It means this...

1 Peter 1: 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

God guards and protects our souls. He also protects our bodies at times, but this is talking about preserving, keeping, guarding the soul. Because it is KEPT UNTO SALVATION. God keeps us UNTO salvation. That can only mean preservation of spiritual life. Jesus will lose none of His sheep.

I didn't say my soul was dead. I said Spirit was dead, spiritually dead. What do you suppose it means that we were dead in our sins, and then God quickened us (made us alive) with Christ?

Regeneration is a SPIRITUAL RESURRECTION. Only God raises the dead, whether physical or spiritual

So how much energy will you provide for the resurrection of your body? About the same ammount of energy you provided for the resurrection of your spirit

I'm glad to hear that you think I am in left field because I believe in spiritual death and spiritual resurrection. This is what happens when you believe. Before you believed you were dead in your trespasses and sins. Then God raised you to spiritual life.

I guess Lightskin doesn't believe in spiritual death, or do you Captain Lightskin?

More incorrect projections. Your solitude is not becoming of you.

No, it's a valid question. So how much effectual energy will you provide for the resurrection of your body? About the same ammount of effectual energy you provided for the resurrection of your spirit...NONE, NADA, Zilch, NIL.

Well, KJV disagreed with the spiritual death part. Do you believe that we were dead spiritually and raised to life by the operation of God?
