Ezekiel 18:20-32 clearly says "the soul that sinneth, it shall die ('''מות''' ''mooth'')" and also says that iniquity is "ruin" ('''מכשול''' ''mikshowl''), not annihilation.

In the New Testament, the [[Prodigal Son]] was dead and lost when he departed and was absent and away from his father and brother, "For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found." [http://biblehub.com/commentaries/luke/15-24.htm Luke 15:24]. The rich man who died and saw the dead Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham and spoke to Abraham was not annihilated, and he was still conscious as he suffered torment in the flame of hell ([http://biblehub.com/commentaries/luke/16-23.htm Luke 16:23]) "for I am in anguish in this flame" (Luke 16:24). The following verses illustrate the biblical meaning of a dead soul.
