You are missing the point.  My last post was not about hermeneutics but was
a response to and refutation of your claim that it is impossible for the
Christian God to die.  As the Gospels and the Nicene Creed make clear, not
only is this not impossible, but it actually happened!  Now, of course, if
you are not a Christian, then you do not have to believe this.  You may
think it a bunch of mumbo jumbo.  Fine.  I am not trying to get you to
accept the tenets of Christianity.  I am merely trying to make it clear
that what you claimed about Christian theology is false.  You claimed that
according to Christian Theology God cannot die.  This is simply false.
That's all I was trying to articulate in my last response to you.
