When God told Adam he would die it he ate the fruit was that “death” the second death?
It was spiritual death that leads to the Second Death (Lake of Fire)
... unless you have a Savior and are "born again"... which is being
translated OUT of spiritual death and INTO eternal life.
All have sinned and death came to that same “all”, so do all experience the second death?
Yes, all men experience the Second Death, unless they
have a Savior and are "born again". Again we see WHY
any doctrine must harmonize with ALL RELATED verses...
and not just one or two selected verses.
Christian theology 101 (again).
Did the second death reign from Adam to Moses so even Abel experienced the second death?
All men will experience the Second Death (when cast into the
Lake-of-Fire)... unless they have a Savior and are "born again".
Do you see WHY we cannot design doctrines based on one or
two verses? Before we can even PRETEND to have found some
Biblical Truth we must be able to harmonize ALL RELATED verses.
Most heresies are built on one or two verses.
All good lies need some truth.
That is why the ONLY MEASURE of Biblical Truth is harmony
of ALL RELATED Scripture... not just a few select verses.
This is Christian Theology 101.
So did Jesus experience the second death?
What do you imagine the Atonement was?
It was Jesus PAYING for our (the saints) sins.
Our (the saints) sins were NOT PAID by Jesus' physical death.
He had to SUFFER for each of our (saints) sins to PAY them,
so that we need not... that is what a "Savior" does, he PAYS
for our sins. He is our "sin substitute" because He did what
we would have had to do... if we had no Savior.
Do we experience the second death also?
In a sense... Christ experienced it FOR US so we need not...
again, that is what a Savior or "sin substitute" does. However,
we were "in Him" (both in His death and resurrection), so in that
sense we did experience what He did.
I wonder WHY it is so hard for you to understand that ALL MEN
must experience the Second Death (Lake of Fire) unless they
have a Savior that already did that FOR THEM?
