What kind of god would kill his son for the sins of others?

Question

Why then do christians agree with having a judicial system at all? Why punish someone if jesus forgives him already just by accepting his name? What incentive is there for people to not commit sins if someone else has already paid for their sins and they are saved by his name alone? Are you christians completely out of your mind? Can you think logically?

Answer 1

Christians don't use logic. That's why I don't bother arguing w/ them.

Answer 2

The judicial system is necessary, I don't think is there or it exists because of the agreement of the so called Christians, if this was true, The so called Christians could do wonders, but all so called Christians are NOT in agreement. I am a so called Christian and you nailed it totally out of my mind, no don't think logically, to answer you question, what kind of god would kill his son for the sins of others? THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU.

Answer 3

Can you?

I don't believe in any organized religion, but if you read the Bible a little more closely, you'll see that God didn't kill Jesus - the Romans did.

Personally, I think that people who do really evil acts (like raping and torturing children) and then "repent" should be sent to their maker as soon as possible.

No matter what religion they are, humans need a judicial system to keep the bad guys in check. But if there were better educational systems and opportunities for the disadvantaged, we'd have a lot fewer criminals.

Answer 4

This was a sacrifice. Do you have any children? Have you ever suffered so someone else didn't have to? Ultimately, there is no death, this was only a temporary sacrifice. One that was made while he was here in the flesh. We don't want to commit sins because we know that he suffered because of them and that through him we can overcome our sins. Also, Jesus paid the price for our sins in Gethsemane, The Atonement. This was His sacrifice. As for being killed this was not the intention of God but the designs of evil men. The crucifixion was useful to the point of the resurrection of Christ. Overcoming Death is the result of the crucifixion. The Savior had two missions #1 overcome SIN #2 Overcome DEATH. One of which we need to overcome through Him here on earth. The second one, overcoming DEATH is a FREE gift to you and all of us. YOU WILL SEE.

Answer 5

You don't seem to understand what kind of "forgiveness" Jesus gave us. Jesus died for our sins so that we may be saved. This does not however make us free to break laws, and do immoral things. In the bible it is written "The soul that sins, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20. If we go around doing things which we know are wrong there is no salvation. We must repent for our sins and try to live a Christ-like life. The logic is perfect.

As for God letting His son die for humanity; look at the ultimate scripture. "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. " John 3:16. You need to understand the Trinity. Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are one. So you can kinda look at it this way, God gave of Himself to save us.

Answer 6

A ficticious god.

For quite selfish reasons, Paul wanted the rabbi Jesus to have been the Messiah, but it was obvious that Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies. In writing the gospels decades after his death, it became necessary that Jesus would be depicted as a demigod martyr who would "return" to fulfill these prophecies at some later time (which Paul warned everyone would occur almost immediately). To make this idea feasible, it was necessary to make 'God' responsible, by omission if not commission, for his own "son's" demise.

The real God had no part in the free will of these men.

Answer 7

First we need to determine which God we are talking about here. Are you referring to the real God, the unconditionally loving God who we are all a part of? This is the one Jesus was talking about when he said the kingdom of God is within you. The one who is our dearest friend and closest companion.
This god would never kill his son for the sins of others.

Or are we talking about the angry little judgmental God that lives on some far off cloud called heaven. The one who seems to be more concerned with our errors than he is with our successes? You know the egocentric needy little God that always wants people to worship him. The one who is always unavailable because he is only a fantasy? He is probably the one you are talking about. You need to specify if you want a real answer

Answer 8

You're kinda answering your own question heh. Yeah christians are out of their minds. Either that or they just choose not to use them. They have a rather sick religion don't they. Funny how closely it resembles Islam. Also keep in mind that christianity is opposed to Democracy. The current Bush administration is good example of this. Imagine what a police state we'd have if christians had more power.

Answer 9

Man, people are very limited, they believe what their parents taught them, they never botherd to seek the truth.

I really thought about that too much I just cannot find an answer?

God is a lot higher than sending his son to die for people. Why whould a God do that? doesn't God have other ways to forgive people's sins?

I believe God should send Messengers, to send His message.
and that's what really Happened. ending with Prophet Mohammad May Peace be upon him.

Answer 10

Adam was a perfect man who gave up his perfect life.
Had Jesus not ransomed us back from what Adam lost we would not have the hope of eternal life.
He is a very loving god who wanted to give us a chance.
Jesus is a very powerful spirit creature had he not wanted to do that it would have never happened. He gladly laid down his life for us. Show a little appreciation.
You are expected to obey the law

Answer 11

Only a maniac would kill his son for the sins of others. He would also have to be a shallow person who could not forgive without going through such a strange ritual.
