Salvation is found THROUGH the cross, not Jesus forever dead hanging on the cross.
Jesus DIED. He rose from the dead.
The cross is empty because His work is FINISHED. He’s not still dead hanging on the cross forever.
He’s risen, glorified, and seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven now.
If your Jesus is still hanging on the cross, dead, then He was not buried, He is not risen, and He did not conquer death.
Your argument is with the Scripture that you claim your church wrote. And I think that Saint Paul is a better theologian than any lay Catholic.
St. Paul said that he would always preach Christ, and Him crucified.
When Paul wrote those words, Jesus had been taken down from the cross, buried, and had risen again.
Yet Paul said he would ALWAYS preach Christ crucified.
When Catholics put up an image of Christ crucified, they are, LIKE PAUL, preaching Christ crucified.
They are not morons, and therefore they don’t believe the moronic notion that Christ IS STILL ON THE CROSS.
