Sorry, couldn't let this pass:

I certainly do not assume one cannot gain from an evil. I gained a glorious Saviour from the evil of Adam.

So - wrong again, bro...

Oh, my bad. Cool, then you agree that your verse doesn't imply that death is not evil (or intrinsically evil)!

Either way, your argument from Phil. has been refuted. It's just easier having you refute it for us instead of people having to take my word for it.

Let's recall what you said,

Quote:
"To live is Christ to die is gain"

I don't this the Apostle Paul considered death intrinsically "evil".
You used this verse to show that Paul didn't view death as intrinsically evil because he gained from death.

You've now admitted that you were wrong.
