    Hodge Twins: George Floyd body cam footage should have been released sooner

    Serious symptoms of Covid-19: Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath Chest pain or pressure Loss of speech or movement Yup. Floyd had all of those. But those are the same symptoms as having a cop kneel on your neck, so it’s hard to say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I think you are right that "spiritual death" usually refers to a "separation from God".in Christian-ese. But why do we think we need a term for "separation from God"? If you look at places like "GotAnswers", this is what you see. You can see that the reason they feel it necessary is because Adam...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I addressed the "let the dead bury the dead" comment previously, but I don't remember if in this thread-maybe in a post to @Reformed. This was said to a man that was about to walk away from Jesus, possibly to go home to wait for his father to die (the text doesn't say the father was already...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I need you to provide a reference or two for this, so we can discuss it, if you’re willing. You are assuming the counterpoint to my point—maybe not without good reason, but I’m having trouble getting past some of your assumptions. I don’t think any scriptures say “alive in a spiritual sense”, or...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I brought “soul” into the discussion because that’s the usual focus when discussing our immortality without a body. But “spirit” is usually included in some way, either as a separate part or the same part, but it also not dying. Such discussion of the immortal soul often accompanies that of...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    This is a continuation of my last post, as I reached the 10000 word limit somehow. :) All of the synonyms support the idea of something that should be or has been alive or functioning, but isn't now. A rock is not something that has been or should be alive or executing a function. Both are good...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    You can see the conflict in your wording. You can't be "reborn" if you weren't born the first time. I think you're talking about a rebirth in the spirit as opposed to the flesh's original birth. But if we are not yet born spiritually, then does Paul's reference to being dead in our trespasses...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I saw your request for definitions. That's so important, imo. Your passage says the "mind" set on flesh or the "mind" set on Spirit. Isn't one's "mind" the same as one's "spirit"? I think it is. So in essence, your passage can be read "for the spirit set on the flesh is death, but the spirit...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I’d appreciate references for such verses, if you could. One very probable interpretation of such sentiments is that we can’t gain salvation by striving in the flesh—we need the Spirit’s mindset. But what is the Spirit’s mindset? How about love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, etc...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    Ok, I get what you’re saying. The question was one I expected others to ask, so I answered it up front. If death is almost exclusively talking about physical death, and yet Paul is talking about being dead while still physically alive ( the argument I’m asking you to consider), how does it make...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I’m a little confused by your statement. How can the two not have anything to do with each other? I dealt with Paul’s statement, specifically, and my dealing is equally valid for either usage, as far as I can tell. Are you saying Paul was NOT talking about spiritual death? Ok, then, you...

    Does the Bible teach Spiritual Death?

    I'd like to offer another way to look at this topic, and a possible argument against "spiritual death" as a thing. If Adam died "in the day" he ate of the fruit of the tree, it doesn't constrain the death to have occurred within 24 hours of the eating. "In the day" can mean "in the timeframe"...

    What Happened "On That Day"? Genesis 2:17

    YES! That's exactly what that means. All have sinned, all have been blotted out, or at least WILL be, except for the saving grace of Jesus. God's book of life is exactly that--those who are alive and will remain so. Those who are dead, or are going to die, are not in the book of life. Ex...

    What Happened "On That Day"? Genesis 2:17

    It says a fair amount about it, including DEFINING it. But scriptures say NOTHING about demons being joined to humans as comprising the resurrection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dr. Fauci recommends wearing goggles to prevent catching the coronavirus

    There were two women doctors I heard about. One was a pastor and doctor, and they found sermons she had preached about demons and how they can affect you in your dreams. I was referring to the other one, who gave a reasoned plea for hydroxychloroquine usage and how it is so safe that it is an...

    What Happened "On That Day"? Genesis 2:17

    I must admit, and admire, Tim, that you write plenty of stuff. But you’re all over the place doctrinally, writing things that have little or no support in scripture. For instance, scripture gives no evidence for what you said about The soul being joined with a demon.

    What Happened "On That Day"? Genesis 2:17

    I don’t know if a demon can die, but a demon is not physical, and only physical things die as far as I can tell. The lake of fire IS the second death; it isn’t just the CAUSE OF the second death. Unbelievers are resurrected (meaning their bodies are living again) before they are thrown into the...
