It's not worth arguing over. The spiritually dead are already dead. I have become convinced that not all of those we see around us even have souls, but are rather like NPCs. Discernment is needed because there are also others that are demonically infested, and that's an entirely different breed.
If you have acknowledged your own soul then you have found a pearl of great value indeed.
The value is in acknowledging the Creator and Lord of your soul
Are they spiritually dead through their lifestyle or can one actually sell ones soul? Or, as I suspect, can one’s soul slip away through constant sin or negligence? This would definitely explain Democrats.
