Subject: Did Jesus die spiritually? |
Bible Note: Graceful, "If the Word says that Jesus Christ, the third person of the Trinity went into Hades, He did! And since the Trinity did not disipate, apparently the theology is wrong. Jesus, the Son of God, second person of the Godhead, went into Hades. And remained there three days! Then God the Father raised Him from the dead, because it was impossible that He should be held. "Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it" Apparently the theology is wrong about what? Who is disputing that Jesus decended to the dead? Who said the Trinity dissapted? Everyone is in agreement that Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity decended to the dead while his body was in the tomb. You were asking if He was spiritually separated from God the Father by his death on the cross. The answer is no, because it was that very spiritual oneness in the Trinity that allows the Resurrection and that oneness of spiritual substance is eternal and unbreakable. Jesus is one Divine Person with two natures; divine and human. Divine nature is purely (uncreated) spirit. Human nature is (created) spirit(soul) and body. Human nature suffers death when the soul and body are separated, which is what the Resurrection overcame. But God gave Adam and Eve something more than mere human nature. He gave them supernatural grace, which allowed them to share in his Divine nature and have a special relationship with Him. Sin also caused a spiritual death, which was the loss of that supernatural grace and the loss of man's special relationship with God. Jesus' Resurrection overcame physical death when He reunited his human soul with his body. But He also restored supernatural grace and our special realtionship with God by his death and resurrction, which is why Paul in Romans 6 speaks about us being baptized into the Body of Christ as restoring our relationship to God as his children which makes us partakers of the Divine nature 2 Peter 1:4. See also Romans 8 where Paul speaks of the spirit of God in us. There Paul is speaking of the supernatural grace of the indwelling Holy Spirit, not our natural human spirit or soul. I am finished with my input on this thread. The conversation is starting to get circular. Emmaus |
