Spiritual death

|
In Christian theology, Spiritual Death, sometimes also referred to as the Second Death, is defined as a spiritual separation from God, usually brought on by sin. Christians believe that both spiritual death and physical death (defined in this context to be the separation of the body and the soul) were brought into the world through the Fall of Adam. Whereas a man only suffers physical death once, he can suffer spiritual death every time he sins. Some Christian religions define Hell as the ultimate spiritual death; being completely removed from the presence of God both physically and spiritually.
