On the contrary, that was the view of the Hebrews. Genesis 2:7 confirms.
It doesn't confirm your position at all.
The extrabiblical writings of the Jews as well as writings about them shows, proof positive, that they believed in an afterlife and that souls waited there, consciously, to await their Savior (Who has come, gone, and will come again). Furthermore, the Septuagint, which is a JEWISH translation of the Hebrew OT, translated sheol as hades. They would have not done that if they didn't share a similar belief.
Jew's didn't believe Jesus was the Messiah, and many an "early Christian" were wrong about a lot of things. How many of whoever believe whatever doesn't make it right.
See the above.
The Septuagint proves you wrong.
Jesus says otherwise.
God the Holy Spirit has inspired otherwise.
Soul death/sleep = not an acceptable or historic Christian belief. Never has. It is based on an unhistorical, made-up anti-Greco/Roman bent as well as psuedohistory of the 18th and 19th centuries.
