Does Paul say you are dead in your trespasses and sins? Does Paul say that by faith you are saved? I am a member of His family by His Holy Spirit within me. And natch that is in my before dead spirit, since the spirit is dead without that which God created it top contain, the same thing that went out of Adam and Eve resulting in their death, spiritually. When God says in that day you shall surely die, He means THAT DAY. So we know the state of dead has to be spiritual because the couple remained in the Garden until God drove them out.
And to whom do you confess your sins? Yourself?
