I asked you where God defined it.
I'd like you to present a NT case, in the same way you demanded a NT case for gluttony. Clearly you cannot.

Originally posted by @divegeesterDo you know who the dead are? It is a simple question. If you know, then explain. If not, the I will explain it to you.
The onus here is on you to defend your claim.

Originally posted by @eladarYou got a verse for that, as near as I can tell, we are promised to go through the world as
Christ does take away misery, poison and death, but only for those who accept his truth.
everyone else does, except with us we do it with God. Bad things can happen to believers
as unbelievers, we die, and so on. So, what are you referring to?

Originally posted by @kellyjayYou said you agreed with Eladar's claim that "Christianity is a poison for the dead". He seems reluctant to support or even explain this claim. Perhaps you can help?

Originally posted by @eladarRather than asking people questions, why don't you just come out and explain what you mean and provide some sort of broad biblical reference to support it, rather than one spurious verse from the OT.

Those who do not have their names written in the book of life are dead even while alive.
Knowing this, now reread what I quoted from Isaiah.

Originally posted by @eladarI'm well aware of the principle of being spiritually dead and yet physically alive.

I've now asked you several times for a NT scripture. Remember? Quid pro quo Eladar. You reject my claim about the sin of gluttony and demanded at NT reference, I'm asking you for NT references to support your claim?
It seems to me that you have just pulled this non-scriptural phrase "Christianity is a poison to the dead" from the top of your head for no better reason than it fits with your current mood, the thread title and your opinion about something.
