Exploring the meaning of "life" and "death"

Sir:

Mark Chapter 8
[29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
[31] And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Assume, as a thought experiment, Elders and Rabbis, that
this man, Jesus, was in fact a pain in the side of
his elders at the time. Assume that one day
he suddenly stopped being an agitator and suddenly
agreed with EVERYTHING the Rabbi's said and did.
This would suddenly make the story of Jesus in
the gospels rather strange, for the gospels ARE
about the fundamental disagreement concerning how
to obey God's Law. Now go back to the reality,
which is that Jesus was an agitator against the
elders of Israel. Imagine that one day he
suddenly stopped agitating. For ten years.
In those ten years, is Jesus alive? If you,
therefore, think carefully my fathers, about
what the bible is saying, it is teaching that
Jesus IS his argument. Jesus IS the fight against
a bad interpretation. His very being IS
the agitation against an incorrect premise for
the Law of Moses. This is WHO Jesus is.

THEREFORE...

It is possible, for Jesus as defined, to "die"
and still be alive, since his life is itself
the fight against a bad law. So, if he
stopped fighting against a bad law, then he is
dead. But then what if the exact same fight
arose ten years after Jesus stopped fighting
it, after the death of "he who fought bad laws"
as Jesus is interpreted in Christianity? What
if it was another flesh, but it was the same fight,
the same agitation. Or even the same flesh.
Therefore, the spirit is the context for volition,
and so this is what Peter means when he says
Christ is put to death in the flesh, but quickened
in the spirit. This is one way in which resurrection
is contextualized, and for more on that see 1 Corinthians
15. The second way is by the power of God, when in God's
time--where a thousand years is exactly a day--God's judgment
is fulfilled through the resurrection of Christ. Again,
ignoring Israel today is folly, Elder Gaul, for again
the fight exists today, of Jesus himself--and possibly
even of the tribe of David--wherever a Jehovah's Witness
in Israel propounds a belief system that dilutes the Jewish
State of its legitimacy. Remember that being Jewish means
identifying with a specific religion, which Jesus updates.
Any living being today, of the tribe of David, who
agitates the fight of Jesus as was done 2000 years ago
is THEREFORE the resurrected Christ in this, the third
millenial day after the crucifixion. Christ didn't defeat
death by being resurrected as a spirit being to influence
men, but not as a human being who partakes in victory. The
book of the Revelation is CLEAR that JESUS partook in
the victory of resurrection, and I propose, sir, that
you are WRONG. Of the virgin birth, the miracles, the crucifixion,
the resurrection and the ascension, it is the crucifixion
you believe in and YET the POINT of Jesus' story is
that he conquered death. I'd rather question the crucifixion,
given the tone of the bible, than the resurrection. For all
mortals die, and there is doubt about it. The imperishable
body of the resurrected Christ, however, seems to me to be
a PHYSICAL body, but after a SYMBOLIC crucifixion as the
Freemason's do. I don't see WHY we would believe in the Christ
if we didn't believe in his physical resurrection, and if
you believe that his resurrection was of some symbolism, then
so in fact MUST be his crucifixion. Otherwise, consistency,
elder, is lacking. More to come.
