Right now, I pray the lord my God will guide me on this.
I'm 22 and I've thought about this a lot. I think it's simpler than what is expected. According to Genesis 2:7, "The Lord formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
If we look at basic organic decomposition, everything returns into the earth. The ground, the dirt, correct? So, our physical body returns to dust. That doesn't necessarily mean it happens instantaneously. It is a process that is perfect and effective.
Now this is interesting. Man had no soul until God breathed into mans' nostrils with the breath of life. Now we know that dust returns to dust. The flesh inherently is a part of the earth because God has made it that way. So, if our soul began with Gods' breath, that means our soul belongs to God.
That's how Gods' systems work. Where it begins is also where it shall end. That is with God. Evidence to this is in Revelation 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
From the first book to the last book of the Bible. It clearly shows that God is the beginning and end. He gives man his soul, and the soul of man will return to God. Even when the flesh has passed. The judgement will be a complete look into what the man has done with his life, and how it has shaped his soul. Your soul belongs to God. He gave man his soul, and in the end, he will Judge it.
