Dead, like the rest of us.

What if this is not the case, and God's communication in His Bible is right? The Bible proposes that there are three kinds of life, and three kinds of death.

- Physical life is union of one's soul and spirit with one's body.
- Spiritual life is union of one's soul and spirit with The God.
- Eternal life is the never-ending re-union of one's soul and spirit with a resurrected body that shall never die again, in union with The God forever in a sphere called Heaven, the Paradise of The God.

- Physical death is the separation of the soul and spirit of a human from the body.
- Spiritual death is the separation of a human's soul and spirit from The God.
- Eternal death is the re-union of a human's soul and spirit with a resurrected body, to be forever separated from The God, abiding in a sphere called "the lake of fire," where the Devil and his angels will also be, to be tormented and in unrelieved agony ever after, without end.

According to God speaking through His prophets, every human is, at birth, spiritually dead because of the curse of Adam's sin which is placed on every molecule of the extension of his flesh, which is -- each of us.

The presence of Sin as a Master, and thus an inescapable propensity of our Sin-obedient nature to engage in committing sinful activity, places us beyond response to The God's desire for us.

Adam was originally in close, pleasurable communication and unity with his Creator, and that closeness is attainable to each of us; but only through the removal of the Adam-humanly insuperable proclivity to commit sins, by the cleansing power of the application of the Blood of The Perfect Sacrificed Lamb, Jesus Christ, to the blackness of our hearts to remove Sin (persistently commit trust in Him - Jn. 6:47); and by eating of His Flesh (hear/read/internalize/digest the Words of The God - Mt. 4:4, Jn. 6:54). When we are thus cleansed and purified, we can approach and communicate with The God, as Adam did before his fall. We can also obey Him, which we could not do when Sin and our sins blocked the way.

Or we can refuse, remain spiritually dead and disobedient, and choose Eternal Death as our outcome.

Regarding the hypothetical "porn star" discussed in this article, one so engaged unrepentantly in the occupation of a whore, and more so by exposing that behavior to the eyes and ears of the watching world for love and/or money of it, is a blatant whore, with whom The God says He will have no fellowship nor with her partner, and who cannot possibly claim or be thought by any Bible-believer to be called "Christian."

Why? Because Jesus came not to condemn the world (for it was already under The God's condemnation), but that those of the world through Him might trust in His authority, be saved, and cast away the cords of Sin.

Any one who does not believe what I have just written, is just as surely condemned toward Hell as that hypothetical "porn star," though she were a church member, or even claiming to be a "Christan minister/prophet." (Rev. 2:20-24).

So, the Bible says your body may cease of living, but your soul and spirit, your conscious existence, will never die. What will you do with this? Though The God already knows, you have a choice. Right now you are riding on the hyphen between "pre" and "destination." What will you choose?

I know the body will be dead, after that, I do not KNOW. While many have beliefs about what happens or may happen after death, I honestly do not believe that anyone KNOWS.
