 "question": "What is death in the Bible, and what are its seven kinds?",
 "answer": "In the Bible death never means the end of existence; it means separation - the inability to function in a particular realm. Scripture describes seven deaths: spiritual, positional, temporal, operational, sexual, physical, and the second death. The root of them all is spiritual death - separation from God - into which every person is born.",
