---“the Bible teaches that the human being is a soul (Gen. 2:7), and the soul ceases to exist when the body dies (Ezek. 18:4, 20).”

---The Bible does not conflict itself. There is no discrepancy. So what happen when the Bible says the Hebrew word returns to God Who gave it?

--What Hebrew Word? “Breath” it is translated.

---Just as Moses indicated in Genesis 2:7 and a number of places repeated by other Hebrew writers in the Bible, God breathed in the nostrils of the person and Adam became a living soul.

---In the Egyptian Hymn of Aton written around 1360 AD, 50 years after Moses’ death and 100 years after his composition of Genesis in Midian, line 20 it is stated “Who give breath to sustain all that he has made. When he descends from the womb to breath, on the day when he is born, you open his mouth completely”. 

---If one compares Psalm 104 with the Hymn of Aten, it seems that the Hymn of Aten was composed by someone who was familiar with the theology of Moses, existing already nearly 100 years before the Hymn of Aten.

---It appears that these ideas of Moses were collected and were plagiarized and reformulated for an Egyptian audience (in a narrow sense).

---We cannot ignore the impact that the Exodus had upon Egyptian and colonial history.

---We cannot avoid the popularity that Hebrew literature had in the aftermath of this event affecting Egypt, for example, in the Hymn of Aten.

---But the Spirit of God is indwelling in the faithful and He just take back the breath He gave at birth.

---The Spirit stays here for He is working here for us. No need of carrying anything up to heaven.

---The Spirit was also creating with the Father and Christ when Christ was Creating.

---You see His presence hovering over the waters in Genesis 1:1-2.

---So there is no entity that goes up to heaven when the person dies. That is biblically clear and solid.
