Physical and Spiritual Death in the Bible part two

Whenever the Bible speaks of physical death, it either attaches no connotation of good or evil to it or it speaks of God's approval of it. In Psalm 116:15, God actually approves of the deaths of His saints. God approves because He gathers their souls and spirits to Himself and creates a new spiritual body for them. Since no consciousness whatsoever exists within physical death, then the dead saints cannot be separated from God forever. One must be conscious of one's separation from God to be thus separated. God has stated that death is the enemy of God and man. I Corinthians 15:26. This statement of God can only refer to spiritual death since God approves of the physical deaths of His saints.

Jesus said that the Devil was a murderer from the beginning. John 8:44. From the beginning, Lucifer sought to kill God. Satan tried to use physical and spiritual death as a means to separate God from Himself, and having failed in that attempt, Satan then sought to use spiritual death to try to separate some of God's creations from Himself in order to weaken God's Word on which His creations are based and thus cause the slow death of God. Numbers 23:19; Ecclesiastes 3:14. Satan tried again to kill God on the cross, and again he failed. Love conquers all. I Corinthians 13:8.

God takes no pleasure in the deaths of the wicked. Ezekiel 33:11. God grieves for the wicked when they die because their souls and spirits suffer a temporary separation from God in either a place called death, a place called the sea, or a place called hell according to the judgment of Christ. Revelation 20:13. In each of these places, God uses His consuming fire to separate their good works from their evil works so that eventually only the dead, who are totally evil, will stand before God at the Great White Throne Judgment. Revelation 20:12; I Corinthians 3:12-15; Revelation 22:11-12. God will recover all of His good elements that He has ever put into every human being and use those good elements to recreate a new, righteous humanity to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 21:1-5; Romans 11:36; Revelation 4:11. If God should lose entire humans to the torment of hell forever, then He would lose a part of that which He originally created. Such an event would weaken the Word of God which would cause the slow death of God. God must make His Word good. Numbers 23:19. Should God lose entire humans to the power of the Devil, then He would have failed in His promise to destroy death as a permanent spiritual separation from God. God must make His Word good. Numbers 23:19. Whenever the Bible speaks of spiritual death, it almost always denotes it by the use of phrases which signify darkness or a place separate from God. Job 3:5; Psalm 23:4; Hosea 13:14; Luke 1:79; John 5:24.
