The actual question was;
"What happens to your soul/spirit when you die?"
I've seen a lot of people tell there opinion, but I have seen no one give any scripture that actually answers this specific question.
So without any futher ado, here is what the Bible says.....
When one dies, the breath of life, (spirit), returns to where it came from; the hand of God.
Psa. 31:5 Into thine HAND I commit my SPIRIT: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
Ecc. 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and THE SPIRIT SHALL RETURN UNTO GOD who gave it.
Job 12:10 IN WHOSE HAND [is] THE SOUL OF EVERY LIVING THING, AND THE BREATH OF ALL MANKIND.
Dan. 5:23 ...and the God in whose HAND thy BREATH[is], and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Luk 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy HANDS I commend my SPIRIT: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
The body dies and decays and eventually turns to dust, but the soul/spirit/breath of all mankind returns to the hand of God until the day of their resurrection.
Remember, what is in the HAND of God, the Breath of Life.
Isa 66:14 And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and YOUR BONES SHALL FLOURISH like an herb: and THE HAND of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and [his] indignation toward his enemies.
Eze. 37:6 And I WILL LAY SINEWS upon you, and will BRING UP FLESH upon you, and COVER YOU WITH SKIN, and put BREATH in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
As you can see this resurrection verse in Ezekiel shows the body is formed FIRST, then the breath(spirit) is returned, and only then are they called alive.
This is the same order we saw in creation. (Gen. 2:7).
There is a major misconception in the world of Christianity, many believe that when a person dies they go straight to heaven or hell.
This is not what the Bible teaches at all.
If this were true, it would be pointless to have a day of judgment,
and a resurrection.
How are these people able to go to heaven or hell, when
they have not experienced the judgment day?
1Jo 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT: because as he is, so are we in this world.
What state is the breath/soul/spirit of mankind in while they are in the hand of God? Again let us use the Bible to show us.....
The dead simply sleep until the resurrection.
