the soul is gone when that person dies...There is nothing immortal about the soul.
(1) "...Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour....And it came to pass,
as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name
Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. And Rachel died, and
was buried..." (Genesis 35:16-19)

"And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,
and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."

(3) Before Jesus' Resurrection: He and the repentant thief, dying on crosses:
"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into
Thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day
Shalt thou Be With Me in paradise." (Luke 23:42-43)
Their souls departed in death, Correct?(4) After JESUS Resurrection (Soul Returned From paradise, And Re-united
With His Body), And His Precious BLOOD "Opened Up HEAVEN!":
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls
of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which
they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, Holy
and True, dost Thou not Judge and Avenge our blood on them that dwell
on the earth?" (Revelation 6:9-10)
Conscious, With their memories, present with The LORD JESUS CHRIST, Correct?
(5) Past and future, so, In the PRESENT Day, where do "members" of The
Body Of CHRIST go, When our souls depart in death? From Paul, our apostle:
"Now He that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, Who
Also Hath Given unto us The Earnest of The Spirit. Therefore we are
always Confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body,
we are absent from The LORD: ( For we walk by faith, not by sight: )
We are Confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body,
and to be present With The LORD!" (2 Corinthians 5:5-8)
