You are the one who is adding terms to the Bible; I just quoted the Bible. If you don't think the Bible is properly written, take it up with the authors or write your own.

I have added nothing. It is all right there in scripture.
Even the new testament states "it is appointed to all men once to die and then the judgement." If Christ came to give us eternal life and then states we still must die, then you have a problem. Matthew 16:25 "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." It's all right there.
Physical vs. Spiritual life. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" Speaking of the bodily dead. If they're alive in Christ, how then are they dead and in need of rising?
Even Ecclesiastes 9 differentiates between bodily death and spiritual death. Terms and understandings you have to know in order to understand salvation to begin with. Nothing is being added. I'd proffer that you either missed it in scripture or never thought to go looking for it. Read it for yourself.
