Jesus experienced what spiritual death is truly like, to be utterly forsaken by God. Even though we are born spiritually dead, we have never been truly forsaken by God. He seeks us from the moment we are born. It was the Lord in the Garden who went looking for Adam after he sinned. If Adam had to bear the full weight of what he did, the Lord should never have sought for him or made sacrifice to cover him. Adam should have been utterly forsaken and left to his own means but he wasn't.
For the three hours Christ had our sins laid on Him, He was utterly cast off from God with no help whatsoever from God to endure the torture.
Good point. Yet, I do not believe dead spiritually. Physically< yes. For he went and preached to the spirits in prison. Held there by evil. Whom lost the keys evil had at that time to Jesus, upon the resurrection
Rev 1 he has the keys to Heaven and Hell now. Took them When resurrected. They were alive spirits, held there captive, waiting for God’s Messiah, known now as Jesus our Lord unto his Lord
Adam the first died spiritually to God, yet spiritually alive to the flesh. Dead to God. Which is why no flesh but Son’s flesh could and did please God.
‘Evil is still out and about Spiritually alive, playing God
there be dead to self, Romans 6, Phil 3. To becalive to God
what keeps people in unbelief totally is lust of the flesh of this world, lust of the eyes and the pride of life
asking myself, am I< are you willing to die?
thanks hope to have shown you God’s truth over all flesh and blood nature
