existence is eternal, because it derives from the Eternal One who created you.
whether we rise to eternal life or to eternal death -- as God defines life and death -- hinges on being found in Christ.

If people understood death under the banner of separation which is what death actually means, then they would grasp the eternal aspect of the human spirit....

Physical death --> the spirit separated from the body

Eternal death -->the spirit separated from God

The concept of death literally portrays separation.........!

Quit being a smart Alec. Bud may not be expressing himself perfectly, but he has a valid argument. Wise cracking will not gain you any favors here.

I am not directing this at Bud. I am making the point that two strong headed individuals are about to come face to face with opposing viewpoints (DCON and Bud). I was responding to Bud's response to DCON....

Oh, sorry. Well DCon need a little buffering in his delivery, also. He has strong opinion but his delivery is often offensive. You catch bees with honey than vinegar.

We are not catching bees or flies......wake up....the truth by it's very nature is offensive and God uses many imperfect men and women with different styles, approaches and demeanors to deliver his perfect message

you seem to only speak of life as the animation of these bodies of dust we inhabit.
do understand that life is more than the flesh?

But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken! ​
(Mark 12:26-27)​

the bodies of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had all returned to dust when He said this, but He calls them alive.
life therefore is not the body; the flesh is not the person. we have to get that straight

1 Peter 3

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

- look closely at verse 19.

IF you look at that again ,you will see that HE was quickened .Which means that he was resurrected & then went and preached to those Who were in prison .Those that are in sin, are in prison , JESUS says , Like Peter when He denied HIM ,HE even went to him , And all the rest of them ,

how does Ephesians say we were 'dead' in our sins?
how does Romans say we 'have died' to sin, and to the law?
they're not talking about death in the sense of annihilation. they can't be. and they're also not talking about death in the sense of the flesh returning to dust. they can't be.

we have to understand death in the way the Bible talks about it. there is more than one death. the body returning to dust is only one kind of death - the human definition of death. but God speaks about people whose bodies have returned to dust as being alive. God knows that people are too dim to understand this - so He sometimes uses the word death with the human connotation of it -- as He is telling the disciples that Lazarus is only sleeping, for example, but they cannot comprehend Him ((John 11))

No Adam lived 930 , so no he did not die that day,

then why/how does God say 'in the day you eat of it, dying you will die' ?

what happened to Woman, and to Adam, when they ate? how were their bodies affected? how were their spirits affected?
God describes it as death.
