I did not post 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 ... that was your doing.
Yes, although it seems you may have missed the context.
My previous reference was/is 1 Corinthians 1:17-20
Which I addressed in context. However, an execution-stake that has long since rotted away has no power on its own. It was an instrument of torture and execution, not something that needs to be revered. Giving that instrument reverence is like giving reverence to the nehushtan. No one denied that looking at the bronze serpent afforded healing of the affliction of the children of Yisra`el, but no one who is discerning would say that the source of the healing was some fashioned piece of metal.
It's the message of what happened on that cross - and why, and how, and what for, and by Whom - that has importance, not the cross itself. The message has power, in concert with all else contained in the glad tidings of the Kingdom.
