Can a soul survive without a body? Not biblically. So you too show me where in the Bible a soul can be without the body? I have a forum about death on this very subject and what the Bible has to say about it.
Yes, it can. Not only can it, but it feels MUCH better and "alive" (and free) without the flesh weighing down on it, once it is freed from the body (tabernacle, that it has to carry about and is limited by and kept on the ground with - it's prison cell).
Solomon 9:15. For the corruptible body presseth down the soul (Being), and the earthy tabernacle (human) weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.
2 Corinthians
5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle (body) were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
5:4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle (human body) do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up by Life.
5:5 Now He that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, Who also hath given unto us the zeal of the Spirit.
5:6 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we [the Being] feel at home IN the body, we are absent from the Lord:
5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight: )
5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be OUT OF the body, and to be present with the Lord.
5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether in [the body] or out [of the body], we may be accepted by Him.
5:10 For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may receive the (recompense for) things [done whilst] IN [his] body, according to that he hath DONE, whether [it be] good or bad.
12:2 I knew a man in Christ over fourteen years ago, (whether IN the body, I cannot tell; or whether OUT OF the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; ) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
12:3 And I knew such a man, (whether IN the body, or OUT of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; )
12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not possible for a man to utter.
