I have no time for Christanity that discounts what God did, and glorifies what man did. Not only that, you have come nowhere near close to explaining scripturally what being lost is, you keep stating lost as being seperated from God,where is this taught in the scripture?.. If someone is lost they have lost their way and forgotten how to get back to where they desired to return.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

It's interesting you can't/won't answer my question. No matter...
I'm not discounting what God did. After all, I'm a recipient of God's grace. As far as what man did, it's important for us to understand our sin, and what it did to our relationship to God. That's the first step to salvation. Remember the episode with Nicodemus?
You claim lost people have a desire to return to God. Really? Go over to the Atheist board and ask them that. They're running away from God!
Finally, I believe Romans 6:23 is clear that sin leads to spiritual death. John 3:16 says the same thing, using the word perish. Other verses that confirm that are:
Isaiah 59:2
2 Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God.
John 3
36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Romans 3
23 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Jimmie, I have answered your question, it simply wasn't what you wanted to hear due to your inability not to hear anything that is not tuned into to seperation from God.
You still have given no scriptural support for your belief that being lost is seperation from God. Was the prodigal seperated from his Father ?. Was the coin found in the field something other than coin before it was lost ?.

I gave you several examples. In 2 Cor. 5, Paul speaks of us being reconciled to God through Christ. The reason we had to be reconciled is because our sin had broken our relationship with God. See Genesis 3.
