Discuss Ol' Yeddar's answer to: Is the death of a God/Jesus illogical?

Did Jesus really die for our sins when he did not really die? You know the story. Jesus was a son of god-human hybrid in that he was God disguised as a male Carpenter of the 1st Century who dies for ...

Ol' Yeddar Answered:

Wait a minute.

It is not illogical whatsoever. I will endeavor to explain.

GOD is an eternal being, without beginning and without end.

Man is a created being, with a beginning and with a physical end.

GOD became man in the person of Jesus. Jesus died, but GOD didn't. Therefore GOD raised Jesus up after the third day so He wouldn't stay dead. It doesn't look good when a god stays dead, you know.

See? Very logical. Nice and neat.

No loose ends here!

If you want a god that exists within the confines of SpaceTime and follows its laws, I will give you Castro, Mao, Stalin, Vlad, or Elvis. I am tempted to name some presidents, but far be it from me to want to create any firestorms.

It really sounds to me like you are trying to disprove the existence of an omnipotent being by limiting his powers.

I hope that you get a laugh out of the picture. There is no hidden message other than I believe in GOD and I really can't explain everything there is about him.

Just in case GOD is out there. Somewhere.

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of us and loving us tonight Somewhere out there if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true

I ask that He bless you and keep you.

And I wish you well.

Keep close to Nature's heart... climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.* Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.*One of the widest gaps in human experience is the gap between what we say we want to be and our willingness to discipline ourselves to get there.
