Believing the soul is the body is a distinction without a difference of not believing in soul nor spirit.
I did not say the soul is the body. Is that all you can say rather than coming up with any Bible verses that support your idea of a "spiritual death"? As I previously wrote, you're not sticking exactly to what the Bible teaches, despite claiming that you do so.
Jesus said, Matthew 10:28 (WEB):
(28) Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
The death of our body is not the end of our existence. We will continue to exist in a dormant state, like a sleep. This is what Jesus taught and is also taught throughout the Bible, e.g.:
Genesis 47:29-30 (WEB):
(29) The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “... Please don’t bury me in Egypt,
(30) but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” ...
Daniel 12:2 (WEB):
(2) Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Matthew 27:52 (WEB):
(52) The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
John 11:11 (WEB):
(11) He {Jesus} said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
Acts 13:36 (WEB):
(36) For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
1 Corinthians 15:20 (WEB):
(20) But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
God is able to resurrect dead souls to life again (and give them a new body), and he is also able to destroy souls so that they cannot be resurrected to life again (the second death, Revelation 20:14-15 - eternal death as opposed to eternal life).
Now you add in your own definitions. Being dead in sins and trespasses is the soul, not the body.
It's not my definition. I wrote "Death is the cessation of life. It means that you have no concsious thoughts", and I gave supporting Scriptures - Job 14:7-22 and Psalms 146:4 (WEB):
(4) His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
Oblivionism is the doctrinal refuge of the unrepentant children of disobedience.
If you cannot explain why you believe what you believe, quoting the Bible for supporting evidence, or you can't show from Bible quotes why what I wrote is wrong, then don't bother answering; and please don't respond with unsubstantiated accusations and insults.
I once tried to believe all people would be saved in the end, including Hitler, just to make sure I would go to heaven too. It didn't work. I knew I just needed to repent of my own sinful living.
God is very patient and He gives people ample chance to be saved. The Millenium has been set aside so that everyone (all non-Christians) can be restored to life again, and live a long life (longer than they lived before they died) in a perfect environment for learning to live righteously and sinlessly. Satan will be bound up for the whole 1,000 years (Revelation 20:2) so that he can't deceive people (verse 3), and Jesus will rule with a rod of iron (tend them like a shepherd, strictly not allowing unrighteous acts to be performed). Revelation 19:15 (MKJV):
(15) And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, so that with it He should strike the nations. And He will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger and of the wrath of Almighty God.
Isaiah 11:4-9 (WEB):
(4) but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
(5) Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his waist.
(6) The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them.
(7) The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
(8) The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
(9) They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 35:4-10 (WEB):
(4) Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong. Don’t be afraid. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution. He will come and save you.
(5) Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
(6) Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
(7) The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
(8) A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called The Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.
(9) No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.
(10) Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”
The same life we live when taking up our own cross for Him.
No it isn't. Jesus lived a whole human life perfect and sinless. No other human has lived a perfect and sinless life - Romans 3:23 (WEB):
(23) for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Jesus paid the redemption price, and through that Christians are justified, but don't try to make out that you are just as good as Jesus. John 13:16 (WEB):
(16) Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
I am not a descendant of Adam, other than having the same flesh and blood as him and all men and women.
You are a descendant of Adam. Adam was the first man, and all humans are his decendants. That's what the Bible teaches. See Luke 3:23-38 where Jesus' genealogy is traced back to Adam. There is no other oldest ancestor other than Adam.
Keep telling yourself that lie and blaming your body for not repenting of sinning against God.
Keep ignoring the Bible if you wish. I choose to believe the Bible is the true word of God. Psalms 51:7 (TLV):
(7) Behold, I was born in iniquity and in sin when my mother conceived me.
This is Christian tradition that sounds sweet, but has no Bible meaning to it.
What was placed on Jesus' back and body was the Roman lash and nails of the cross.
I had written, "all mankind's sins were placed on him". Here's a verse to confirm that - Isaiah 53:6 (WEB):
(6) All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
It means that God treated Jesus as though he had performed all mankind's sins, although in fact he was sinless, and therefore he suffered as if he had been a sinner. He suffered for all mankind.
No I am not a JW.
