Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The definition of death is settled early, long before Scripture is ever consulted. We inherit the definition from hospital rooms, funerals, and the visible failing of the body, and that inherited definition has been quietly shaping everything since. Michael J. Keeney begins with a single, unsettling claim: The death Scripture names most often is not physical cessation. It is a spiritual condition in which humanity already stands. Drawing carefully from Scripture, Genesis to Revelation, he builds a case that the biblical definition of death has almost nothing to do with a stopped heart. Paul called people dead who were still walking, talking, and making dinner reservations. Jesus said that those who believe in Him will never die. Adam died the day he ate the fruit, and went on to live for centuries. Scripture is consistent and precise, and what it calls death is something far older, far deeper, and far more hidden: a spiritual condition of estrangement from God, sustained by deception and false identification with flesh. If that's true, the fear of death has been preaching a false gospel to you your entire life. Michael moves methodically through five movements, from Eden's shadow to fear's final defeat, examining the passages that most Christians have read too quickly, and he doesn't stop at theology. He arrives at something personal: the possibility that the thing you've spent years dreading has been lying to you about its own authority. Written by a man who carried the fear himself, You Cannot Die is for anyone who believes in God and still trembles before the grave. For anyone who has ever sat in a pew wondering whether the good news is better, nearer, and more complete than they were told. It is. You cannot die. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. You believe in Christ. So why are you still afraid to die? For years, Michael J. Keeney lived with that contradiction. Then he began questioning an assumption he had never thought to examine: What if death doesn't mean what we were taught it means? You Cannot Die follows that question from Genesis to Revelation, challenging familiar assumptions about death, the human spirit, salvation, judgment, resurrection, and eternal life. Scripture calls living people dead. Paul says the carnal mind is death. Jesus declares, "I am the resurrection, and the life." These are clues to a radically different understanding of death and life, not passing details. This book reexamines what Scripture means by death, why our identity cannot be reduced to flesh, how the lie of separation produces fear and striving, why salvation is the unveiling of life already hidden in Christ, and how judgment, resurrection, and eternal life look different when death is defined on Scripture's own terms. This isn't a book about pretending physical death is unreal. Bodies die. Grief is real. It's a book about whether the grave has been given an authority that Scripture never gave it. It hasn't.
