As Trinitarians we believe in the pre-existence of Christ as the eternal Word, existing with the Father from eternity past. During the incarnation His spirit had to come down from heaven and enter his earthly body in the womb of Mary. Was that spirit destroyed when He died on the cross. Was their a time when God the Son was truly dead?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

He was not "dead" as we think of it. Instead he was separated from the Father and the Holy Spirit and every created being in the entire universe. He experienced the fullness of the second death, but still he was also able to come back to life.
This is a mystery that cannot be fully comprehended.

Well, He is said to have risen from the dead - no one here has ever been there, so I wouldnt argue with this one. So I think He was actually dead - the state of the dead, however, is the one we do not know anything about - so we can only make intelligent guesses - and try to convince others about things that we dont really have any experience in - and lucky we are
