotten both the eternity and soul, even God has become redundant for the West and this materialistic climate influences with its poisonous breath also the Biblical hermeneutics practiced at this site so pervasively.

Closest to God in us are not bodily perceptions, pleasures and pains, neither sense of beauty, i.e. aesthetic perceptions, but understanding of what is good and what is evil. We do not do that by body, but by something else in us, which we can call alternatively, "soul", "spirit", "mind", "intellect", "the inner core our our personality", "the inner man", "the conscience". And it is invisible, not visible or tangible. One can ask, can it or does it feel pain? Yes, of course, but not a bodily one, but incomparably, other-dimensionally more painful pain.
