Spiritual death can be a serious issue. However, many people don’t know what it means. Below are the causes, symptoms, imputations and initiating factors. These questions will help to give you a better understanding. Do not hesitate to seek out a spiritual counselor with any questions.
Symptoms
There are many indicators that the soul is moving towards spiritual death. You may experience recurring illnesses, unusual events, thoughts of suicide, murder, or terroristic actions, as well as other symptoms. These symptoms can be accompanied with isolation. These symptoms usually subside after a while and are not permanent.
Causes
Spiritual death is the end of a person's ability to live in the spirit realm. Before the Fall mankind walked in the spirit realm along with the Creator. Adam was a "subject to faith", able to speak words into existence and walk as such. Adam's eyesight was excellent at sunrise. But, as the days passed, Adam began to see the devastation around him.
Imputation
Spiritual death is caused by Adam's original sin. Adam's sin created the sin nature, which was then inherited and propagated throughout the world. The result was spiritual death, which reigned from Adam until Moses. This article examines the doctrine of imputation in the Bible.
Imputation of original right
Paul's description of the imputation as a spiritual death of original righteousness is a response to a common objection to all sins 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 in the root of the corrupt nature with which the race is condemned.
Separation
Spiritual death is the condition in which the soul separates form God. There are two types. Temporal separation is the first type. This happens when we sin against God. It affects Adam's entire posterity. The atonement can overcome this separation.
