Listen to 702 DZAS Kaliwanagan Kay Kristo (a segment of Tanglaw sa Landas ng Buhay of Back to the Bible Philippiness) every Tuesday and Thursday 7:00PM.
Ang argument na tutugunan natin ngayon ay ito: tao lamang si Kristo at hindi Diyos dahil sa John 19:30-33 namatay si Kristo.
- When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
Ang conflict na binubuo ng argument na ito arises from 1 Timothy 1:17 na nagsasabi na ang Diyos ay walang kamatayan --
- To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Una muna, para sa isang evangelical, born-again believer, ikaw ay maaring tumugon dito by affirming first and foremost ang hypostatic union the true nature of the person of Christ as it is deduced from Scripture. There is a divine and human nature that consists in the person of Christ. Iyon po ang kalikasan ni Kristo. Eto po ang pinaghahawakan nating mga mananampalataya. Ang full statement nito ay nasa Chalcedonian Creed na nagsasabi na atin daw
- ipahayag ang isa at Siyang Anak, ang ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, na Siyang ganap sa Pagka-Diyos at ganap din sa pagiging tao; tunay na Diyos at tunay na tao, na may kaluluwang may pag-iisip at katawan; kaisang-kalikasan ng Ama ayon sa Pagka-Diyos, at kaisang-sangkap natin ayon sa pagiging tao; katulad natin sa lahat ng bagay, walang pagkakasala
Pinagsumikapan yan ng ating mga ninuno base na rin sa mga malinaw na talata sa Bibliya na pumapatungkol na si Kristo ay tao at si Kristo na Anak ng Diyos ay Diyos. Ang ginawa ng malaking religious community dito sa atin ay tinalikuran nila ang katuruan ng Salita ng Diyos patungkol sa divinity ng Anak ng Diyos.
Pangalawa, is to affirm na totoong namatay nga si Kristo, pero ito yung nang ang "Son of God temporarily left the incarnate body whom the Son of God dwelt on earth." Subalit hindi po kamatayan ang nangyari sa divine nature ng Son of God.
Paliwanag ng GotQuestions.org --
- That answer depends on how we understand the meaning of the word die. To die does not mean to go out of existence. Death is separation. Physical death is when the soul-spirit separates from the physical body. So, in that sense, yes, God died, because Jesus was God in human form, and Jesus’ soul-spirit separated from His body (John 19:30). However, if by “death” we mean “a cessation of existence,” then, no, God did not die. For God to “die” in that sense would mean that He ceased to exist, and neither the Father nor the Son nor the Holy Spirit will ever cease to exist. The Son, the second Person of the Trinity, left the body He temporarily inhabited on Earth, but His divine nature did not die, nor could it.*
Idagdag pa natin na from GotQuestions.org --
- Jesus is truly God and truly man. His physical body did die; His heart stopped beating, and “he gave up his spirit” (Matthew 27:50). Just as our physical bodies will someday die, so did His. But as Jesus died physically, He remained alive spiritually. Jesus made good on His promise to the believing thief on the cross—He and the thief both went to paradise, not physically, but in spirit (Luke 23:43). So, Jesus died physically on the cross, as was plain for all to see (John 19:34). But there is also the matter of spiritual death. When Jesus was hanging on the cross, He experienced death on our behalf. Even though He is God, He still had to suffer the agony of a temporary separation from the Father due to the sin He bore. After three hours of supernatural darkness, Jesus cried, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34). So, could it be said that Jesus also “died” spiritually? Again, it was only His human nature that was separated from God, not His divine nature. God did not “die.”
As is often the case with dealing with INC, you do not have to concoct a new argument. Many times you will just affirm what they are affirming and use them as a support to your view of the hypostatic union. Ang support kasi nila na (1) ang Diyos ay hindi namamatay at (2) si Kristo ay namatay ay mga katotohanang atin ding pinanghahawakan. Kaso nga lang sa INC dahil unitarian sila, hindi nila ito makikita na bahagi ng paliwanag ng Trinitarian theology of the hypostatic union.
So habang pinaghihiwalay ito ng INC, nagagalak tayo kasi papalitan lang natin yung contradiction with consistence at ang biblical data natin ay sinupply na rin ng INC.
Isang napakaganda pong katuruan ng Christianity ang galing dito sa katotohanang ito ng kamatayan ni Kristo,
The question for all people to ask is “what will happen to my soul/spirit when it leaves my physical body?”
- This is the most crucial question in life. As we saw with Jesus, our spirits will leave our bodies and travel on to somewhere else. We will either follow Him to heaven to spend eternity with Him, or we will go to hell to spend eternity in “outer darkness” where there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 8:12). There is no other option. Jesus’ death on the cross paid the way for all who would ever believe in Him so that we can know for sure where our spirits will reside for eternity. His death provided us spiritual life, both here and in heaven. “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you” (Romans 8:11).
