What utter nonsense. So Jesus is still dying on that cross "present to us in time"? No wonder the Catholic Church keeps Jesus on that cross and Jesus as a baby in Mary's arms. What utter blasphemy. Christ died "once for all". Not continually throughout all time.

If your tagline kept going, it would probably end "...Jesus Christ, and him crucified"--not something like "...Jesus Christ, and him risen only," even though Paul knew perfectly well that Jesus wasn't still on the cross. All this is not to take any particular stance concerning the subject of your earlier discussion ("present to us in time"), but I always notice the missing words at the end of the tagline, and after some posts they're especially noticeable.
(Just a little earlier: "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God...For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.")
I tested something: although the available space for a tagline has disappointed me before, there is enough room to add those words. In this space, I can even either add quotation marks or write out "1 Corinthians," though not both. (Even so, "1 Cor." should suffice for a readership familiar enough with such abbreviations or at least savvy enough to check what it means. But if even I can recognize the verse, a citation shouldn't be strictly necessary.)
