What does it mean to die...?

Question

If some people believe that Jesus Christ is really God - then what are they saying when they say that Jesus Christ died? As far as I understand it you have to believe that Jesus Christ died and that God raised him from the dead to be saved (and make him Lord in your life). How then could Jesus be God and die?

I will never be able to believe that God died. But I have no trouble believing that the man Jesus Christ died for our sins. It's an oxymoron to think that Jesus was God and he died. It's 100% logical to think that Jesus Christ was the son of God - a man (who the bible says was: made, born, etc.) who actually died. If he didn't die then we are not saved.

So my question is this: - What steps does your brain have to twist into to believe that Jesus was God? (or does God mean what he says when he said in 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus?)

I'm interested in what God's word says - not what some guy has taught that sounds cool or neat or interesting. Everything else is God's word is logical and explainable - so why change the rules on the topic of Jesus Christ's identity?

I challenge someone to answer with logic from the bible. I appreciate those who have. God bless you.

Answer 1

God did not die ,

Jesus Christ did

Jesus is the Son Of God

understand????

Answer 2

Jesus Christ was 100% man, but He was also 100% God, but He was & is not God the Father. They are 3 distinct & different individuals: Father, Son & Holy Spirit..yet all three are ONE GOD. (Think of it in this manner....a light bulb has 3 components, the glass bulb, the light it produces, & the power that makes it work, each substance is totally different from each other, yet all 3 are required for LIGHT to be acchieved. (Also like our known universe: 3 components....time, space & matter) God the Son, bore ALL the sins of humanity when He was upon that cross...a feat no mere mortal man could have ever done! Yet Jesus did do that & He remained there of His own free will, for all those that will choose this most precious gift! His sacrafice for OUR sins..so that we can be where He is is! What a awesome God to sacrifice so very much for the love of sinful humanity...yet so many cast the gift away, much to their sorrow in the end of all things!

Answer 3

Jesus Christ is the son of God. He was born to a virgin mother. He died on the cross for our sins. He rose again and ascended into Heaven, where he will stay until the day God choses for his return. Jesus was a man, but he is the son of God. Our bodies die, but our souls continue on. You decide where your soul goes once it leaves your body by choosing to believe in Jesus and God or not. I choose to believe because I would like to see my mom and grandparents again some day.

Answer 4

Christians don't just say "Christ died." At some point it's either understood or later mentioned that He rose 3 days later.

That's like this:

John: According to the National Review, Bill Clinton told 89,356,213,548 lies in the calendar year 1995. In 1996, that figure was shown to be inflated by 784%.

Jane, to Jim: John said that Bill Clinton told 89,356,213,548 lies in 1995!

Leaving out the subsequent information completely changes the situation.

Answer 5

To be absent from the body is to present with the Lord.God can not be in the presence of sin.
Christ came to earth in a temporal form to take the punishment for the sins of all temporal beings.
That is why we approach God through Christ. He is the door to the Kingdom. Christ was bi-terestial,Fully Spirit and Fully Temporal.
The Father,Son and Spirit are of one essence but have different responsibilities. God Devises,Christ (The WORD) speaks and the Spirit comforts. We are all spiritual beings but the temporal house of our spirit is subject to natural law.

Answer 6

Jesus was fully God and fully human. He was always God and took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, and in the form of Jesus Christ, he suffered terribly and died. God raised him from the dead, bodily. Since Jesus was God you could say he raised himself. It is not something you can understand without faith. The passion, death and resurrection of Jesus is one of the many mysteries of our Faith. Read the New Testament carefully and it will fill you in on the details with the words of Jesus and of the many witnesses to his resurrected state.

Answer 7

The explanation is called the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Answer 8

What does it mean to die? Almost certainly compost. How do you know that God (for you believers) really cares about human beings?

Imagine this. You’ve just bought a new home which you furnish with all sorts of nice fittings and fixtures, then prepare the grounds and garden. You plant a wide range of trees, shrubs, flowers, plants and vegetables. You clip and prune as time goes on, spray the weeds, and generally keep your property in good shape.

Many years pass and your gardens are flourishing, not a weed to be seen anywhere. You head off on holiday, a weed pops up and bugs start to crawl all over it. Not to worry, when you return home you spray the gardens, killing all the bugs and weeds. Everything is back to normal.

Now consider the universe. After billions of years a little planet (weed) called Earth pops up and it’s crawling with bugs called humans. Do you really think the gardener (or creator) really cares about the bugs and weeds? Do you think the gardener cares if he destroys you? Do you think that the bugs (humans) on the weed (Earth) have any idea what’s going on in the rest of garden (universe)? What happens to all human beings is just the same as what happens to all bugs and weeds – universal compost.

Answer 9

to die means that the soul leaves the body and goes somewhere else. people have made that confusion, that jesus is god thing, not true, but the jesus is lord thing, yes. he's just not lord to me, I have no lord.

Answer 10

for people who settle for Jesus as saviour, confident all sins continuously are forgiven. we are no longer mindless robots as christians, we nevertheless ought to make a option to do the astonishing element and this takes time to re-learn the varieties and issues we used to do. this is why God sent the Holy Spirit to stay in us and to steer us and supply us power. we are no further slaves to sin yet can decide directly to do stable. as quickly as you have met Jesus and function the Spirit of God, it actual isn't hassle-free to do various the incorrect issues we did till now. various the failings I did as quickly as I did no longer comprehend Jesus i could no longer do them the day when I met him, they simply 'felt' incorrect. this is the Holy Spirit! Christianity is a faith with the help of grace, it rather is approximately what Jesus has already carried out for us, no longer what we are in a position to do for him.
