Spiritual death is serious, but many people don’t fully understand its implications. Listed below are Symptoms, Causes, Imputation, and Initiation. These answers will help you to understand the problem better. Ask a spiritual counselor if you have questions.
Symptoms
There are many indicators that the soul is moving towards spiritual death. These include recurring illness, unusual events, or thoughts of murder, suicide, abortion, or terroristic acts. These symptoms are often accompanied or exacerbated by feelings of isolation. These symptoms are not a permanent condition, though, and they usually go away after a while.
Causes
Spiritual death is the end of a person's ability to live in the spirit realm. Before the Fall, man was able to walk in the spirit realm alongside the Creator. He walked as a "subject of faith" with the ability to speak words into being. Adam was able to see perfectly at sunrise. However, he began to notice the destruction around him.
Imputation
Adam's original sin causes spiritual death. Adam's original sin caused the sin nature to be inherited by all people. The result was spiritual death, which reigned from Adam until Moses. This article will examine the doctrine of imputation in the Bible.
Imputation of original righteousness
When Paul speaks of the imputation of original righteousness as a spiritual death, he is answering a common objection about all of mankind's sin before the law. This objection is based on the idea that there is no imputation of personal sin when there was no law. Instead, he sees Adam's sin as the basis for the corrupt nature that the race has been condemned with.
Separation
Spiritual death refers to a state in which the soul separates itself from God. There are two types spiritual death. Temporal separation is the first type. This separation occurs when we sin against God. This separation affects Adam and all his descendants. This separation can be overcome by the atonement.
