If Jesus is Almighty God, how could death have had dominion (or mastery) over him? Ro. 6:9?

Question

And BTW, can God die?

Answer 1

No. God cannot die he is immortal.
The Holy Scriptures tell us the personal name of the Father-Jehovah. They inform us that the Son is Jesus Christ. But nowhere in the Scriptures is a personal name applied to the holy spirit.

Matt. 26:39, : “Going a little farther he [Jesus Christ] fell on his face and prayed, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.’” (If the Father and the Son were not distinct individuals, such a prayer would have been meaningless. Jesus would have been praying to himself, and his will would of necessity have been the Father’s will.)
1 Cor. 11:3: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven. So the truth here stated applies to the relationship between God and Christ in heaven.)
Jesus said in prayer: “Father, . . . this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:1-3, RS; italics added.) (Most translations here use the expression “the only true God” with reference to the Father. NE reads “who alone art truly God.” He cannot be “the only true God,” the one “who alone [is] truly God,” if there are two others who are God to the same degree as he is, can he? Any others referred to as “gods” must be either false or merely a reflection of the true God.)

The Bible is clear Jesus is not AlmightyGod Jesus is the Son of the Almighty! I could go on but I think this should be enough!

Answer 2

Personally, I can't get my head around the fact that some people say God came to the earth & died for us. Sure, Jesus did die, but God couldn't have died because that would mean God would have been out of existence even for a short while and I don't think that's possible. God can't die. Just my opinion. I like things to make sense. God wants us to understand about him and it makes sense to me that he can't be Jesus on that fact alone.

Answer 3

Go to this site and put in your question in the search box, or just type in the search box "Who is Jesus". When you have read the truth about this, then put in "Can God die"?

Hint: Jesus was along side his father in heaven who volunteered to come to earth to carry out an arduous task that no other imperfect man could do. Jesus remained perfect throughout his 33.5 years living here in the earth. He had to die in order to fulfill the task by his Father, Jehovah God.

You will get more answers at the site below. You cannot just come onto this site and "BOOM"!! All your questions be answered. It takes your own personal study and research for "You" to come to an accurate truth about Jesus, and God's word, the Bible...and, everything in the earth and God's purpose for mankind and the future.

To answer your last question, God cannot die. It is sometimes perplexing for the novice one to comprehend but all we humans know is conception, beginning (being born) and then we start to die, and we do die.

Good luck and God Bless

Answer 4

This question betrays an earth-bound concept of the divine. It's understandable because humans are not divine. Yet Jesus was! Fortunately the rest of scripture answers your two questions.

Death only appeared to have mastered Christ when he died. Yet because he died sinless, Christ triumphed over the grave and conquered it, rising from it. (And he told his disciples that as he laid down his life, so he would take it up again - a divine prerogative! God also said he would raise Christ. The Holy Spirit, further, is said to have raised Christ. Triune theology there!) The Romans 6:9 statement needs to be seen in light of Revelation 1:18 & 2:8: "I am the First and the Last. I am he that lives. I was dead and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." "These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again." The Greek for 'mastery' in Rom 6:9 literally means 'lording over'. So, clearly, death could NOT lord it over Christ because Christ is Lord of EVERYTHING - including death! He has mastered it!

Your second Q shows you do not grasp the triune nature of God. The physical death of Christ does not cause the Godhead (i.e. God in his entirety) to die. One aspect of the Godhead - Christ in his humanity - dies physically for part of three days. Yet as Christ died, remember he cried out to God, "Into your hands I commend my spirit" and he then went to the spirits in prison before his physical resurrection. I hope this will help you reflect longer on the way in which God can - and did - die physically, whilst the Almighty God remained in control, sovereign, during that awesome event in history.

Charles Wesley expressed something of the awesome nature of this in his hymn, "And can it be". He wrote, "Died he for me, who caused his pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?... The immortal dies! Who can explore His strange design? Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more." It's beyond our ken. It should render us silent, except to worship and praise.

Answer 5

Have you ever seen back to the future? It is just the way the character has weaved it's and our existence. Basically the end form of the being resurrects it's jeopardized youth to become the end product that must travel back in time to save it's self. It is a paradox I know but that just one of the funny aspects of existence. I guess it is also sort of like that stuff they do on Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.

Yes and no to the question on whether God can die. Existence is extension and if extension were to become conscious of it's self and not like the shape it was extended into, it could change it, or it could not work out well and existence would just slip out of consciousness and settle back into a simpler form.it is sort of like dust clouds rising and falling back down and settling. God made man in his own image really means God made many in his own imagination. Basically we are God and we are dreaming, and we are sort of schizophrenic. But that is being worked on.

Answer 6

are you seeking knowledge, or just mocking people?

knowing that Christ having been raised from the dead, dies no more. death has no more dominion over him.

Look at Luke 18, and understand that a whole lot of people who had been praying for a major messiah, got a majorly Jewish answer---a guy who rode into jerusalem on a freaking donkey and got tortured to death.

Think around this whole thing, and it might---maybe just might---make some sense to you. Or---just keep throwing crap out there---it will stick to something.

Answer 7

Jesus was God in the flesh (this means that God's Holy Spirit was made flesh) and flesh dies....Okay one down Now for the last one can God die? No how can eternal die

Answer 8

‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’
View # 1: The Trinity is the Godhead comprised of Three SEPERATE distinct persons. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Ghost etc. All are Co-Equal, Co-Eternal. All are God.Baptism in name Father, Son, Holy Ghost.
View # 2: The Trinity is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost who are distinct from eachother in their Function but are NOT SEPERATE 3 Persons ut ONE. All are the One God in three MANIFESTATIONS. Their is One True God. Baptism in name Father, Son, Holy Ghost
View # 2 is very close to my belief except i believe in Baptism in Jesus name.
