But that's not what the book says. It says they will die. Nothing is said about a spiritual death. I mean what the heck is spiritual death anyway?
But yeah they constantly find excuses and invent parts of the Bible that don't exist and who can blame them since both Jesus and Paul called upon passages from the Bible's OT that don't exist or simply misinterpreted them. I mean just look what they do to Jesus and the fact that he obviously did not fulfill many of the most prominent prophecies.
Whole Second Corning concept is nothing more than a Christian ruse to conceal some blatant shortcomings on the part of Jesus.
Those numerous predictions that he failed to complete during his sojourn on planet earth will, they allege, be fulfilled when he returns a second time. In other words, what Jesus didn't complete during his first appearance will be accomplished the second time around. For utter deception this ploy has no equal. Using that subterfuge, anyone could claim to be the messiah. All they need do is allege that whatever they did not accomplish while on earth this time would be carried out when they return at some indeterminate time in the future.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
