The spirit returns to God, but without consciousness.
Ecclesiastes 9:4-6, 10
4 Anyone who is among the living has hope—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
5 For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even their name is forgotten.
6 Their love, their hate
and their jealousy have long since vanished;
never again will they have a part
in anything that happens under the sun.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
This is just another example of the teaching of the lds church contradicts the Bible. There are no second chances once you die. I'd rather believe the Bible than the false teachings of your church.
I believe in the Bible, it also states this:
(Old Testament | Ecclesiastes 8:8)
8
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
(New Testament | 1 Peter 4:5 - 6)
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 For for this cause was the gospel
preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
(New Testament | Luke 23:43)
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
(New Testament | 2 Corinthians 12:2 - 4)
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (
whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth
such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth
4
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
(New Testament | Luke 16:22 - 24)
22 And it came to pass, that
the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the
rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
