When you pick up specifics out of the biblical or Koranic history, these may seem unrelated or even contradictory. However to get the real essence of this try reading the genesis book or the koranic description of Adam, the angels and his exile to the earth.
A succession of prophets from Adam to Mohammed and related events that bind major religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam together. If all the prophets are given equal importance things are better understood. Both Jews and Muslims do not believe in the son-of-god theory though muslim rever Jesus as one of their own prophet. Despite Moses prophecieing the coming of "messiah" which came as Jesus, jews are still waiting for him.
The basic concept of all religions is :
1. Presence of one Supreme being
2. Tenets to keem social order in the world.
Faith and things like that are hightened to make people follow the straight path.
Hope this gives you some insight.

I'm not sure what you're looking for, but the TEN COMMANDMENTS were made so that we would have laws to go by, God flooded the earth because the people were wicked as they were in Soddom and Gommorah. He also, wanted to see if Noah would trust Him, and He had to prove that He was real, and to trust Him too. Also, He didn't come in the form of man until the New Testament as Christ. To be honest, He didn't need humans, but that's what He wanted. This is what I believe anyway, so please don't take it the wrong way.

God did not sent jesus to interfere. He was sent because we are too sinful and any sacrifice we made would never have been enough to pay our way to heaven.
God actually made the earth first, humans were after the fact, we were made on the 6th day, and we were given the earth. God said to care for the earth. He never said he would not interfere, God will always step in if we ask him. Whoever told you God doesnt interfere hasnt read a Bible in a while. God never says that he wont interefere, as a matter of fact he states hundreds of times over that he is the king. Now would a King just let the peasants run crazy over his kingdom?

Sending rules or making some things happen are not the same as making this world a perfect world. I have thought about this for quite a while. I think Jesus, God's son, was sent to show us the way : meaning that, in this imperfect world, we should not be afraid to be kind or forgiving, (which is his way, or "the way") even if the apparent result would be death (which is what he went through). To have faith in him, to me means that even if I endangered my life to help someone, as in an emergency medic for example (never involving hurting someone else) which unfortunately some christians have done. Then even while facing death I would have faith in eternal life in God/love. By the way I beleive this has been misinterpreted as meaning that you have to say you beleive in him, thus that christians had to forcibly convert everyone, but I think that's ridiculous.
What Jesus meant when he said :" I am the way" was do as I do, be kind to others even if they are not Jewish : Surprise ! Jesus would not have said Christians, he was a Jew and a shining example of the Jewish faith which I don't beleive to be incompatible with Christian faith. He was so nice because he was/is a Jew. But others can be nice/kind too. What about Gandhi, come on... we can all learn from each other :)
I'm tired I have to consult my crystal ball !!

You are a thirsty boy indeed, but the well you should go to is the well of living water, Jesus Christ, the Word of God.
You say if God sent His Son to die because He could not make changes to the human world Himself. God is the "I AM THAT I AM" God can and does do whatever He wants when He wants.
God did not make a human son to die. God sent His only begotten Son as a lamb to be slaughtered for the sins of all of mankind. There is only one God. The Father and the Son are one and the same. God incarnate means, God made flesh.
I can see that you are searching, and need a guide. Get your KJV Bible out and study to show yourself approved.

There is much to say about the law and the prophets also known as the old testament.. God gave men the law ...not to make men right because God knew men would not be able to follow every point of the law...the law was created ..so that man would know sin exists...and that it(sin) would be very great or exceeding sinful...so men tend to rationalize...but God showed man that there is no greater sin or lesser sin...sin ultimately brings death...
read all people have to say some answers here i have read can really help,....just be patient...and trust that if you truly want an answer ..god will lead you to the right one...God bless

Let me explain. Jesus is God's Son, part of the trinity. If you read in the beginning, in Genesis God says " let US create..." Jesus was not any other human, & God sent His Only begotten Son because He loves us with a Passion we can't even begin to imagine. It is not that God can't mess with humans. He just can't look on sin because He is so devine, so... GOD. But He loves us so much He didn't want us to burn in hell for eternity for the sins we commit, so He made a way for us to get out of it. Jesus came to earth to be human like us for the soul pupose of taking our place. He made all this happen so we can see what God was like in the flesh. So we can see that He became human, & that He has been thru what we have. & He has taught many great things to us, & those back in the day. It shows more of a personal relationship with Jesus rather than a Master/servant relationship with a God we cant relate to or have a clue what He is like.
Did I help at all?

He granted man freedom of choice, because we are human it is up to us to do his work, we are his hands eyes ears and feet.
Because Jesus died he can be more than one place at a time. Jesus was held back in a earth suit, now he is spirit and free roaming. The Ten Commandments were meant for law where law was difficult to enforce, mostly a guidline for activities of daily living. But the interference is man not God. We have freedom of choice remember. All we can do is to set an example for our Lord to change things

Thankfully God does interfere in our lives each and every day. He sent his immortal son to die in the flesh as a living sacrifice for the sins of humanity as the wages of sin is eternal separation (death) from God, and this one death, which was raised back to life, and ascended into heaven, fulfilled the need for sacrifice and gave mankind the choice of accepting God's grace or rejecting it. I hope this has been helpful. Sometimes answering spiritually minded questions can be difficult and hard to explain. But I tried :)

It just shows how humans don't want to listen they rather go on the devils side then serve God,we need a perfect human to pay the price for us ,Adam was perfect but lost it all so God sent Jesus, but by the looks it still didn't stop people from being blind to the truth.Satan has blinded them.but they cannot say they didn't know .when the day come only God knows when the inhabited has been preach about the good news,then he will put a stop to all wickedness.
