Spiritual death is a serious issue, but many people don't really understand what it means. Listed below are Symptoms, Causes, Imputation, and Initiation. These will give you an easier understanding of the subject. If you have any questions about this subject, don't hesitate to ask a spiritual counselor.
Symptoms
There are a number of signs that the soul is on its way to spiritual death. You may experience recurring illnesses, unusual events, thoughts of suicide, murder, or terroristic actions, as well as other symptoms. These symptoms can often be accompanied by isolation. These symptoms aren't permanent and usually resolve after a while.
The causes
Spiritual death refers to the process in which a person ceases to exist in the realms of spirit. Before the Fall mankind walked in the spirit realm along with the Creator. Adam was a subject of faith and could speak words into existence. Adam had perfect eyesight at sunrise. However as the days progressed Adam began to become aware of the devastation all around him.
Imputation
Adam's original sin causes spiritual death. His sin resulted in the transmission of the sin nature throughout humanity. The result was spiritual death, which reigned from Adam until Moses. This article examines the doctrine of imputation in the Bible.
Original righteousness imputation
Paul refers to the imputation or original righteousness as a spiritual loss in order to address a common objection regarding all mankind's sin prior the law. This objection is based upon the notion that sins can be imputationated even though there has never been a law. Instead, he views Adam's sin and the corrupt nature of the race as the reason for their condemnation.
Separation
Spiritual death can be defined as a situation in which the soul is separated from God. There are two types. The first type is known as temporal seperation. This happens when we sin against God. It affects Adam's entire posterity. This separation can be overturned through atonement.
