Your position is taken from Satan's teaching, and you've made it your own.
You are damning your own soul each time you repeat such things, Melzzzzz.
If you are at all interested in the truth, study the Bible.

Here's what the Bible says about Jesus Christ (summary first, then passages):

Summary about Jesus:

     (1)  He was not found guilty.
     (2)  He was sentenced to die anyway.
     (3)  He was forsaken by God the Father on the cross (because God
          transferred the sin of all who would believe in Him past, present,
          and future to Him so He could become sin in our place).
     (4)  Jesus gave up the ghost voluntarily (He did not die from
          crucifixion, but chose to give up the ghost).
     (5)  On the third day He rose again.
     (6)  He was seen by many for 40 days until He was carried up to Heaven
          in a cloud, an angel stating He will return in the same manner.
     (7)  50 days after He rose from the dead, the day of Pentecost, God gave
          His Holy Spirit to men so that believers could have fellowship with
          God even while here on this Earth through the spirit.
     (8)  He communicates with Saul on the road to Damascus, calls him to be
          the one who takes the message to the gentiles (non-Jewish people).
     (9)  Jesus directly guides Paul.
    (10)  He was dead, but now He is alive forevermore.
    (11)  He is coming quickly to reward each person according to their own
          deeds.

Passages for each point in the summary:

(1) http://biblehub.com/kjv/luke/23.htm
    13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers
       and the people,
    14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth
       the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no
       fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
    15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death
       is done unto him.
    16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
    17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
    18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release
    unto us Barabbas [a convicted murderer and thief guilty of inciting
    rebellion]:
    19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into
       prison.)
    20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
    21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
    22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have
       found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let
       him go.

(2) 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be
       crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
    24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
    25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into
       prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

(3) http://biblehub.com/kjv/matthew/27.htm
    45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the
       ninth hour.
    46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli,
       lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
       me?

(4) 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth
       for Elias.
    48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with
       vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
    49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
    50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
    51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
       bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

(5) http://biblehub.com/kjv/luke/24.htm
    http://biblehub.com/kjv/matthew/28.htm
    1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they
      came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared,
      and certain others with them.
    2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
    3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
    4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold,
      two men stood by them in shining garments:
    5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth,
      they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
    6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he
      was yet in Galilee,
    7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men,
      and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
    8 And they remembered his words,

(6) http://biblehub.com/kjv/acts/1.htm
     9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up;
       and a cloud received him out of their sight.
    10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two
       men stood by them in white apparel;
    11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
       this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in
       like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

(7) http://biblehub.com/kjv/acts/2.htm
    1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord
      in one place.
    2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
      and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
    3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat
      upon each of them.
    4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
      tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

(8) http://biblehub.com/kjv/acts/9.htm
    1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the
      disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
    2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found
      any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound
      unto Jerusalem.
    3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round
      about him a light from heaven:
    4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul,
      why persecutest thou me?
    5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou
      persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
    6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
      And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be
      told thee what thou must do.
    7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice,
      but seeing no man.
    8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no
      man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
    9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

(9) http://biblehub.com/kjv/acts/18.htm
     9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but
       speak, and hold not thy peace:
    10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have
       much people in this city.

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/acts/23.htm
    11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer,
       Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear
       witness also at Rome.

(10) http://biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/1.htm
     9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in
       the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called
       Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
    10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice,
       as of a trumpet,
    11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou
       seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in
       Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira,
       and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
    12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw
       seven golden candlesticks;
    13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man,
       clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a
       golden girdle.
    14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his
       eyes were as a flame of fire;
    15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his
       voice as the sound of many waters.
    16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a
       sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his
       strength.
    17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand
       upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
    18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
       Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
    19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the
       things which shall be hereafter;

(11) http://biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/22.htm
    10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book:
       for the time is at hand.
    11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let
       him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still:
       and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
    12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man
       according as his work shall be.
    13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
    14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the
       tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
    15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and
       idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Jesus is alive.  Forevermore.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

What does the Bible say?

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/colossians/1.htm

    14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness
       of sins:
    15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every
       creature:
    16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
       are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
       dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created
       by him, and for him:
    17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
==> 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning,
       the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the
       preeminence.
    19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
    20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to
       reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be
       things in earth, or things in heaven.

    21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by
       wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
    22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and
       unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
    23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved
       away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was
       preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am
       made a minister;

Everyone who puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, asking Him to forgive
their sin, is alive now in the spirit, alive forevermore.  They have passed
from death to life and will not remain under judgment and condemnation upon
their departure from this world:

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/john/5.htm
    24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth
       on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
       condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

According to the New Testament and the Church's interpretation, he's 
been resurrected. I don't know the C source codes of the resurrection 
process though.

I, Your Holiness, definitely wanna read it!! :)

Here is what happens to us invisibly.  With our mere eyes, we don't see
evidence of sin resulting in our death.  We also don't see evidence of
Jesus taking away our sin.  But internally, invisibly, this is what
happens, as is indicated in this song

    Flawless
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLlLPZderk

He takes away all of our sin, all of our junk, all our evil, everything.
He takes it and places it upon Himself so as to set us free and leave
us spotless and flawless before God the Father, bearing even the same
righteousness as His own Son.

We will be married to Jesus in eternity, such that all He has is ours,
and all we have is His, just as in marriages here upon this world.

Jesus has offered us everything.  It is the evil sin nature that draws
us away from Him, and it is His Holy Spirit which overcomes that sin
nature, leading us to His Son, to forgiveness, to eternal life, to be
saved from judgment for our sin, and condemnation in Hell forever.

It's free.  It's before every person right now.  All any of us have to
do to receive it ... is receive it.

Jesus always has been.  He existed before this universe was created.  The
word "universe" literally means "one speaking," which is what the Bible
teaches about the universe ... that God said, and it became so.

Jesus is eternal.  He is God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit,
in one.  And we were made in His image, being also three-part:  soul, body,
spirit, just as He is three part:  Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

We are rays.  We begin at our point of creation, and continue on throughout
eternity.  Where we spend that eternity depends on what we do with Jesus
Christ.  Reject Him, and we remain under condemnation through sin.  Receive
Him, and He forgives us and restores us to eternal life.

The offer is free.  There are no hoops to jump through.  No personal levels
of attainment to master.  All you have to do is believe and ask Him and He
forgives you.

He could not have made it any easier and still give you a free will choice.

Except that, as far as I can find, the quote WAS written by one N. 
Alexander, not by any being known as Satan. Therefore the original 
attribution was the correct one. In the same way that Martin Luther 
King, Jr. - not, say, Bill Gates - must be credited with the famous "I 
have a dream" speech.

You'll find if you dig deep that Satan works through people.  He's a spirit,
and his influence is upon our flesh.  We think we have original ideas, that
our thoughts, feelings, emotions, are all our own ... they're not always.
Satan will use our flesh to tempt us into immorality and sin.  He tempts us
to believe a certain thing, feel a certain way, move in the direction he
wants us to move in through our sinful flesh.

It's why it's so hard for people like me to teach people who are already
under the influence of Satan (though generally not directly him, but rather
any of the demon imps carrying out his will in this world).  We're fighting
invisible forces at work against the people we're trying to save.  We teach
the truth, but that truth is perverted by the spirits influencing the flesh
of the one being spoken to so that it's easy for them, in their flesh, to
not understand the words of God, which are also spirit and life, because
the spirit can influence the flesh to not believe it.

It's why it requires Jesus Christ.  Only He can take our sin away, and
restore us to spiritual life (eternal life) because when He takes our sin
away we no longer have sin, and are no longer under judgment, and are no
longer under condemnation and death because of sin, and we are then alive
again spiritually, what the Bible calls in John 3 "born again."

Once we are alive spiritually, we're able to discern the things of the
spirit and God guides us away from the enemy, showing us the truth so that
we can identify the falseness.

I can only teach people.  I can only tell them the truth.  They have to
pursue it in order to reach the goal because God gives people free will,
and Satan uses that free will choice to tempt people, to distract them in
their flesh so their focus is on the here and now only, and not on eternity,
not on the eternal life they possess, be it in the paradise of Heaven, or
the unending tormenting flames of Hell.

Satan is defeated.  He has lost to Jesus Christ at the cross.  All power
is God's in Heaven, upon the Earth, and under the Earth.  Jesus holds the
keys to death, Hell, and the grave.  And all who put their faith and trust
in Him are never taken to shame, but are instead lifted up and will rise
with Him in eternity, in eternal glory in His eternal Kingdom of glory.

It's what Satan's trying to keep everyone from coming to the knowledge of
because once we believe in Jesus Christ, and ask Him to forgive our sins,
Satan loses, and everything he rose up against God in rebellion for is
cast down to nothing.

It's all there, ImperiusDamian, in the Bible.  You can read it all for
yourself.  And if you seek the truth and do so, you will find it.  That's
a promise from God, not from me.  I just repeat His promise to you.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

To expand on this, Satan and other evil spirits do this by injecting things
upon our flesh.  We "feel" a certain way, but that feeling is not coming
from us.  It's being forced upon our flesh unaware because we are spiritually
dead.  We're not aware of the evil spirit's presence doing this, but the evil
spirit will approach us and emit a feeling or emotion or thought into our
flesh, such that we then receive it and believe it to be ours.

So many people are being led into all manner of falseness through this
artificial injection of thoughts, feelings, emotions, by these evil spirits.
They are coming to us powerfully, and very much present and real to our
flesh.  They're undeniable.  But what I'm teaching you is that so often
these feelings and thoughts and emotions we have are not our own.

Road rage.  Addiction.  Feelings of lust.  When these overwhelm us to do
things we know are sinful, that we wouldn't otherwise do if we were relying
only upon our mental faculties, so often times if you dig deep and look at
what's happening to each person through this lens, you'll see the evidence
of that evil spirit at work.

But, like all manner of investments, if you will not acquiesce to their
draws and pulls and tugs at your flesh, like a wise investor they'll pull
out after they've sunk enough time and energy and resources into the dry
well.  They'll leave when you say "No!" enough times.

For some people they can do this in their own flesh in some areas.  Some
people will never gamble, never commit adultery, never steal, never lie,
etc.  But, not everybody will keep from doing everything.  And these evil
spirits continually tempt us from our youth watching our responses, learning
what we will succumb to, and they hit us then where we're weakest, so they
can obtain a legal license to enter in to our bodies, but tempting us to
commit a sin, so that when we do we relinquish control to that evil spirit
and it enters in to occupy a body because the Bible records their bodies
are currently locked in everlasting chains, so that they cannot come out
from where they are bound.  So to directly interact with this world, they
need a host.  And they find that host in us through sin.

Satan is a powerful evil spirit.  He was once the highest angel with the
closest access to God.  He thinks in ways we cannot understand.  Across
time.  Across continents.  Across multiple minds, considering things a
group of people couldn't consider no matter how smart they were.  The
Bible records he's literally leading the whole world astray.  And with
even a cursory glance at the goings on of this world, you'll see there's
more than sufficient evidence to back that up.

What God teaches us are these things I'm teaching you.  He teaches us the
real cause of the activities here in this world.  Why people sin.  Why we
are slaves to sin.  Why only Jesus Christ can take our sin away and set us
free from being slaves to sin.

It's all there in the Bible, ImperiusDamian.  If you are interested in
learning the truth ... seek it.  You won't need me or anybody else to
teach you that which is in the Bible.  But I warn you, as you begin to
read it seeking ... there are a multitude of evil spirits who will come
and attack you and try to dissuade you from any possible reach into the
scripture.  But, if you seek the truth, God knows this, and He will
intervene in your life and make it possible for you to come to the real
truth, not the "perverted truth" Satan pawns off as being the truth,
which is nothing more than one of a million lies.

But God will lead you to that which He sent His Son into this world to
die for, so that you can be set free from sin, from death through sin,
and be restored to eternal life.

Seek the truth, ImperiusDamian.  It's all I ask.  It's a proper request.
It's only up to you, and everyone else, to actually be the one who does
it.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

There is no Satan. The rulers of the Burning Hells are the three Prime 
Evils who hold sway as a dark sovereign triumvirate. They are Mephisto 
of Hatred, Baal of Destruction, Diablo of Terror. These are the truths 
of the Horadrim. :P

What are the fruits of the spirit, Jerry (the fruits of a man walking after
the spirit of God, having that spirit alive in their life)?

Are you producing those fruits?
