Answer 1

You were a sinner ahead of your time.

Answer 2

He's still alive today. That's the whole point of the resurrection. He broke the hold death had over himself. And since he's God, he's able to extend that over humanity.

You have to start with Adam and Eve to really be able to understand the concept. They were created as eternal beings, but when they disobeyed God they were separated from him and began to live as eternal beings in mortal bodies. God used the sacrificial system for a time to make his people aware of how their sin and pride hurt him and each other, but the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus broke the curse of sin forever.

Answer 3

Excellent question!!

God created everything good and perfect.
Becasue of free will and choice our first parents sinned and broke the perfect relationship of trust and dependence on God. We all inherited this brokenness.

All sin requires an atonement because God is completely and totally holy (which is good since He is also all powerful and present everywhere) God first allowed for redemption through animal sacrifice showing his great mercy in drawing his people back to a relationship with him.

Then after teaching us for about 4000 years about redemption Jesus took the form of a human and humbled himself to become the final sacrifice (His proven deity in His resureection) that we can accept by faith. This enalbes us to reunite with God in a trusting growing realtionship filled with love and blessing but requires great surrender that most people cannot tolerate.

BLESSINGS!!

Answer 4

You see my son it was for your intentional ingestion of a controlled substance that the lord died to save your soul. He died to make sure that posterity would have access to Alaska Thunderfizzle and not be persecuted by a life of burning the brown frown. If you are worth your salt you will find the lord in yourself and realize you must fight to have the rights you take for granted. Become an activist and stand up for lazy potheads everywhere. Remember that in his time JC was an incredible radical of the likes of Woody Harrelson today. His talk of peace and brotherhood was as much an insult to the tyrannical status quo as burning a phatty on the courthouse lawn is today.

Stay up player.

Answer 5

Jesus Christ was the unblemished Lamb of God. He always is, always was, and always will be. When He died on the cross, He knew at that moment every single person who would ever walk on the earth and every sin that would ever be committed. When He died, He defeated the powers of sin and death, making it possible for us to be forgiven for our mistakes in life. When He died doesn't make a lick of difference. The fact that He made that sacrifice is all that matters.

Answer 6

At first, this seems a problem to a thoughtful person, but the more thoughtful you are, the more readily you will see the solution. God is Omniscient (that is, He knows all things), and God is eternal. In Exodus 3 v 14, God calls Himself 'I AM' (present tense), and Christ says in John 8 v 58, 'before Abraham was I AM' (present tense). In other words, to One who knows all things and is Eternal, there is, as it were, neither past nor future, but one eternal present. Events yet to take place 2,000 years ahead must be as clear to Him as events which happened 2,000 years ago, and both must of necessity be just as clear to God as events happening now.

Answer 7

I think of it like this... Jesus knows everything, he knew when you were going to be born b4 you were ever thought of. He knew what you were going to do when you were put in that really tough situation. He knows all. So he knew that everyone is a sinner and that everyone needed to be forgiven of their sins. So he died for you and everyone else so that we wouldnt have to pay the price and burn in hell. He loves you that much! It is really miraculous. And he rose again in three days to prove the devil that God is the creator and the ruler of the Earth

Answer 8

The Bible tells us that Jesus died for all of our sins, but it is up to us to accept this sacrifice He made for us! Jesus is in heaven watching over us and He stands in on our behalf in front of God the Almighty as His wounds is a constant reminder of the sacrifice to forgive us uour sins! So my fellow brother keep faith and pray that God may guide you and give you the knoledge of His will and word! God Bless

Answer 9

Its spiritual salvation for us. In the OT animals were sacrificed as certain offerings to cleanse our sins. Well Jesus took that place for us to cleanse us from our sins that we have committed, committed today and what we will commit in the future. So we don't have to do all the coulda' shoulda woulda's hah God knew that we have our weak points and are not perfect.

Answer 10

Because He came back to life after the fact. He is eternally living in a constant state of being the sacrifice.

Answer 11

Time factor aside, how does somebody dying do anything for anybody?
I've heard the "reasoning" a hundred times about how one perfect life ransoms another, but does that make any sense at all??

It never did to me and still doesn't.
