Ep 24 – How Could God Die?

Questions

How can our God allow himself to be killed?

• 1 Cor 1:23: but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles

• 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

• 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

If Jesus is God, can He really die?

Could the Resurrection and Ascension have been faked?
