Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
Heb 2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil
It amazes me how Christians read that and then they think that "tasting death" and "through death" refers to the interval of time in Jesus' life that began with his being nailed to the cross and ended with the moment he died physically. Meaning that they equate that with "when Jesus hung on the cross".
Heb 5:7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear
Here Jesus prays to God to save him from death and he was heard. So how exactly did his prayer save him from death ? Did it cancel his being nailed to the cross ? Did it cancel his dying physically on the cross ? Nope. The only death that God saved him from was the one he tasted while in Hades for three days. God saved him from that by resurrecting him out of there and back into "the land of the living".
We may take this certain information and read the verses from Hebrews again :
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death in Hades crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone in Hades.
Heb 2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death in Hades He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil
While he may be said to experience death in a spiritual sense while hanging on the cross, what the cross did was to send him, through physical death, into a state of death in Hades which he then experienced for three days before being resurrected miraculously out of that intrinsically final state of death.
Don't equate "being crucified" with "tasting death". The two are incompatible. God never saved Jesus from the cross.
