And I'll add a third agreement with my two brothers here! (Plus, while Christ is in the heavens, as the Spirit He also lives in His body here on earth.) Does that satisfy your questions?

How are you at accepting answers? My answer to your questions is :- Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. A third question is, where did your questions come from? What caused you to think they were valid questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that makes sense. I guess I already kind of know the answers but I might have thought it would help to have someone answer the questions.

For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.

As I said there is no problem in asking questions. You believe and trust in Jesus, that you don't retain all the answers is no a problem. Sometimes it takes an awful lot more repetition to remember something, keep working at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Jesus died for our sins. He so suffered and died for us because He loves us. And Jesus is God's very own Son, who did this for us. So, Jesus is not at all conceited! And God wants us to follow the example of how Jesus was loving while on the cross > "And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." (Ephesians 5:2) So, Jesus dying for us is not only a belief, but an action of the gospel for our salvation, plus our example of how to love.
