Dr E did not get this from us. We have stood against such a view numerous times. It doesn’t keep the charge from being levied though, along with any number of charges.
Best I’ve seen is some early quotes from folks like Scofield, that I chalk up to sloppy writing based upon other statements that the same men have made which contradict such a view.
I have a question from earlier on this thread and I don’t have an answer. If the first death is spiritual, what number is physical death, and if the first death is not spiritual, when did Adam die spiritually?
