Re: Religion Thread: ...and suddenly, everyone's a theology scholar
I'm a terrible person to try to offer an opinion on this - but of course, I'll try anyways.
For those on the literal side of the equation, it depends. It depends on how you define 'alive'. If alive is defined as alive in a humanistic way, then all evidence is that he's not alive. If you define it as his spirit, then he's apparently alive.
But for me, he's definitely alive - and not due to the creed stuff. This is because of simple algebra. God is love and God is the Word and the Word was made flesh in Jesus. By definition, Jesus is very much alive via the Word as He and God are channeled through people doing good deeds via inspiration. Frankly that's the alive that matters.
