That's an interesting insight. Alma certainly could have been referring to simply to 'death' in general, but his descriptions caused me to wonder if he was trying to making a distinction between physical and spiritual death. If they meant exactly the same thing, why would he have mentioned both separately (bands and chains / death and hell / physical and spiritual)? @Dustin: I suppose it would - those are good references. It's interesting that Alma would refer to it different ways. I personally like the Alma 5:9 wording of having the bands broken (instead of loosed) because it makes it sound more like a done deal. There is no way you can be bound by physical death anymore! You will be resurrected. Having them loosed might imply that they could be tightened again. Just a thought. @MahNahvu: Thank you for your comments. That’s an interesting insight.

Why wouldn’t is be suffient to say the bands have been loosed?
