You not understand that the spirit separates from the body and goes to be with the Lord - since it is the spirit that gives it life - how can the body have life without the spiritIt doesn't say that no spirit can go into heaven when we die, but we do not have spirits. We are physical only, until the resurrection. That's when we become spiritual beings.
The following prove that we return to the dust of the earth when we die, and that we will lose all consciousness.
Genesis 3:19
By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
Job 7:21
Why then do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will seek me, but I will not be."
Job 14:10:12
But man dies and lies prostrate man expires, and where is he? "As water evaporates from the sea, and a river becomes parched and dried up, so man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, he will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.
Psalm 115:17
The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
Psalm 146:4
When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.
Ecclesiastes 3:19-20
For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.
Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing
Those verses speak of the body of a person
