    Maybe not intentionally, but you can't escape that conclusion. Which death is it from which we are saved? Obviously not physical death.

    Which judgment was it that He bore? Obviously not the earthly judgments. Whatever is sown is what is reaped.

    The death from which we are saved is the Second Death, and the judgment from which we are saved is the eternal judgment.

    That is what is signified by Paul's use of the phrase "the Cross." It's metonymy. He doesn't mean there is anything about the location or wooden tree. He is referring to the concept signified by it, which is the curse and punishment reserved for sinners.

    All Christ had to do was die. I will let the rest of you qualify die for I do not believe that is necessary. Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
    Course I could list many. He also had to be given life again by being raised or the dead in Christ would be without hope just like all others.

    For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep (dead) in Christ are perished.

    Why, because if Christ is not raised he also is perished. (Death the wages of sin)

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    The Word was made flesh. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God, but did empty himself.

    The form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,

    The sinless one Christ died for our sins.

    "Even the death of the cross."

    Ignominy of the Cross was not its physical torture, torturous as it was. The ignominy was its curse. No, Christ did not simply have to die. A death by stoning would not carry with it the curse. He had to die the death of the Cross.

    The word even in Philippians 2:8 carries much significance, even the death of the cross. Called the shame of the cross in Hebrews 12:2.

    I totally agree with you.

    Being Christ died for our sins.

    Being this also is the word of God: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

    Does this judgement take place at death or some future time?
    I charge therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

    And Peter said David was speaking of the dead Christ here. that his soul was not left in hell,(Hades, the realm of the dead. Could be the grave, the sea, cremated, outer space if there have been astronauts lost that way, where the dead are Hades)

    Have the dead been already judged to the degree that the named person has received his ultimate reward good or bad?

    There would be no purpose for the resurrection if it is the body rather than the person that is being resurrected because the person, Larry, Curly or Mo is going to have: For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: Larry, Curly and Mo will be resurrected and given a body.

    It was the soul Jesus that was raised from Hades and neither did his flesh see corruption, yet why did Mary not know who he was? Why did the two on the road not know him? Did his house look different?
