Jesus overcame death. This is a cardinal, fundamental belief in Christianity. My first question was, why did God create us with mortality? Why do we have to die in the first place? Why did Jesus (the son of God, mind you) have to die, and then be resurrected? Could it be that's just what God had to work with, with the instability of organic compounds? Probably not, because I'd imagine that the creator of the world-and the universe-could overcome it. No, there's a reason personal to God here. According to the Bible, God did this because of Adam and Eve's disobedience by eating fruit from the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil"' and also, the "tree of life". It's vitally important, since this story comes right after God created Adam and Eve. Watch the video below for a thorough covering of these subjects.
