| Nov 20, 2022 at 20:59 | comment | added | curiousdannii | I was responding to this: "In Christian theology Jesus didn’t die". And you are wrong, most Christian denominations, the Chalcedonian ones, teach that God the Son did die in his human nature. You are the one misrepresenting Christianity, not me. | |
| Nov 20, 2022 at 20:57 | comment | added | Ted Wrigley | @curiousdannii: Sigh… Every Christian denomination teaches the Jesus died. None of them teach that God died. All Christian denominations teach that Jesus was resurrected, and now abides with God in heaven. You know this, you’re just ignoring it because it doesn’t serve your (temporal) interests. I don’t care if you want to attack Christianity, but if you’re going to do it with me, make more sense. | |
| Nov 20, 2022 at 20:33 | comment | added | curiousdannii | Find me any Christian denomination who teaches Jesus didn't die and I'd be amazed. There are many things that Christians disagree over, but that's not one of them. There is no doubt about it. From the Gospels, to the Apostle's Creed, to all the writings since, Christians have always taught that Jesus died. | |

| Nov 20, 2022 at 15:25 | comment | added | Ted Wrigley | @curiousdannii: I’m not as familiar with Islam as I am whith Christianity, but I believe it was Muhammad who ascended directly to heaven. Perhaps Jesus did too, in their faith? I also think you’re treating the beliefs of a particular Christian sect as though they were the beliefs of Christianity as a whole, which is an error. But in any case, the Tome of Leo helps me more than you here, since it seems to reiterate what I said. | |
| Nov 19, 2022 at 23:54 | comment | added | curiousdannii | It is Islam which teaches that Jesus didn't die and instead ascended directly to heaven. Could you have mixed that up? | |
| Nov 19, 2022 at 23:50 | comment | added | curiousdannii | The Tome of Leo says "The God who knew no suffering did not despise becoming a suffering man, and, deathless as he is, to be subject to the laws of death." Since the early church it has been good Christian theology to say that God the Son died. | |
| Nov 19, 2022 at 23:45 | comment | added | curiousdannii | Acts is absolutely considered the word of God, Christians believe all of the Bible is the inspired word of God. You are totally wrong: in Christian theology Jesus did die. And, because of the hypostatic union, it is right to even say that God the Son died, in his human nature. See Can orthodox Trinitarians say, "God died on the cross"? Can I humbly suggest that rather than saying you "wish more Christians grasped it properly" that they may already be doing so, and it is you who are mistaken about some things. | |
| Nov 19, 2022 at 23:29 | comment | added | Ted Wrigley | @curiousdannii: I don’t think the acts of the apostles are considered the word of God, but set that aside. No one debates the death of Jesus was part of God‘s plan. But the physical death of Jesus was not the same as the death of God. In Christian theology Jesus didn’t die, he ascended to heaven. Therein lies the difference | |
| Nov 18, 2022 at 23:56 | comment | added | curiousdannii | "He didn't plan his son's execution" The Bible is clear that it was God's plan. For example, Acts 2:23: "This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross." | |
