You are wrong.
Your evidence is all wrong. Jesus couldn't have survived His death on the
cross.
Firstly, you argue that Jesus couldn't have died
because one who was crucified on the cross was cursed by God. This is exactly what
happened to Jesus. He was forsaken by God. Before He died, he cried out with a loud
voice saying "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This is direct proof that Jesus
had been cursed by God. Because Jesus was both God and man, he was able to take the
curse upon Himself, because He was man.
Secondly, you argue
that the blood of Jesus gushed forth. The detail you have missed is that blood
and water gushed out of Him. If Jesus had been alive, this would
have only been blood, but because He was dead, His blood had separated. It was also
impossible for him to have lived, because they pierced his side with a spear, and had
broken His legs, meaning He couldn't breathe.
In addition,
before He died, Jesus said to one of the crimminals beside Him, that 'today you will be
with me in paridise'. I don't call paridise a tomb. Paridise is heaven, and going to
heaven means you have died.
Jesus Christ did die. If He
hadn't, His sacrifice would mean nothing to us because He wouldn't have conquered sin's
hold over us.
