What was the true price of attonement?
As some of our atheist brothers will point out (as does the bible) Jesus was killed and on day three He was resurrected, So what is the big Deal?
My question is if this is indeed the extent of the cost of our attonement, what is the big deal? Or is there more to the story? Does did our attonement cost Christ More than just his physical life only to be resurected on Day three?
In Passages like John 1:1 we know Christ to be God. It is explained that through Christ sacerfice we will have our sins forgiven in passages like john 3:16. Then the death bural and resurection happens, which in of itself does not align with what Jhn 3:16 says. "God so loved the world that He gave his only Son.." If His Son is resurrected then how did God give Him?
I thought about it for a while, Then the meaning of the passages like the ones found in luke 22 and Mark 16, acts 2 dawn on me. (32 So Jesus is the one God raised from death. We are all witnesses of this. We saw him. 33 Jesus was lifted up to heaven. Now he is with God, at God’s right side. The Father has given the Holy Spirit to him, as he promised. So Jesus has now poured out that Spirit. This is what you see and hear. 34 David was not the one who was lifted up to heaven. David himself said,
‘The Lord God said to my Lord:
Sit at my right side,
35 until I put your enemies under your power.[e]’ )
Now take that and align it with what Joh 1:1 says:
"In the beginning the Word Was with God and the word was God..."
Now (post resurection) the 'word' sits at the right Hand of God. (Granted the Right hand of God is the seat of power and of authority) But before all of this Jesus was God.(He occupied the center seat, not the one to the right) Now (post resurection) there is a clear seperation between God and Resurected Jesus...
Is this the cost of our salvation? Was Christ 'demoted' to Hand of God (Game of Thrones style) rather than being God Himself after the resurection?
I'm not here to argue this point, as I said I was answering questions and found myself asking along side an atheist brother What was the big deal, and this is the answer I was given over to..(Which is indeed a pretty big deal, God so loved us that He Gave His only Son and that Son literally Gave his deity for us..) I wanted to see what the shark tank thought of it. (Again I'm just asking a question)
