The problem with your interpretation of Heb. 5:7 is, you falsely claim that Jesus was praying to the Father to avoid being crucified.
Man, you are one tough dude to communicate with.
Where did I say crucified? Rather than trying to put words in my mouth use your energies to ask questions of the Word.
Hebrews 5:7 is talking being saved out of death!
You should consider that He had to endure everything as an ordinary man, He couldn't cheat and use His divine power to avoid pain and suffering. He prayed as any ordinary man would, given His circumstances.
This is called running away with your own preconceived ideas...you have a bad habit of doing this.
Romans 6:9 is talking about
being released from the dominion of death.
I see what you are trying to force on the text, I think its obvious, but rather than taking this approach, try to understand the Apostles Gospel from their perspective!
If Jesus was
held under death dominion (Rom 6:9) and he is praying to be saved out of death
(Heb 5:7), one he knows he
must suffer - the question is; why was it important he have the same nature as you? What was achieved in Christ, in his death which required the Master to be as the Word teaches "born of a woman"
Gal 4:4 ?
I'm leading you to a conclusion Christian, one you might not like, but its the Gospel!
The death He had to suffer was not onto damnation as He was sinless and not guilty o any sin,
Correct, he didn't sin!
Jesus tells you emphatically he did!
"
I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of
Death and Hades (grave). Rev 1:18
I could say more on this but for now its important you understand this was a complete death.
God said "the soul that sins shall die" Notice that applies to everyone who has ever lived except for Christ, so no He could never die the first death let alone the second death.
No, God said he would "Therefore he says also in another psalm, “‘You will not let your holy one see
corruption.’
He died, he didnt stay dead...that the point!
Did God save His son?
Here are the quotes for you to check - Acts 2:24; Acts 3:15; Acts 4:10; Acts 5:30; Acts 10:40; Acts 13:30; Acts 13:34; Rom. 4:24; Gal. 1:1; 1 Pet. 1:21
I'm not sure what your driving at with Romans 6:9 Paul is simply stating the fact the resurrected body of Jesus is glorified and it cannot decay or physical death. This is to encourage born again Christians that we will be resurrected the the same body as He currently has.
Can you explain for me what the word
dominion means and how it related to Jesus?
6:9 We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery (dominoin) over him Rom 6:9.
I'll break it down for you
Fact 1. You have already read the Acts quotes, which showed you God (His Father) raised him from the
dead.
Fact 2. Jesus is never going to
die again (to imply he died!)
Fact 3.
Death no longer has dominion over him (
what happened?)
I've highlighted the word "death, die, dead" in the hope of you connecting the dots.
I want you to think about other verses which teach you about
his death and how that relates
to us.
The true Gospel centres our hope in his life, death and ressurection.
Many think they understand his life, very few understand his death, and so few understand his ressurection and how it relates to the true Gospel.
