You - not the person that you have become - can never die.

The person is perceivable, not by but through, the senses. And yet, the person, considered as the body, is as much of a mirage as is the body.

So, what is it to die? Do you feel that this question is directed at you or at the person?

What is it that dies? You, or the person with a name and a body?

Belief makes real what is a matter of faith. If you believe you are the person, then you will vanish when the body dies.

The Bible is clear that the body and the person are real, not illusions. Genesis 2:7 shows God formed man from the dust and breathed life into him—body and spirit together. 1 Corinthians 15:42–44 explains that the body is sown perishable but raised imperishable; the resurrection shows the body matters and is not a mirage.

Any claim that the person vanishes when the body dies contradicts these passages. Scripture presents humanity as both physical and spiritual, and it is God who made this reality. Treating existence itself as an illusion conflicts with the clear teaching of the Bible about life, death, and God’s design for humans.
