Are the Dead Alive Now?

Genesis 2:7:
And the Lord God formed man 
of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 3:19:
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Psalms 6:5:
For in death 
there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Psalms 49:17:
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

Psalms 115:17:
The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.

Psalms 146:4:
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Ecclesiastes 3:20:
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10:
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any 
thing that is done under the sun.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do 
it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Ecclesiastes 12:7:
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

I Corinthians 15:52:
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

I Thessalonians 4:16,17:
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive 
and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
