[QUOTE="razeontherock, post: 58494884, member: 263091"] This is a difficult question! The story of Adam and Eve in the garden serves us well to have insight here. satan told Eve she would not die. G-d told Adam they would. They both ate, and did not die physically only because G-d intervened, initiating the first step of His Covenant with mankind. They still dies Spiritually, and were cut off from the [I]full[/I] Presence of G-d, and "kicked out of Eden." No, we don't [I]really[/I] know what this means, never having "been there." They both continued to have a soul, but trying to distinguish between soul and spirit is more tricky than we can do well. We all wish ^_^ No. It does mean that our sin does not necessarily have to result in our own death, of any sort, as that burden has been borne by Jesus. So in the immediate sense, that is the best definition of Salvation, like so: "And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: [B][COLOR="Red"]though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away[/COLOR][/B], and thou comfortedst me. (Isaiah 12:2) Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore [B][COLOR="red"]with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation[/COLOR][/B]. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this [is] known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great [is] the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee." (One of the shorter chapters in the Bible.) [/QUOTE]
