1 | Did Jesus die spiritually? | 2 Cor 5:21 | gracefull | 83248 | ||
To believe it was merely a physical death would have to mean that Jesus the God speprated from Jesus the man at the cross and Hesus the man descended into Hades. His physical body remained in the tomb until God raised Him. Isaiah 53:9 And HE made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in HIS death; because he had done no violence, nither was any deceit in HIS mouth." Who was HE? Jesus the Christ, the Word, the Son of God, that made His grave with the wicked... Remember..spiritual death is not the ceasaton of existence for the spirit, but rather the seperation from the Father. For us it would be eternal seperation, for Jesus it was 3 days. Jesus declared from the cross,"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me." Whether this seperation was for a minute or three days, Jesus/God was seperated from the Father, unless you beieve Jesus did not mean what He said. Persnally I believe these Words were literal. The fact is, regardless of the extent of His death, whether the extreme physical and emotional agony He suffered up to and on the cross at Calvary or the extended suffering of lose of His eternal connection with God the Father for the brief time He was in Hades...the faith in His death and ressurrection as saviour and Lord is the gospel! Neither of these is heretic, and neither deny the trinity. To believe God the Word, Jesus endured spiritual death which was seperation from the Father for the 3 days is to truly understand the love of God and the sacrifice of Jesus, the second Person of the Godhead. Oh what a price to pay for mankind, to experience the seperation from the Father whom He had been with forever...we can't emagine or comprehend the depth of that love.. From the heart God bless fran |

2 | Why before He died? | 2 Cor 5:21 | Morant61 | 83263 | ||
Greetings Graceful! May I ask a quick question about your view of Jesus' quote? If, by saying, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?", Jesus was referring to spiritual death in Hell, why does Jesus say this before He died? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Why before He died? | 2 Cor 5:21 | Spirit_of_Heaven | 83285 | ||
Brother Tim, I believe it was at that moment that Jesus bore every sin that had ever been or would ever be committed thus shutting him off from the light of His Father. He cried out to His Father in this single moment of darkness seeking unity with his Father. Spirit_of_Heaven |

4 | Why before He died? | 2 Cor 5:21 | Ray | 83296 | ||
Hi Spirit of Heaven, I was interested in your phrase "thus shutting him off from the light of His Father". Isaiah 53:11, "As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it [light] and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities." Isaiah 53:11, NKJ, "He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied." If Jesus felt forsaken, it was only for a moment for He knew what was being accomplished by rendering His soul as a guilt offering. Isa 53:10. He saw the light and was satisfied.
