Death of the flesh body is not death of the entity that dwells there. Why is this statement correct?

Question

If you disagree then you promote death.

Spiritual Death

Answer 1

Am in agreement..because its Biblical.

Answer 2

There are two types of death; physical and spiritual. Physical death is the separation of the body and the spirit. The Fall brought mortality and death to the earth (2 Ne. 2: 22; Moses 6: 48). The atonement of Jesus Christ conquered death so that everyone will be resurrected (1 Cor. 15: 21-23). Resurrection is a free gift to all people regardless of whether they have done good or evil in this life (Alma 11: 42-44). Each person suffers only one physical death since once we are resurrected, our bodies can die no more (Alma 11: 45).

Spiritual death is Separation from God and his influences; to die as to things pertaining to righteousness. Lucifer and a third part of the hosts of heaven suffered a spiritual death when they were cast out of heaven (D&C 29: 36-37).
Spiritual death was introduced into the world by the fall of Adam (Moses 6: 48). Mortals with evil thoughts, words, and works are spiritually dead while still alive on earth (1 Tim. 5: 6). Through the atonement of Jesus Christ and by obedience to the principles and ordinances of the gospel, men and women can become clean from sin and overcome spiritual death. Spiritual death also occurs following the death of the mortal body. Both resurrected beings and the devil and his angels will be judged. Those who have willfully rebelled against the light and truth of the gospel will suffer spiritual death. This death is often called the second death (Alma 12: 16; Hel. 14: 16-19; D&C 76: 36-38).

Answer 3

The Bible disagrees with all your concepts. the fault lies with you, not the Bible.

Gen. 2:7 defines what the soul is. A combo of the dust of the ground and breath of life "and man became a living soul."

Can it die? According to Ezekiel 18:4, yes! "The soul that is sinning, it itself will die."

Do all souls sin? Romans 5:12 shows they all do.

What happens at death? Psalms 146:4 and Eccles. 9:5, 10 shows there is no work, wisdom, feelings, knowledge in death. It is not without good reason Jesus compared the death of Lazarus to sleep. In sleep, all the above conditions apply to an extinct, except for the waking up part.

It does not promote death. It is to be avoided if possible. It is not to be feared. Most importantly, there is a way out through a resurrection as Acts 24:15 explains.

Answer 4

ECC 9 V 5....' The dead are conciouss of nothing '.....also GEN 2 V 7 ' And the man (adam) came to be a LIVING SOUL ' after god had created him.These two scripture alone indicate that the death of the body is the end as the body is also refferred to as the soul by the bible, they are one and the same thing.The soul is not a separate part of the body that leaves upon death.SEE ALSO LEV 7 V 18, ACTS 27 V 37....When christ or God speak of a spiritual person or spirituality they speak of a persons inner need to be satisfied by gods spirit or his instruction as found only in the scriptures as it leads to salvation and everlasting life through the kingdom...this is indicated by Jesus in MATTHEW 5 V 3...

Answer 5

I won't defend your thesis, because i disagree with it.

However, i must take issue with your libelous statement that those who disagree promote death. It's a complete non sequitur. My opinion is based on observation and upon neurological science. It is my assessment, to the best of my ability, of how the real world operates. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I PROMOTE DEATH. All it means is that i do not deny its reality.

P.S. The conservation of energy argument doesn't work for 2 reasons:

1) All evidence suggests that consciousness is not an *entity*, but a *process*, sustained by a living brain. The brain requires A LOT of energy to sustain this process, but this energy isn't the process itself. The energy is continuously pumped in through the blood supply, and dissipated by the relentless 2nd law of thermodynamics. Science already knows what form the energy of consciousness changes into upon death, and it is *not* consciousness.

2) There is also a law of conservation of matter. After a body dies, the matter doesn't disappear, but merely changes form. But, after the body has been consumed by worms and insects, reprocessed by bacteria, and recycled into daises, would it make sense to say that the *body* is still there?

Answer 6

How is it that death is promoted if they disagree with this statement? Your logic seems a little flawed.

A proven fact is that the human body (like ALL multicellular organisms) is just a collection of tiny organisms (cells) that rely on eachother and work together to produce the effect you see (a human being/multicellular organism).

Death is caused by these cells dieing in mass numbers (such as heart cells, brain cells, etc...) which in turn cause the corresponding part of the body to fail and all other systems that depend on it.

How do these cells die? You either cut off their supply of oxygen or food. The ONLY energy in the human body is that produced by the chemical reaction between the nutrients & the oxygen (much like a fire needs food & oxygen to produce heat energy). When death arrives, it is because this energy has already been used up by these cells causing them to stop functioning.

Please note that when I refer to "producing energy" I simply mean converting energy using the chemical reactions that take place in the mitochondria.

Answer 7

I think it is true - and I think so because nothing else really makes sense to me. I mean, why expend the energy to create all of us to live for 70 years and then lay in a box with no way to use the lessons we have learned?

I promote end game at will. I think that we are here as long as it is useful and fun for us and when it is not it is time to go. I believe that when we die we return home - to the energy that we are born from - and then we get to get in line and come right back. This has got to be the best ride in the park.

Peace!

Answer 8

Because we are spiritual beings living in a physical body. Sort of like that little alien that was dying in the tiny little chair behind the fake face of a human on M.I.B. with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Except that alien had a tiny physical body and we are spirits.

Answer 9

Who says that statement is correct? It's subjective surely. There are many people who consider death to be finality - with no afterlife or transference of the "soul" (whatever that is). Also, of course, there are people who believe that death cannot possibly be the end (except of the physical body). It's a matter of belief.

Answer 10

Because that entities are the basic foundations of the knowledge being nurtured by various people or entity itself which it doesn't concern within the body but an alienated entity of influence.

Answer 11

Because they are talking about your soul. Your body dies but your soul lives forever to be reunited with your glorified body at the end of the world. Thus the body is raised from the dead but the soul never dies.
