Was JESUS Dead? - Herbert W Armstrong - October 1951

Herbert W Armstrong

It is revealed that Jesus was "Emmanuel" - that is, "God with us" - GOD in the human flesh. He was both God and man. He was divine, as well as human. Can God die? Was Jesus really dead, or did only his body die? Was Jesus the Divine One - the second person of the Godhead - alive during the three days and three nights His body was in the tomb? Here is a brief, pointed answer. This is a question that has perplexed millions. It is an enigma that has never been made clear and plain to many minds. Yet the Scriptures give us a plain revelation, in plain, simple words - if we can believe the Scriptures - which is to believe they mean exactly what they say, instead of what men by twisting and wresting try to make them say. We read: "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures." I Cor. 15:3. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
