Still a popular teaching, this concept finds no support in the Bible, which states: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all. ” ​ — Ecclesiastes 9: 5.
Bībelē ir teikts: ” Dzīvie vismaz vēl zina, ka viņiem ir jāmirst, nomirušie turpretī vispār nezina vairāk nekā. ” ( Salamans Mācītājs 9: 5.)
