what is the difference between Spiritual death and Eternal death?

Answer 1

The first one is in a persons mind and the other one is real.

Answer 2

Spiritual Death - spiritual death comes as a result of our own disobedience, being shut out from God's presence temporarily, to overcome spiritual death and enter back into God’s presence, we must be obedient to laws and principles.

Eternal Death - basically never ever being able to be in God's presence. never wanting to better, denying the holy ghost. almost no one will experience this.

hope this helps... It is what I know to be correct


p.s. I promise THEY ARE NOT the same. we will almost all experience the first till we repent. the other one is eternal Hell.

Answer 3

I would think that 'spiritual death' is on anyone living who is not covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.
Eternal death is once your body dies, and you go to hell.

Answer 4

Spiritual death is the state you are in until Christ quickens you to life.

Eternal death is your final state if you reject Christ and thus are never quickened to life.

Christ is eternal life.

Answer 5

Death is separation. A physical death is the separation of the soul from the body. Spiritual death, which is of greater significance, is the separation of the soul from God.

In Genesis 2:17, God tells Adam that in the day he eats of the forbidden fruit he will “surely die.” Adam does fall, but his physical death does not occur immediately; God must have had another type of death in mind—spiritual death. This separation from God is exactly what we see in Genesis 3:8. When Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord, they “hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God.” The fellowship had been broken. They were spiritually dead.

When Jesus was hanging on the cross, He paid the price for us by dying on our behalf. Even though He is God, He still had to suffer to agony of a temporary separation from the Father due to the sin of world He was carrying on the cross. After three hours of supernatural darkness, He cries, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” (Mark 15:33-34). This spiritual separation from the Father was the result of the Son’s taking our sins upon Himself. That’s the impact of sin. Sin is the exact opposite of God and God had to turn away from His own Son at that point in time.

A man without Christ is spiritually dead. Paul describes it as “being alienated from the life of God” in Ephesians 4:18. (To be separated from life is the same as being dead.) The natural man, like Adam hiding in the garden, is isolated from God.

When we are born again, the spiritual death is reversed. Before salvation, we are dead (spiritually), but Jesus gives us life. “And you hath he quickened [made alive], who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1). “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ” (Ephesians 2:5). “And you, being dead in your sins . . . hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses” (Colossians 2:13).

To illustrate, think of Jesus’ raising of Lazarus in John 11. The physically dead Lazarus could do nothing for himself. He was unresponsive to all stimuli, oblivious to all life around him, beyond all help or hope—except for the help of Christ, “the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25). At Christ’s call, Lazarus was filled with life, and he responded accordingly. In the same way, we were spiritually dead, unable to save ourselves, powerless to perceive the life of God—until Jesus called us to Himself. He “quickened” us; “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us” (Titus 3:5).

The book of Revelation speaks of a “second death,” which is a final (and eternal) separation from God. Only those who have never experienced new life in Christ will partake of the second death (Revelation 2:11; 20:6, 14; 21:8).

Answer 6

There is no difference
