No it's right. You trying your best to make it not right but it stands unmovable. No life no activity. Ask a physically dead person to have a cup of coffee with you . Now that same physically dead person is alive in another realm of existence but it's useless in the physical realm where he is dead. Man naturally is dead spiritually.Again wrong use of a metaphor
assuming union with God (life) and separation from God (death) is the same as physical life and death

No Life, No activity. Jesus alludes to that here BTW Jn 6:53No its not and scripture doesn't do it
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Eating and drinking are symptoms of having life in you, spiritual life. The eating and drinking here is spiritual

Better get out of your theology and into scripture
John 20:31 —KJV
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
