Crucifixion and Resurrection

[Jazzy]

What is the theological significance of Jesus’ death on the cross?

What evidence do we have for the resurrection of Jesus?

 

[Lamb]

The death and resurrection of Jesus are the key to salvation and we are assured by scripture that we are forgiven because of Christ's death and resurrection. Those who have faith in Him will have eternal life.

 

[Odë:hgöd]

What evidence do we have for the resurrection of Jesus?

There's plenty of biblical evidence but it's inadmissible because that would be akin
to acquitting a criminal defendant based upon him saying he didn't do it.

Unfortunately, although there's plenty of biblical evidence, there is no empirical
evidence.

"Jesus saith unto him: Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:
blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." (John 20:29)

What is the theological significance of Jesus’ death on the cross?

● Gen 3:22 . . .The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.

The man became "like" one of us, which is different than becoming one of us. In other
words: the man became a tin God (Psalm 82) and his conscience-- which at one time
had the potential to be perfect in every way --is now a fallen conscience.

Point being: the Levitical system per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy
specifies a number of sacrifices and offerings for a man's behavior, but none of its
rituals address the corruption inherent within the human conscience that came about by
means of the forbidden fruit incident; not even Yom Kippur (Heb 9:9) whereas the cross
of Christ does. (Heb 9:14 & Heb 10:22)
