A Dead Jesus
Why does it matter if the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) rose again?
A dead Jesus has no power to cause the Children of Truth to live a righteous life, because that power comes from the resurrection of the Man of Truth (Romans 5:10-21). A dead Jesus has no power to cause the Children of Truth to live a life of obedience to the Father of Truth, because that power comes from the resurrection of the Man of Truth (Romans 6:3-11).
A dead Jesus has no power to make intercession for the Children of Truth (Romans 8:34). A dead Jesus has no power to nail the sentence of death for their sins to his cross, so that they could live again with the Father of Truth (Colossians 2:12-14). A dead Jesus has no power to help the Children of Truth, when they face temptation (Hebrews 2:16-18). A dead Jesus no power to save the Children of Truth to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:22-25). A dead Jesus has no power to be an advocate for the Children of Truth, if they sin (1 John 2:1).
A dead Jesus has no power to come back to the Earth for the Children of Truth from Heaven (1 Thessalonians 1:10). A dead Jesus has no power to bring the Children of Truth who have died, back to life, so that they can come back to Earth with him (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17). A dead Jesus has no power to appear a second time to bring salvation (Hebrews 9:26-28). A dead Jesus has no power to judge, both those who are alive, and those who have died, when he returns to the Earth (2 Timothy 4:1). A dead Jesus has no power to return to rule over the Earth, and make the Children of Truth into priests and kings, to rule with him (Revelation 1:5-7).
A dead Jesus has no power to fulfill what was written in the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) about the Messiah of Israel, because the Original Covenant said, that the Messiah of Israel would both die for the sins of others, and then rise from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
So it really does matter, whether or not the Man of Truth rose again. A dead Jesus is a powerless Jesus.
Those religious professionals, who advocate a dead Jesus, may appear to be godly, but they deny the power of the Man of Truth, that comes from the resurrection of the Man of Truth. The Children of Truth have been warned to turn away from such religious professionals, because they are rebels against the Father of Truth (2 Timothy 3:5-8).
These religious professionals have ignored the third act of the greatest play ever, the raising of the firstfruits, that plainly pictures the raising of the Man of Truth from the dead. This is what the Apostles of Truth taught, when they said, that the hope of the resurrection of the Children of Truth is based on the Man of Truth being the firstfruits, of those who will be raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20-23).
The Renewed Covenant plainly says, that the Father of Truth rose the Man of Truth from the dead, as witnessed by the Apostles of Truth (Acts 3:13-15). The resurrection of the Man of Truth from the dead, is basis of the authority of the Apostles of Truth, to declare that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel (Romans 1:3-5). The Apostles of Truth are false witnesses against the Father of Truth, if the Man of Truth did not rise from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:15). The entire Book of Truth is useless, if the Apostles of Truth have lied about the resurrection, because the faith of the Children of Truth, is built upon the witness of the Apostles of Truth, that the Man of Truth fulfilled, what was written about the Messiah of Israel in the Original Covenant (Ephesians 2:18-20).
Most of all it matters, that the Man of Truth rose from the dead, because no one can come into the House of Truth, by making the Man of Truth the Lord of their life, unless they first believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Come into the House of Truth!
Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Jehovah Witnesses, stated in his book, "Studies in Scriptures" (Vol. 5, 1899, p. 454), "The man Jesus is dead, forever dead". He also said in the final volume of that book (Vol. 7, page 57), "We deny that He was raised in the flesh, and challenge any statement to that effect as being unscriptural.".
He is hardly the only person to call himself a Christian, and yet deny the resurrection of Jesus, nor is this teaching limited to Jehovah Witnesses.
For example, a recent survey of clergymen in the Church of England, found that one third of these ministers deny the resurrection!
Those who call themselves Christians, but deny the resurrection, are spread far beyond Europe. In America, many speakers of the "Jesus Seminar", like Robert Funk and Marcus Borg, deny the resurrection. Desmond Tutu, who helped bring an end to apartheid in South Africa, also denies that the resurrection literally happened. These are among the many, who deny the resurrection of the Man of Truth, while calling for unity among everyone, who calls themselves Christians!
Their position is, that they can have unity with those who believe in the resurrection, because it simply does not matter, if the Man of Truth rose again or not. As far as they are concerned, a dead Jesus is just as useful as a living Jesus.
The reasoning of those who advocate a dead Jesus, is that it was the death of the lamb, that brought about the removing of the leaven. They argue that those, who have experienced the better Passover, have made cleansed from sin at the cross, and only need a dead Jesus to be saved. They argue that a dead Jesus, is all that people need to go to Heaven when they die. They point to the many things that the death of the Man of Truth accomplished on the cross, as proof that a dead Jesus is the only Jesus that people need.
The Book of Truth (The Bible) does say, that many things were accomplished by the death of the Man of Truth on the cross.
It says, that preaching the cross brings people to salvation (1 Corinthians 1:16-18). It says, that the Man of Truth came under the curse of the Father of Truth on our behalf, when he hung on the cross (Galatians 3:13). It says, that the Children of Truth should bring glory to what he did on the cross (Galatians 6:14). It says, that his death on the cross put an end to the enmity between Jews and Gentiles (Ephesians 2:13-16). It says, that his death on the cross demonstrated true obedience to the Father of Truth (Philippians 2:5-8). It says, that his death on the cross made it possible, for people to come into the House of Truth, and be reconciled to the Father of Truth (Colossians 1:19-22). It says, that he carried away our sins, when he suffered on the cross (1 Peter 2:21-24).
It says, that the blood that the Man of Truth shed on the cross, brought about the remission of sins (Romans 3:24-26). It says, that his blood brought about justification (Romans 5:6-9). It says, that his blood brought about forgiveness of sin (Ephesians 1:7). It says, that his blood brought about redemption (Colossians 1:14). It says, that his blood purges the conscience, of works that lead to death (Hebrews 9:14). It says, that his blood makes it possible, for the Children of Truth to boldly draw near to the Father of Truth (Hebrews 10:19-22). It says, that his blood sanctifies the Children of Truth (Hebrews 13:12). It says, that his blood cleanses the Children of Truth from all sin (1 John 1:7).
It says, that the death of the Man of Truth, brought deliverance from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) and the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15). It say, that his death was necessary to make the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) to be in effect (Hebrews 9:15-17).
Since his death on the cross, accomplished all of these things, those who advocate a dead Jesus say, that the Man of Truth did not need to rise again. So they argue, that a dead Jesus is the only Jesus that people need.
Even Pontius Pilate knew better than this. He had no problem, giving the body of the Man of Truth to Joseph of Arimathaea, when he asked for it (Mark 15:43-45). He knew that a dead Jesus was powerless to do anything.
A dead Jesus has no power to be the Lord of the Children of Truth, who are living on the Earth (Romans 14:9). A dead Jesus has no power to be the head of the Children of Truth, because the Man of Truth had to be the first one to be resurrected from the dead, in order to be the head of the Children of Truth (Colossians 1:15-18).
