If God cannot die then how can Jesus be God?

Answer 1

Bethybug;

It is truly amazing what people have been taught and what they believe.
“He then transcended it and raised himself from the dead. I think it's a beautiful belief.” (A partial quote from one of the answers to this question)
Christ the Only Begotten Son of God was DEAD, totally dead!
Christ did not nor could He have raised Himself from the grave because He was dead.
It was the Father that raised Christ from the Grave. Give the One True God the Glory for what He did, give the praise to whom it belongs.

Romans 6:4 “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
The preachers today will have much to answer for in the judgement!

Christ is not God. He has the name of God yes, for He is the Son of God and the Father gave His Son a very special name.

God, the One True God cannot die for he is immortal and cannot die. His Son however is not God and He did in fact die, and was slain from the foundations of the earth. And His Father raised him from the dead.

If Christ did not totally die on the cross, then you have only a mere man. And a mere man died for our sins in order to save us. There is no man that is good enough to save even himself by his death. It would be only a human sacrifice and nothing else.

The God that I love and serve allowed His Only Begotten Son to die, to be separated from His Father to die a most horrible death, to be nailed to a tree and to die an agonizing death to save any human that would believe on the Son of God that they might be saved.
The Father watched the things that where done to His Divine Son, God allowed His Son to go through what He went through and to die because He loves us and He made a way for our escape from the snares of Satan, that we might also have everlasting life.

The price for my salvation the cost for my sinning against the Law of God was the Son of God dying the death that I should have died.
The price was so high that only the death of His Only Begotten Son could ever cover the debt that is owed for transgressing the Law of God.
Another God dying for my sins could never have covered the debt because another God would not have been all that special. Another God would not have been as dear to the Almighty God as the Almighty God’s own Son.
The Almighty’s Son could have only covered the price of the debt and nothing else could satisfied the debt so that there could be no question to the debt that is owed has been paid in full and that the Almighty God truly loves His creation.



There is more that can be said.

Answer 2

Jesus did not die in spirit, his body died. This was intentional. What greater act of love could God do than suffer for us?

Beth, don't worry about this. There are many verses in the bible showing Jesus is different than God, but many verses showing Jesus is God, so it's a concept that us humans can't comprehend. If we try to believe Jesus was God completely (not the Son of God), the bible shows us Jesus praying to the Father, so that wouldn't be right. If we try to believe that Jesus is Not God, that he is only God's
Son, we have problems there too because of:

"I am in the Father and the Father is in me"
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God" = Jesus is God.

So we have to believe the in between: Jesus is different in some ways than the Father, but yet the same in Spirit.

Answer 3

you have no answer, yet God does. There are 4 debts the place the Gospel of Mark dates around 50-60 A.D. beforehand the destruction of the Jerusalem in 70 A.D. As for Jesus dying. Mt 27:40 5-fifty six; Mk 15:33-40-one; Lk 23:40 4-40 9; Jn 19:29-30. Jesus is obviously lifeless and buried. As for Jesus resurrection: Mt 28:a million-8; Mk sixteen:a million-8; Lk 24:a million-10; Jn 19:38-40 two. for sure God raised Jesus from the lifeless. As for the Trinity: Mt 28:sixteen-20. Key factors are: in verse 17 rather use the observe "worship" and in verse 19 the observe call, no longer names, is used to tell apart father, son and holy spirit. If the text textile meant 3 gods, the observe "call" desires to be plural.

Answer 4

‘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 from 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.’

Answer 5

Jesus was not God and never claimed to be any more thann the rest of us .Dur ring the time he spent on earth he was not yet a Master of Wisdom and thereforewasnot entitled to a resurrected body of light. Jesus became a Master of Wisdom during his incarnation as Apollonious of Tyanna.

Answer 6

Good thinking. Jesus isn't God. He is his son. God can't die, and the word trinity isn't in the bible. Despite Jesus himself saying God was both his God and his father. The fact that words in the King James Version of the bible are in red and attributed to Jesus, doesn't mean God put them in red, man did. Revelation 5:9-13 clearly shows that Jesus is not God: "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation" And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands: Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

So it is clear God sits on the throne, and the Lamb does not. It is clear the Lamb was slain to redeem us to God. The bible tells us that Jesus sits at the right hand of God. It is clear the Lamb became worthy with his actions, God was and has always been worthy.

Answer 7

Well the gospel of John begins with "in the beginning was the WORD (who is God/Jesus)......and the Word became flesh"

so basically Jesus was God and he always has been God but he came down as a man and men can die....but see wat makes the whole story so special is that yes Jesus is God and yes he did die, but because he is God he ROSE from the dead and defeated death..

no mere man can do that. only God can do that. only JESUS can do that

Answer 8

Jesus was in the flesh when he died. It says in Ephesians, that he descended to earth. For us.

Eph 4:9-11
(What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
NIV

Answer 9

God doesn't exist. When I went to mexico the guy who was working the counter's name was Jesus pronounced hasoose.

Answer 10

Jesus was a man when his flesh died.He did this so that whoever believes in him will be saved.Also to show us that we are not only flesh but spirit to.That when our flesh dies we do not die but are transform into a new body .
