WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR BODY?
WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR SOUL?
WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR SPIRIT?
WHY MUST WE DIE?
Therefore, we can see that we are made up of three things, body, soul, and spirit.
 Body–
man is different than plants or animals. Plants, animals and man have a state of being, meaning that they have life, a physical body, what one would see if they looked into a mirror. Soul–
Man and animals have a consciousness, being aware of our surrounding and feelings. Spirit
–a vacant or empty room inside ones heart until he is reborn and the Holy Spirit comes there to dwell.
There are two classes of people, those that are Christians (saved), and those that are not, (sinners). Both these classes are represented in Luke 16:19-31, Lazarus and the Rich Man. This is a story not a parable, and it answers many questions about what occurs after what we refer to as death. Some answers from this story are;
1. Both the sinner and the saved dies.
2. Both have a specific place to go after their physical death.
3. The physical death does not mark the end, therefore life or state of being is eternal for both.
4. Here they could talk, feel, see, touch, thirst and had a recognizable form or body.
5. This physical body must die, for it will not withstand eternity. At the first resurrection, the one for a Christian, this physical body will have to be changed to a glorified body liken to that of Christ’s resurrected body. A spiritual body with Flesh and bone, no blood, Luke 24:39. This body will then live forever with Christ.
As for the sinner, just like the rich man, his physical body will also pass away at death. Later he will be resurrected for the judgment. After the judgment the sinner will be cast into hell–here the physical body cannot endure the flames and the physical body must die again (Therefore, the second death).
