Who Died on the Cross?
Who died on the cross?
In My Experience, only 1 in 10 Catholics know the correct answer
to this question!!!
Some Answers Given to that Question:
Which is the correct answer?
A1. Jesus Christ died on the cross?
Q1. Yes, but who is Jesus Christ?
A2. The human person of GOD died on the cross?
Q2. Was Jesus Christ a human person?
A3. The human nature of GOD died on the cross.
Q3. Is it the nature of a person that dies?
A4. The Son of GOD died on the Cross.
Q4. Yes, but who is the Son of GOD?
A5. GOD died on the cross.
Q5. You get the gold star. You
are the 1 in 10 who knows the truth.
A1 is technically correct, but there is more to the
correct answer.
A2 is wrong because Jesus Christ is not a human person.
Now you ask, "Well, didn't He have all
the characteristics of a human person except for sin?" Almost
right, except for one important point. Jesus Christ is a divine person,
and if He were a human person, that would make Him 2 persons, each with
a nature, one divine, and one human. He is a divine person with a
divine and a human nature, one person with 2 natures.
A3 is wrong because persons die on crosses, not natures.
A4 is again technically correct, but we are looking for more here.
A5 is right because Jesus Christ is a divine person, and persons die on
crosses, not natures. While dying in His human nature, Jesus Christ
was living in His divine nature, but the person died. Therefore, GOD
died on the Cross.
Kudos to all who chose A5...
