Interesting that anyone could even not understand death. NTL there is more than one kind of death. The human can die twice. How is this? The scripture speaks clearly about a sceond death.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin is disobedience, rebellion against the commands of God. Death entered the world through sin. Sin entered through Adam, but Lord Jesus Christ died to take away the sting of death. Praise God I don't know what the sting of death felt like, but it must have been terrible to cause God to send His only begotten Son to pay the penalty for sin and give us eternal life. The Bible describes death as an entity that can and will be destroyed in the lake of fire Rev. 20: 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

The second death will happen to some after the second ressurection.
But only if they will not repent and obey God.
Everyone will be resurrected after the first death; no one will, or indeed can be, raised from the second death.

A human is born.
A human dies. (the first death)
The general resurrection. (the human is alive again)
This human didn't receive the gift of eternal life in Christ
Therefore, The human dies. (the second death)
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Well, death really just means death, with almost the exactly same semantic field as the word has in English, and can be used literally or metaphorically, whether we're talking moth or θανατως.

Death actually means something. Didn't they ever teach you in school that you can't define a word using that word?
Psha, ok, you've got me there.

Because some insist that death is total evaporation - annihiliation I wonder if any have considered the definition of destroy used in Matt 10:28 spoken by Jesus? Here is the definition of the Greek word used -
1) to destroy
a) to put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to ruin
b) render useless
c) to kill
d) to declare that one must be put to death
e) metaph. to devote or give over to eternal misery in hell
f) to perish, to be lost, ruined, destroyed
2) to destroy
a) to lose

The Bible definition of death is "separation"
When God told Adam that he would die in the day he ate he became separated from God, 930 years later he died "physically". He was separated from his body.
The "second death" the Bible refers to is eternal separation from God.
Christians (those who are born again) spend eternity with God in God's Kingdom.
Those who are not born again spend eternity separated from God in the Lake of Fire.

So I take it that what you understand is that death isn't annihiliation. Would that be correct. Annihiliation is poof non existence in any form. That would be less form than vapor.

Death is the state of not being alive. Some believe that people are still conscious after they are dead. Death is the state of not being alive, it is not "separation" it is separation from life. I can't believe you don't know what death is.

The biblical definition of death is not separation. Where does the the bible say that death actually means separation? This is really a stretch. If you wish to assert this, please provide some sort of proof.
