There are scriptural testimonies to something that might be called a living death.
An example would be the plain language regarding Jesus’ brothers. But if you believe Mary NEVER had sex, then it has to somehow be interpreted to mean something else. Hence the “relative, rather than brother” interpretation.
It started with Eden. In the day of their disobedience they would “die.”
Well just look at what that entailed. QED... I don’t need to make this long winded. Thanks for playing, though.
