FAQ: Why do so many conventional Christians insist it is necessary to
believe Jesus' crucified dead body was restored to life?
REPLY: None of the Old Testament sacrifices were restored to life. Their
bodies all remained deceased: some of them were even used for food, and
the remains of others were incinerated outside the camp. So it's logical to
expect that Jesus' body would remain deceased.
However; every resurrection recorded in the Bible-- both the new testament
and the old --restored people's dead human body to life. But there is
another matter of far greater consequence to consider.
● Rom 4:25 . . He was delivered over to death for our sins, and was raised
to life for our justification.
The first half of that verse speaks of Isa 53:6 which reads like this:
"We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
and The Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
But although Jesus' crucifixion satisfies justice for people's iniquity, the
people remain guilty; similar to when speeders pay a fine for going too fast.
Their payment satisfies justice for speeding, but the broken law stays on the
books. In other words: a paid fine clears no one of the crime.
The second half of Rom 4:25 speaks of justification-- translated from the
Greek word dikaíoosin which basically pertains to acquittal: defined as an
adjudication of innocence due to a lack of sufficient evidence to convict.
In other words: Jesus' crucified dead body had to be restored to life to make
it possible for sinners to be granted exoneration. Were Jesus' body to
remained deceased, nobody would get past the books spoken of by Rev
20:11-15 where the losers will be subjected to a mode of death akin to a
foundry worker falling into a kettle of molten iron.
* Were I the Devil, I would make it my mission in life to invalidate Christ's
physical resurrection because by means of its acceptance sinners have the
opportunity to be cleared of all wrong-doing from first to last. Failure to
believe his crucified dead body was restored to life will result in people's loss
of the one God-given opportunity to wipe the books; and thus they'll remain
on a direct path to the wrong side of things even though their iniquity was
forgiven by means of Christ's crucifixion.
● 1Cor 15:17 . . If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are
still in your sins.
Pop Clock Update: 4,605 days have elapsed since beginning the thread. If
the figures in post No.1 are within reason, then something like 253,717,080
new arrivals have checked into the fiery sector of Hades since Apr 12, 2012.
