    Hi 94,
    Yes but the promise of God is that he will not leave or forsake us.
    The Spirit abides while the old body disintegrates
    flesh has no future


    Hi Nick:

    When Jesus was dying, he said “my God my God why hast thou forsaken me”, and the scripture states that “he tasted death for every man”, and since we know that men who are Christians die a physical death every day, then the death that he tasted for every man must not be talking about the physical death, but a spiritual death, meaning that he was spiritually separated from God, until God raised him from the dead.

    Love in Christ,
    Marty

    Hi 94,
    He was quoting ps 22
    psalm 22:1
    My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

    He was the scapegoat carrying all the sin of man
    Sin separates us from God

    But death frees us from sin[rom6] and his death restored him to his Father

    Hi 94,
    Rom6
    7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

    8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

    9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

    10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

    Really, Nick:

    So, Jesus just quotes the psalm and it does not apply to what he was going through?

    Yes, I know all that you have stated about him being the propitiation for our sins, and he died the spiritual death that each of us would have died had we not confessed him as our Lord.

    But the point that I was trying to make you see is that dead men do not preach. He may have preached to the dead, the spiritually dead, prior to his death and maybe after his resurrection, but not while he was in the grave.

    In Noah's generation, Noah preached to those in his generation by the Holy Spirit while he was preparing the ark.

    Hi n94,
    He died physically, not spiritually

    1Peter 4
    5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

    6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

    Nick.

    Marty was right.
    There are such as spiritually dead.
    In fact the majority are dead man walking.
    Let the dead bury their dead.Can you understand
    that speech?

    Another two witnesses
    15.Deuteronomy 4:26
    I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

    Hi Nick:

    If the scripture states that he tasted death for every man, and this simply refers to a physical death, wouldn't that mean that Christians would not have to suffer a physical death any longer?

    Hi Nick:

    Because we as born again Christians, may have to die a physical death, but we as Jesus have died unto sin and death has no more dominion over us. We will no longer suffer a spiritual death or separation from God if we continue in the faith.

    Quote

    Jhn 11:25

    Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

    Jhn 11:26

    And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

    Hi 94,
    There is no spiritual death.
    Just the second death.

    Hi Nick:

    We as practicing sinners were dead in our trespasses, this is the first death:

    Quote

    Col 2:13

    And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

    If we should die a physical death without being reconciled to our God through the Lord Jesus, are we not still spiritually separated from God?

    Hi 94,
    Being dead in your sins is prophetic.
    Without salvation man is doomed to perish.

    The second death is that prophecy fulfilled

    Nick.

    Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

    Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

    LET THE LIVING DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD.
    So you are wrong again,understand the scriptures you are quoting.

    wakeup.

    Hi Nick:

    You say:

    Being dead in our sins, is prophetic.

    I don't know about being prophetic, but it is scriptural.

    Quote

    Col 2:13

    And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

    And so, is the scripture that I quoted, just prophetic or is it a statement of fact?
