Did the Lord Jesus Christ die a spiritual and physical death together on the cross, like Adam?
The answer is yes, and no.
He took the "judgment" that was meant for us, but He tore up the "certificate of debt" and lifted it away, meaning He removed it from the relationship of communion between God and man. He tore it up on the cross when He nailed it there. This would not happen if the Lord had died a spiritual death like Adam, which is why the Apostle Peter said on the day of Pentecost that death could not "hold him" (Acts 2:24). Because the judgment was issued by the one Trinity, there was no one else with the authority of judgment besides the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The righteous Judge does not give an account to another; rather, according to His goodness, He gives what He wills. For the clay does not dare to ask the potter, "Why have you made me like this?" (Romans 9:20-21)
When we say yes, it is because He truly died, and His soul was separated from His body, which is the same death as Adam's. When we say no, it is because we must not forget that the Lord has authority over life, and therefore He descended into Hell, not as one dead under the authority of death (i.e., Satan), but He descended and scattered the forces of darkness, destroyed the powers of Hell, broke the sting of death, and tore up the certificate of debt; because He has authority over life.
