The wage of sin is death, not the transformation into some spiritual being.
When the physical body dies it is dead and nothing else.
Those who are dead possess only hope and nothing more.
Our soul is immortal and continues on after our mortal body fails us. I believe dying is simply the soul leaving the body and going on to its reward or penalty.
When the physical body dies it is dead and nothing else.
Those who are dead possess only hope and nothing more.
