=golfjack;5333278]Jesus suffered spiritual death in order for us to be saved. You see, our nature had to be changed. Before salvation, people have the nature of the devil. This is why we need to be born again to enter into heaven. Jesus is called the second Adam. He took upon Himself our sin nature, and if we accept the message of the Gospel, we can be saved by what Jesus did, and not by what we do.
Peace, Golfjack
***Jcck what you are claiming is antibiblical. Not only not in the bible, but teaching against what the bible says.
So the scouraging at the piller, crowing with thorns and being nailed to a cross are only “a spiritual death?”:/*I]shrug:
OSAS is not biblical***

Romans 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
Dear friends,
God wants you to know THE TRUTH, and your current understanding is neither biblical, nor is it even logical. PLEASE read on.
I’m going to list a series of Bible passages that disagree with your present understanding.
Do yourself a huge favor and look them up. It is what God would want you to do.
Jn. 3:5, Jn. 3:36, 2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Cor. 9:13,
Mt. 19:16- 17, Phil. 2: 12-13, Lk. 10:16,Mt.16:19 [Speaking to St. Peter], 2 Thes.2:9-12, 1 Tim. 2: 3, 2 Cor.13:8, 2 Tim. 4: 3-5, Jn. 16:12-13, Jn. 17: speaking about the Apostles; 14-19, Jn. 14: 15,Jn.12:34 [please keep in mind the bible was the exclusive property for 1,600 years!] Thess 5: 9-11,
1 Jn. Chapter 5, Jn.20:23-24.
No doubt I can find more but here in super-abundance is Biblical evidence that your position is seriously flawed. For the sake of salvation, take the time to look these up.
*** God can be briefly described as “all, and only all good, perfectly.”***
The second issue is the lack of common-sense and logic for your position. Because God is, must be Fair and Just, in order to be “all-good,” God simply cannot, as in its impossible for God to judge everyone’s life decisions the same.
If your a “petty thief” and die with unrepented and unconfessed sins on your soul, you will still eventually get to heaven, so long as there are no Mortal sins on your soul, that are unconfessed and unrepented. [1 Jn. chapter 5]
If I’m a cold bloodied serial killer and die with these Mortal sins on my soul, unconfessed and unrepented, I’m going to hell. Even if I “know Jesus.” If this is “human justice” how much more fair and just must be our Lord? ***
Friend, you don’t “know Jesus if you don’t know and obey what He teaches.” Amen!

I’ve actually pondered exactly what you are posting about. I thought I would do a quick post on the fly as to semantics, and, serves me right. Came across wrong.
