Okay, so now you are saying CS Uno (excuse the I earlier) that you do in fact believe that the "punishment for sin is DEATH" and not eternal torment? I guess I missed that--my apologies.
No, what I believe the word of God says is the Physical body dies once because of sin. Yet that death of the body is the final end of the person. There is more than one type of death in the word of God in addition to dying physically.
1.
Physical Death
We suffer this death because we are made of dust, just like our progenitor Adam who "was of the earth, made of dust" (1Corinthians 15:47).
God said to Adam, "You will return to the ground, because from it you were taken, for you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19).
Eternal Death
In a vision, John saw portrayed the judgment day of mankind before the saints enter the new world. Both wicked and righteous were resurrected and judged. Anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into a lake of fire. "This is the second death" (Revelation 20:12-15).
Jesus had earlier said that those who overcome the tribulations of the Christian way, "will not be hurt at all by
the second death" (Revelation 2:11). This second death is the opposite of eternal life (Matthew 25:41,46). We usually call it Hell.
Death In Sin
Paul says, "I was once alive... then sin sprang to life, and I died" (Romans 7:9).
When Paul says, "I died" he was in neither grave nor hell —he had died neither physical nor eternal death. But he had died a death of some kind because he said, "I died."
Paul had earlier written of this death: "Through Adam sin entered the world, and through sin, death passed to all men because all sinned" (Romans 5:12). It is a timeless principle that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).
God says to all, just as he said to Adam, "In the day you sin, you shall die" (Genesis 2:17). Thus you may be "dead in your trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1).
Adam was not told, "If you sin, you will die someday," but rather, "In the day that you sin you will surely die." The day one sins, one dies, being "alienated from the life of God" (Ephesians 4:18).
