It’s not a twist towards blasphemy at all. Death is consistently viewed in the Bible as a separation. Physical death is a separation from our physical body and spiritual death is the separation of our spirit from God.

I don’t think you understand that word “consistently”. There was no such thing as “spiritual death” apart from physical death. When one gave up their spirit, they were physically dead. From dust Adam was made and to dust he shall return. There was no afterlife. Death was death. You may not like that very much and it isn’t consistent with the New Testament. Sorry but like in Matthew when Jesus dies his spirit (breath) leaves his body. He quits breathing.

The spirit is always connected with the physical body and that is consistent pretty much throughout the Bible. I hope you don’t think your spirit is going to go to heaven when you die. When you die you return to dust and when Jesus comes to judge the living the dead will be resurrected and transformed into glorious incorruptible bodies and live on earth according to most of the NT scripture unless you subscribe to Paul’s version where you get a new body and meet Jesus in the air and go up to heaven.
