The spirit of man never dies,,, the body dies.
When the Bible speaks of eternal death... it is speaking about being separated from God eternally... as in ? hell...
Eternal life is being with God in heaven for eternity.
Someone can be alive here on Earth physically, but, still be spiritually dead.... it's when someone becomes " BORN AGAIN " that they receive new eternal life......

“The spirit of man never dies,,, the body dies.”

Please take this in the proper spirit: Where does the bible say that. I confess I used to believe that (and I used to be a pre-tribulationist) but when I started studying the subject specifically I could not come up with a compelling reason to believe that and, in fact, came up with a compelling reason to believe exactly the opposite.

I think that when the Bible speaks of “eternal death” it means the same thing as “eternally dead”. As in, you are gonna STAY dead.

Ok, so if they are spiritually dead and are not born again, will they not stay spiritually dead. And we know the body is DEFINITELY dead after “death”. So what exactly survives?
