Jehovah's Witnesses and serious Bible students; Do you believe this?

Update:

Romans 5:8 "....Christ died for us." If you do, please explain why. If you do not agree, please explain why.

Update 2:

Perhaps I did not make clear the question. Did Jesus really die as the Bible says?

Update 3:

Perhaps the confusion comes from understanding what death is, the cessation of all life. Did Jesus die completely as God says? Or does God not tell the truth?

    I believe that Christ suffered and died for our sins so that we might have everlasting life on earth--a paradise earth.

    No more sickness, no more divorce, all the animals will be harmless, and our dead loved ones will be resurrected and given a chance to also live on that paradise earth.

    I believe it

    because that is what the Bible teaches

    and because I believe what the Bible teaches.

    2) Did Jesus die completely as God says?

    When did God say such a thing?

    I am unaware of any such statement from God.

    But...Christians believe that Jesus suffered the very same sort of death that all humans suffer: namely, the death of his mortal, human body.

    ONLY the death of his mortal, human body, not any other sort of death, not any supernatural sort of death.

    Yes, it is a wonderful provision that Jehovah set up for us, in fact, the moment sin took place in the Garden of Eden. He stated that his son Jesus Christ would come to earth, die a sacrificial death and this would open the way for life eternal in a Paradise Earth.

    Naturally, there is a lot more to it. In fact, it is tonight that the Memorial of Christ's death is observed. Some areas of the world it has already be observed. I am going to mine in a little bit. :) Hope you enjoyed yours.

    Some ask WHY did the first couple have to die? It was a test of obedience, and clearly they had everything, but it was Selfishness & Greed that came into the picture.

    This scripture is timely! "Death spread to all men because they had all sinned.—Rom. 5:12 ...see this article for an indepth explanation: (expecially the part Adam Lost Life for Himself and His Offspring) http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200002739?q=De...

    Yes, Jesus died. He did not exist. He had no consciousness at all.

    The New Testament is quite explicit that it does not consider physical death, as we experience it, the cessation of all life. Your "definition" is incompatible with the entire context,.You might as well try to interpret Pythagoras using a "definition" claiming a right angle measure 60 degrees.

    We believe he experienced physical death (and in a particularly nasty manner, too). We also believe that, as asserted throughout the New Testament, that event did not constitute a "cessation of all life."

    Actually the first gospel written, The Gospel of Mark, originally ends before Jesus died, and never says he rose from the dead.

    Isaiah 53 יא מֵעֲמַל נַפְשׁוֹ, יִרְאֶה יִשְׂבָּע--בְּדַעְתּוֹ יַצְדִּיק צַדִּיק עַבְדִּי, לָרַבִּים; וַעֲו‍ֹנֹתָם, הוּא יִסְבֹּל. 11 Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.

    יב לָכֵן אֲחַלֶּק-לוֹ בָרַבִּים, וְאֶת-עֲצוּמִים יְחַלֵּק שָׁלָל, תַּחַת אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱרָה לַמָּוֶת נַפְשׁוֹ, וְאֶת-פֹּשְׁעִים נִמְנָה; וְהוּא חֵטְא-רַבִּים נָשָׂא, וְלַפֹּשְׁעִים יַפְגִּיעַ. {פ} 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

    Jesus Christ is Lord

  • Jesus Christ died for all who would exercise faith in him and do his Father's will so that they may gain everlasting life.
