Dying Spiritually

He did not need a savior before that fact? This is quite amazing you would even think this. because it certainly did not come from the bible

He had never sinned. so would not suffer the consequences of that sin and again, You have not shown me what occurred between the first group and second group.

Its not hard. even if we disagree with what you think happened and what I think happened. at least answer

Again, if you read what I have been saying, you would see my defenition of spiritual death vs spiritual life. it appears you still are going off what you have been told. and not listening to me at all

This is offensive, and I take great offence. especially since I told you this is not what I am doing

again, this shows you are just trying to argue against ISMS, and not what the word says or what I am saying

This again just shows you have not listened to a word I have been saying.

and lets be clear. I could say the same thing to you.. about getting your view from listening to men. whoever those men may be
I never said he did not need a Savior before the fact. The fact he sinned proved otherwise.
I also never said that Adam would die before he disobeyed God.

Sin produces death (James 1).

BUT where does the Bible say sin comes from? It comes from when we are tempted by the desires of the flesh and lust conceived sin, which produces death (again, James 1).

Now, IF Adam was not created with the desires of the flesh and IF Adam had a nature that would not give in to temptation THEN you might have a point.


But here we need to go to the Bible, ignore the "what if's", theories and philosophical wondering and simply see what each of us reads in Scripture that brings us to our belief.


I am kinda stuck on God's definition of spiritual life (life in the Spirit). I have given you those passages already.

What verses are you using to define spiritual life?

Thanks for explicitly stating why you accept the possible meaning consistent with your doctrine, rather than the meaning consistent with the context.

We are not to fear the one who cannot kill the soul but we are to fear the one who can kill the soul. That is the contextual meaning! The second death does not mean the second non-death.

I'm very surprised that you believe that, Van. I would have never guessed that from your past posts!

I am sure your beliefs are important to you, however others believe what the word of God says is more important. God can destroy, ending the existence of human soul/spirits, in Gehenna, Matthew 10:28. To believe God is not "all-powerful" and cannot end the existence of his creation is not something I would have guessed about any professing Christian.

I'm still stunned you're an Annihilationist.

I'll say the resistance you've met along the way is quite considerable.

Your claim is just another falsehood, aimed at changing the subject to me. Folks, pay no attention to those who post their conjecture as if were supported by reality. Like many Calvinists, they post against the person arguments, because they cannot support their false doctrines from scripture. Such as God cannot kill human souls. The claim is a falsehood straight from Satan.

I'm going to have to reevaluate the way I read posts from now on, knowing you're an Annihilationist.

More unsubstantiated claims from the doctrines of the deceived.

For those who care what the Bible actually says, Jesus gave himself (His life) as a ransom for all. 1 Timothy 2:6, Romans 5:8.

Yet another false claim from someone you claims God cannot kill human souls in Gehenna. This all false teachers have, pathetic efforts to change the subject with an avalanche of falsehoods.

If I engaged in the same behavior, I could post Charlie24 might be institutionalized in an asylum for the criminally insane.

The discussion would be reduced to petty bickering by children.

False teachers seek to entangle others in their own enslavement to falsehood.

Whatever you say, Van.

I see we have a string of petty personality posts, rather than discussion of the topic. Folks, the truth is found in scripture, not gossip.

Where is found in Scripture, Van?

Show it to us!

Now he wants me to teach him, after he claimed what I believe is not found in scripture. This is all they have folks, endless nonsense posts saying taint so, and Van should not say so.

If it weren't so sad, it would be funny.

God can destroy, end existence of, human souls in Gehenna, Matthew 10:28.

These folks seem very quiet nowadays, Do only you hear from them?
