can't be ....
Matthew 22
AMP
He (God) alone possesses immortality [absolute exemption from death] and lives in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal power
and dominion! Amen.
Earthly death is described in His Word is a dormant sleep ... those in the 1st resurrection will receive everlasting life ..... those in the 2nd resurrection will not.
All sleep in the grave until they are resurrected.
Genesis 2:7
7Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
His breath is what made him a living soul – a living creature. When we die, we stop breathing and we rest. Nowhere in the Bible does it say the soul is separate from the body.
A soul is a living creature (see Genesis 2:7 above). A soul is the combination of a body plus the breath of life. The soul cannot exist without the body or the breath.
“…the body apart from the spirit is dead” (James 2:26, ESV).
“as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit (breath) of God is in my nostrils” (Job 27:3, ESV).
1 Thessalonians 4
The Return of the Lord
13Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who
sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have
fallen asleep in Him.
15By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord
will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
1 John 3:2
English Standard Version
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that
when he appears (not before) we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
1 Corinthians 15
The Order of Resurrection
20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have
fallen asleep.
21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
23But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits;
then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
