Using words and phrases that are extra-Biblical, introduces ideas that are not in the Word of God. There is no "spiritual death" - the spirit of man in every person makes every person "spiritual." The body without the spirit is dead (James). To be "spiritually dead" the person has to be physically dead as well. The old humanity died with Christ -- in what sense? This is literal - a reality - but is not talking about the literal death of every human or all would literally be dead. Literal death is the end of our literal life. | |

For example, verse 9 "We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him." or verse 23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". What does "death" mean in these two contexts? | |
