I'm a christian, but I've never understood how jesus saved us... can somebody explain it to me?
I've never understood how jesus dying relates to us sinning.
Why did god have to manifest himself on earth as a human and then die to save us? If he's god couldn't he have saved us by just making us saved the same way he made the earth?
I understand it was painful, but there were thousands of people crucified before, and after him, why didn't their deaths "save us from sin"?
Why did he have to be executed to "save" us? Couldn't he have died peacefully?
All humans die eventually, what makes Jesus's death so special?
And i've always thought that if i could save EVERYBODY who would ever lived, ever, then i would let myself to be crucified too... wouldn't you?
thanks
