What saith the Scripture

 Romans 6:23   "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Paul writes of death 20 times in Romans alone and all in the first eight chapters:  Chapter 1:32; 5:10, 12, 14, 17, 21; 6:3, 4, 5, 9, 16, 21, 23;  7:5, 10, 13, 24; 8:2, 6 and 38.  When using the word death,  is he writing of physical or spiritual death or both at the same time?  If both at the same time would that not mean that both have the same definition?  That would be to say then that when one dies physically he also dies spiritually?  We should know that that can't be true because of Genesis 3:17.  Adam didn't die physically when he sinned but lived some 930 years more Genesis 5:5  So I ascertain that it was an immediate spiritual death and the physical came sometime later.  Also to consider, there is a second death [Revelation 20:14].  To have a second death it stands to reason that there is a first death, that is what Genesis 3:17 is referring to.

2 Timothy 3:1-9 {Authorized King James version}   "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." I hear those who whine and complain about current events.  Those that do are ignorant of God's Word and what is written there.  "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared  with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18.  How else would God bring in the Kingdom of heaven?  First, the church will be removed, 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.  After the church is removed "that man of s

 Concerning the question that was asked several weeks back, I have this to add.   Genesis 2:17  "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."  Did Adam die that day that he ate thereof? 1 Corinthians 15:22  "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."  Being "in Christ" is the how-to of that verse. 1 Corinthians 15:39-41  "All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of  flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and  another of birds.  There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is  one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.  There is one glory of the star in glory"   Hebrews 11:5   "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death: and was not found because God translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he plea

Last week asked a simple question.  Did Christ die both Spiritually and Physically or just Physically?  Not to my dismay, I didn't receive on response.   Course I didn't really expect one, so no disappointment.  But the question still stands.  Did however receive a reply to an email submitted to a reliable source that I have listened to for about 2 years.  The source referenced Romans 5:5-10 and 6:10.   I would then bring to light the scripture 2 Corinthians 5:21, and context with the whole of the text 2 Corinthians 5:11-21.  It reads "made him to be sin"  notice the italics are not scripture in the truest sense and without the italics reads "made him sin" or God made Christ sin in my place when I believe the gospel, Paul's gospel.  Christ made sin so that God could judge and condemn sin in the flesh, the flesh of Christ, and being made the likeness of men [Phil 2:6-11] died both spiritually when God turned His back [why hast thou forsaken me?] and physi
