To: Elsie
I Said: My God died for me on the cross....
You Said: The FLESH that His Spirit was using died.

So, are you saying that when a man dies, his spirit dies also?

Mormons do not believe that the spirit can die other than what we call the second death which is a metaphor for being separated from God spiritually, not an actual death of the spirit.

To a Mormon, all death is just a death of the flesh, the spirit which existed before this earth lives on, hence the need to paradise and spirit prison.

Anyway, I can agree with it the way you said it too, but the point is there was no possibility for God dieing in Mormon theology either, so again (IMHO) we have a distinction without a difference.

No; for the book says it 'sleeps' 'til that trumpet sounds.
