Here are 3 kinds of death spoken of in the Bible.
- Physical death—the separation of the soul from the natural body (Jas. 2:26).
- Spiritual death—-separation from God because of sin (Eph. 2:1, 5; Isa. 59:2; Mt. 8:22; Col. 2:13; 1 Tim. 5:6).
- Eternal death—-eternal separation from God because man chooses to remain separated from God in sin (Mt. 10:28; 25:41, 46; Rev. 2:11; 14:9-11; 20:11-15; 21:8; 22:15; Isa. 66:22-24). This is called the second death or second separation of God even though no one actually dies (Rev. 2:11; 20:14; 21:8).
Death in all Scripture means separation from the purpose for which one was created, never annihilation or extinction of being. Physical death is separation of the soul from the natural body. The natural body dies at this time and goes back to dust (Gen. 3:19; Jas. 2:26). The spirit and soul are immortal and are either dead in sins or in possession of eternal life in Christ at the time of physical death. In either case, they continue in consciousness whether in heaven or in hell (1 Pet. 3:4; Luke 12:5; 16:23).
Luke 12:4-5
4 “And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
(God is the only one who fits this description)
