13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

Which doesn't answer the question asked in the OP. If the question were about the Resurrected Christ, I would have posted the same verse.

So you are effectively saying then, that the Christ on the crucifix is not the resurrected Christ.

The question itself (why is christ still left on the crucifix
Jesus had been crucified for very short span yet why is he portrayed as the one attached to the crucifix?), is not worded very well. But I understand what they're getting at: jesus was quickly crucified, then put in the grave. And if you believe as christains do, that he was resurrected, and lives, then the crucifix portrays what he was, and not what he is.

You would rather we forget the Crucifixion?
