Answer

The Bible states clearly; The dead don’t know anything. They don't have any feelings, emotions or thoughts. They're not up in Heaven praising the Lord. They simply go into a silent sleep.

Job 7:9 says, "he that goes down to the grave shall come up no more." Psalms 6:5 says "For in death there is no remembrance…" Job 14:10-12 says, "Man dies, and where is he? man lies down, and rises not till the heavens be no more… " Is 38:18 says, "For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee." In verse 19 it says, "The living, the living, he shall praise thee." Psa 146:4 says, "He returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."
