According to the holy scriptures, the exixtence of human beings is based on body, soul and spirit. We are able to carry out every activity on this so long as these three co-exist. When death emerges, the body goes into the earth from where it was taken: the spirit -part of God -goes to God who gave it: and the the permanent part- the thinking part is in God's keeping for final place of eternity. We are wonderfully made.
