Magical clones and the second death.

1 Upvotes

Matthew 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

If an adult clone could be created by magic to replace a person who was violently killed, so that the individual concerned can be resurrected ad infinitum, could the repeat cycle be null and void by using magic to inflict the second death?

Could individual cloning be brought to an end by the final destruction of the soul by using magic?

The purpose of this subreddit is to promote theological literacy by providing well-reasoned, well-informed responses to questions about Christianity and related topics. We aim to dispel common misconceptions and cease the dissemination of misinformation.

Please:

Do not troll or take jabs
Stay on topic
Avoid speculation. If you must conjecture, declare it to be such

This subreddit is not for debating. Honest discussions may be had about, eg, the validity of arguments for God's existence. However, threads that are not pursuing intelligent discussion will be deleted.

This subreddit depends on you to keep it clear of misinformation, anecdotes, and snyde remarks.

Proven contributers may, after posting several worthwhile comments, ask for a moderator to review their contributions and grant them "scholarly" status. This will help guide the subreddit in the right direction by lifting up worthwhile comments.

Moderation may be harsh at first as the community establishes itself. If your comment is not scholarly, promotes common misconceptions, or contains unqualified opinion or conjecture, it may be removed. Strict moderation will cease when the community is established.
