By being raised from the dead, you silly goose!

Not me, the author. Besides, that's hardly "prolonging" the days of someone who is to live forever from the beginning, you silly goose. You don't really think the divine Jesus really died, do you?

Sure I believe it. “Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” “The wages of sin are death”, but Christ was the perfect sinless man, the true God in Flesh and only by the death of a perfect sinless man could the balance be restored and the power of sin and death be broken over all men. Adam sinned and the curse of death was extended over all men....Christ died and rose again, thus allowing God to lift the curse of sin over all men who would put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. There is a “rebalancing” and restoration of order that began with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It comes down again to personal faith....whether you believe it or not. Since you view your self as agnostic in the matters of God, I suppose it remains an open question for you! For me Christ the devine, died so that God’s divinity could then be extended to unregenerated men...”To as God...” So apparently God grants power to those who believe him to attain unto salvation and Christ likeness. The proof in the pudding is the testing of that premise...perhaps you’ll test that some day, perhaps you feel you have tested it...I don’t know your life!
