Why all the drama? Having Jesus killed for our sins? A little too much theatrical, isn't it?

Question

i was reading this:

" Basically, the reason Jesus had to die for our sins was so that we could be forgiven and go to be with the Lord. All people have sinned against God. But, God is infinitely holy and righteous. He must punish the sinner, the Law breaker. If He didn't, then His law is not law for there is no law that is a law without a punishment. The punishment for breaking the Law is death, separation from God. Therefore, we sinners need a way to escape the righteous judgment of God. "

The whole story sounds to me like God just wanted to change the statistics. It's the same as if we change a law that allows murder from now on, but only with a sword, for the sole reason to lower the murder-statistics...

Couldn't God just have changed the laws? Why all this drama, this theatre ?

Answer 1

1 Set of laws that can never be followed
+
1 Person to make the ultimate sacrifice=

the most addictive religion ever.

Answer 2

Drama? Theater? I don't see it that way at all. When Jesus died he died with a reason so the his Father wouldn't punish all of us and the included the guilty.

Without judgement there wouldn't be a law in the first place but since there is why question it? God never changed not one single thing that he placed in the Holy Bible far as I am concerned, he put things in for you to read study and learn from them. In the bible it say that we all do fall short and there is plenty of times that I do but you must realize that one day you and this very same question is going to come up and he will want an answer to why you question his Father's decision, My question is do you and will you have an answer to give him when the time comes?

Answer 3

GOD can do anything right? His reasons can be bad right? No1 can say what hsi reasons are since they are not GOD's and how GOD thinks no1 knows.

And besides the point. Curcifiction was roman punihsment and it was not just to kill a person. ROmans never allow crucified ppl to be taken off the cross right the way. Christians would know that since they are most uneducated ppl.
Ppl on cross could still live up to 7 days. ROmans soldiers did not allow burrying of criminals of that time. That was the whole puprpose of crucifiction.
Christians should say thanks to Paul for marketing non-education.
Therefore GOD changed his mind and had some fun with his son.


Some1 said "God isn't like man His laws are unchangable"
She gotta be kidding right? If he is imutable and unchanging that we will have another Great flood. Than that person can reason why she got wiped out.
GOD creates law and he changes them. If any1 saying otherwise they are playing GOD him self and cliaming what god will do.
Primitive minds.
Therefore GOD and primitive minds do exist.

Answer 4

Because had the laws changed, the sin would've changed. The Scripture says that "evil men and seducers would wax worse and worse." The Law after Jesus' death was not nullified, but changed to reflect the new path to salvation through acceptance of God's plan written by the blood He shed for all sins, for all time. This "drama" and "theatre" as you put it, were necessary for us to understand the magnitude of His sacrifice. He was trying to make us realize that animal sacrifice and a priest's atonement rituals weren't going to be enough to cover the multitude of horrifying sins that the mind of man would maturate in these last evil days, so he had to step through the veil of time in a legal manner (since His ability to be physically present on Earth had been forfeited to Satan by Adam and Eve in the Garden) and create a sacrifice that wasn't born under the sin curse of man that could stand in with a fully reasoning mind, and STILL UPHOLDING the Law that said that sacrificial lambs had to be "without spot, blemish, wrinkle, or any such thing." and be the Ultimate sacrifice!

Answer 5

God isn't like man His laws are unchangable. He doesn't change so neither do His Laws. These are not physical laws these laws He is speaking of are spiritual laws.

Answer 6

God never changes, he is always the same. To change the law, would dis-prove himself.

Answer 7

Before He created ANYTHING, He knew that He would have to send His son to die on the cross for our sins. Knowing that, don't you think that He would've made the laws one way to begin with instead of just chaning them half way through?

Answer 8

The Christians could have chosen the nativity as their religious icon instead it's the gore of a crucifixion.

Genesis 2 --

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
==============================================
Genesis 2 --

12 And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me--she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate.

13 And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled (cheated, outwitted, and deceived) me, and I ate.

14 And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all [domestic] animals and above every [wild] living thing of the field; upon your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust [and what it contains] all the days of your life.
==============================================
Genesis 3 --

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
==============================================
Acts 2:27

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
==============================================
Acts 2:30-32 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

==============================================
2 Peter 2:4

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only way you can enter this world you must wear a man suit (or woman suit).
Satan used the body of a snake, basically trespassing. Then by placing a seed of doubt in Eve's mind about God keeping something from her, she ate of the tree. Nothing happened!
Yet when she gave unto Adam and he ate, sin (disobeyed) was introduced into the garden.
God could not start all over because Adam had committed treason and turned this world over to Satan, the god of this world.
Originally should have been Adam.
Satan can not create only pervert.
Jesus gave his life, it was not taken. Plus He had to put on a coat of sin to enter hell. He tricked Satan like Satan did Adam.

Answer 10

Dear sir I believe that you may have to save that question and ask Him yourself one day. I do not believe that human minds can fully fanthom the Creator and His reasons.
Peace of Christ,
