I don't think that we can say of any scripture "that is physical only" or "that is only spiritual". Scripture was first given in the ancient Hebrew language, a language that has both physical and spiritual meanings for each word and even each letter.

The first chapters of the book of Leviticus gave us laws that governed Israel, and now starting with the 20th chapter we are going to be told of the amount of importance God gives each of these instructions.

Molech who went by other names in other languages was a god who asked those who recognized him to murder children. Even today the murdering of children is punishable by death in the secular world. The death that was to result from this god was both spiritual and physical.

Demons gave the world this god, and true to demon ways it is a copy of the way of God, made of the same kind of lies Satan gave to Eve. Demons give the same promises to us today, just doesn't ask us to murder.

On the contrary, we can safely assume that God was always dealing with ancient Israel on the physical plane. The pre-incarnate Jesus was always the one dealing with the ancients. Unless specifically addressed on the spiritual it was always physical. Very few were offered salvation as we think of it in the New Testament era. No spiritual death is alluded to until the second resurrection, unless dealing with apostate believers. :cool:

This is not so if God is an eternal God, if God created the world and all in it and it was good, or if God is the Father of the Son.

To make your idea so you would have to create a new idol and call it God, give it the words of scripture and take the spirit from those words. This seems to be what you have attempted. That is what demons do, they take the truths of the Lord and twist them. Satan did this to Eve, telling her part truths of God, mixing in lies so it created death.

To take the spirit from scripture because it gives history also would be to create death.

Whatever man. But ask yourself: Is not service to God always been optional for the spiritual part? The ancient Israelites had to serve their form of government. Did they act like saved people to you?

Do you read scripture to find truth, or is truth optional?

Oh, don't get me wrong. Salvation was always available for those that truly sought it. It's kind of like raising your children to respect you. While they are underage and living in my house they will serve the Lord by obeying my commands. When they get on their own they have to make a decision for themselves. That is what it is like having God as your king. For salvation, we have to surrender our will to God. Not everyone will do that. :)
