Could Jesus be raised to the Son of God without crucifixion?
No, if Jesus had not been crucified he would have been seen only as a failed Jewish prophet and would have been stoned to death, a Jewish form of punishment. He could be raised to the “son of God” status by the Catholic church only if the Romans (“the kingdom of this world”) killed him by crucifixion.
