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.

So, are you saying that when a man dies, his spirit dies also? No; for the book says it 'sleeps' 'til that trumpet sounds.

(Heck is where people, who don't believe in Gosh, think they are not going...)
