What does the scripture mean by death? Let's discern the meaning from two verses. In [[Genesis]] God told Adam and Eve, ''In the day you of it ye shall surely die'', and Jesus told a young man who wanted to bury his father first before following Jesus, ''Let the dead bury the dead''. In both cases we discern that God is not talking about physical of fleshly death; he talking about separation, or spiritual death. In Genesis God is warning in the day that Adam and Eve reject God's word, they shall surely become separated from God. In Jesús's statement, Jesus is saying let those who are spiritually separated from God bury the physical corpse of another person who likely also was spiritually separated from God.

It is the spirit that gives life. Hence you must be born of the spirit. This is the second birth Jesus discusses with Nicodemus in John chapter 3, ''ye must be born again.'' It is the spirit that gives life.

The words that come out of you mouth is your spirit, and it's either a clean or unclean spirit.
God spoke the world into existence with the words of his mouth. He didn't make it with his hands.
