Can divinity experience death and mortality? Did Jesus rise on Easter or 40 days later?

Jesus took the form and limitations of mortality upon Him when  He descended from the Heaven. On the cross, He was Jesus the Mortal Man, not Jesus, God.\n\nYour question is rather interesting. My best answer is that Jesus is a part of God. What we call 'God' is God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit of God.\n\nJesus didn't die on the cross, He simply went to Hell, as everyone else did in those times. What we call 'Death' is nothing more than leaving this life and passing into the other. We are not erased from existence. \n\nSo Jesus wasn't erased from existence, He went to Hell to defeat Satan and free the virtous, by forgiving them of the Ancestral Sin.

Easter has nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is pagan sun worship. Read Ezek 8:16 this is talking about Easter Sun worship! God calls it an abomination. Jesus didn't resurrect on Easter Sunday Morning. I challenge anyone to prove it to me! When you email me make sure I can email you back if your not afraid of the truth! \n  Passover: read Revelation 13:8. The passover is a memorial of the death of Jesus Christ who died for our sins. Easter is Satans counterfeit. Read Matthew 26:26-28. Jesus gave Christians new symbols for the passover the bread and the wine. Read 1St Corinthians 11:23-26 Jesus was killed on the passover. Why is it that Christians want to keep Easter which is not commanded in all the bible, but don't take much thought in what Jesus said to do to remember Him, a memorial of His death. The Passover.

Excellent question.  But unfortunately, I have yet to hear a good answer.  God the Almighty Creator doesn't even blink for a second, nonetheless die.  If this were true and God died on the cross, then ALL existance would cease.\n\nHere's what makes the trinity questionable:  If you have a creature (i.e. a created being), and a third of that creature dies while the other two-thirds are still alive, then that creature hasn't really died.  All parts would have to die for the creature to be considered dead.  \n\nSo if this applies to a created being, how can it not apply to the Creator?  If a third of God dies, but the other two-thirds are still alive, then that third didn't really die; especially when he's resurrected within a number of hours.\n\nThe fact is that death in itself is a creation.  Therefore the dimension of death cannot be applied to an infinite entity which exists outside the realm of all creation.  i.e. No creator, or any part of a creator, dies.\n\nWhat does that mean anyways?  What does it mean that a third of God has died???  This can only indicate that the trinity is not true; it's merely a pagan practice that has filtered down to blemish the noble message of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).  (see link below)\n\nFor those who say angels, well who was sustaining the angels in God's absence?  Did you really hear yourself say that??

This is how I was saved:\n\nVirgin Birth - Was it a preconceived notion?\n\nWhat is the Imacculate Conception?\n\nAn Imacculate Deception?\n\nDid Jesus give up Saturday for us?\n\nJesus? Christianity? .\n\nIf Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.\n\nGods do not die? Do they?\n\nIf Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed? \n\nIf Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.\n\nIf Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead! \n\nIf you swallow this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to swallow it too. \n\n\nThey want everyone to convert to their non-thinking.

It amuses me at how many people will justify celebrating a pagan holiday and still claim to be christian.\n\nThe Easter egg has nothing to do with the death of Jesus but was a fertility symbol.\n\nJesus was not born in December but end of September start of October.\n\nEven the stories that the churches teach regarding the birth of Jesus are not accurate. The wise man did not turn up on the night Jesus was born but some time after.\n\nA true christian would not celebrate anything to do with false religion.

Christian were first establish about 24 days after Christs death.  In the same city that they crucified him...  They realized that he was the true messiah when he raised from the dead... they had seen him do miracles.... that they had seen the signs and wonders... and had seen that Christ fulfilled every old Testament prophesy.  So.. they became his followers even after his death and resurrection.

No.  The way to heaven is through the beleif that Jesus came to the earth and died for your sins and was risen 3 days later.\n\nHell is the result of lack of God and heaven.

Yes. You see, in order to die, he had to fully become mortal, and in becoming mortal, we forget our true divine nature.  Thus, he forgot that he was god and he died.  The Bible is a great novel, isn't it?

Definitely:\n\nMany noted critical historians, such as Shaye Cohen, John Dominic Crossan, Paula Fredriksen, John Meiers, E.P. Sanders, and Geza Vermes argue that Jesus lived from about 8-4 BC/BCE to 29-36 AD/CE. The main sources regarding his life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels from the New Testament, which took written form some decades after his death. They depict him – among many other things – as a Jewish Galilean preacher and healer who was at odds with the Jewish religious authorities , and who was crucified outside of Jerusalem during the rule of the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate. After his death numerous followers spread his teachings, and within a few decades Christianity emerged as a religion distinct from Judaism.\n\nBeyond the historical information accepted by most secular scholars, the gospels make various additional claims about Jesus: that Jesus was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible); that he was the son of God; that his birth by Mary was virginal; and that after his crucifixion he rose from the dead, and then ascended into heaven. Most Christians hold that the Gospels also attribute divinity to Jesus; however, others hold that the Gospels are equivocal on the subject. Many Christians and some scholars believe that the accounts in the New Testament are historical facts, though others maintain that different parts have different degrees of accuracy, and a few hold Jesus did not exist at all.

1 day and 2 nights. Went in Friday afternoon, was gone by Sunday morning.\n\nIf he was dead for that long his body would have swelled up to an enormous size within that frame of time. Therefore, the resurrection was tihsllub

I'd like to add to your question.  The fact the Jesus (peace be upon him) was supposedly resurrected, doesn't that negate the fact that he died ??  I mean, if he's alive in Heaven, then he is not really dead for our sins.  I'm confused...

Ask nicely and get a better answer!!!  Anyway I am still gonna answer because it is fairly easy.\nJoh 11:11  These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. \nJohn 11:12  Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. \nJohn 11:13  Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. \nJohn 11:14  Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. \n1Th 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. \nWhen a man is dead, God considers him to be only sleeping as God can make him alive again as if he were awaking from sleep.  The truth is that a soul never dies, so you are asleep to here, but alive to God.  \nJohn 11:25  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: \nTHIS IS WHY CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION, BUT ABOUT A MAN JESUS He is the resurrection and the life.  Its about Jesus.

I believe Scripture that He was in the tomb for 3 days & 3 nights. Even though we don't know exactly when the Resurrection occurred - when the disciples got to the tomb Sunday morn, it was already empty... it probably occurred about when the Sabbath rest ended Saturday at sunset & probably before midnight Saturday night. It is convoluted theology to expect that God would wait past midnight to schedule the resurrection on Sunday - the pagan day of worship - God has never tolerated anything pagan mixed in with His worship. The reason Christians worship on Sunday is because Emperor Constantine (practicing pagan until he was baptized on his death bed) decreed that the Sabbath must be desecrated in the Roman Empire and that Sunday would be the day of rest & worship for all, no matter what their religion. His decree called it "the venerable day of the sun god" & made NO mention of God, Jesus, Christ, Resurrection... or anything Christian. And his puppet Pope, Sylvester, rubber-stamped all of Constantine's heresies.\n\nCounting back from sunset on Saturday, you get a Wednesday Crucifixion! He would have been in the tomb Wed sunset to Thurs sunset (1st full nite & day), Thurs sunset to Fri sunset (2nd full nite & day), & Fri sunset to Sat sunset [THE SABBATH] (3rd nite & day).\n\nThere are many references in the NT to believers (i.e. "followers" of the Messiah & His Way) meeting on "the first day of the week"... which starts right after sunset on Saturday! One of the references is that Paul preached until midnight on the first day a the week - it doesn't say to droned on for 24 hours, or for even 12 hours (or whatever) on Sunday, he preached from after sunset to midnight on Saturday.

God bless you Ben, and thank you for sharing.  I have have a Christian for 27 years.  I asked Jesus into my heart, the day my father died in 1979.  He died 6 days before Christmas and 9 days before my 20th birthday.  You definitely are in my prayers.  May God bless you as you continue to seek and learn of God.\n\n\nRobin
