Subject: Did Jesus die spiritually? |
Bible Note: Graceful, "Acts 2.. thou will not leave His soul in Hades.." I believe that refers to the human soul of Jesus, as it would to our human souls, but not to Jesus' Divine essence which could not be lost for even a second with destroying the central doctrine of the Christian faith which is the Trinity. That being said, Jesus' experience of the wrath of God and his time in the grace is a divine mystery that can not be fully understood this side of eternity, but only "as through a glass darkly". A study of the doctrine of the "hypostatic union" is what is needed to understand why Jesus could not be separated from his Divine essence. I did post some passages from the catechism on this question, so I won't repeat them, although there is also more on the subject. Emmaus |
