Why would the biblegod need to sacrifice himself to himself, just so he could change laws he himself made?

Question

He's god, isn't he? By definition, doesn't that mean he gets to do whatever he wants?

Answer 1

Adam and Eve sinned, thus apart from God, with no way back.
The Bible, His Word, says the wages of sin is death.
The Bible also says without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. The Old Testament Jews would offer unblemished lambs, as a sacrifice, to cover their sin.
God sent His Son, the unblemished Lamb of God, to redeem us, to pay for our sins once and for all, and to show us the way we should live.

Answer 2

Ha ha, you're pretty funny.
Not to try and convert anybody here, but I'm Muslim, and pretty much the main difference between Islam and Christianity is that we beleive that Jesus was strictly a prophet...not Godly. No father. Nothing. Just a prophet born from miracle.
It seems logical because first ofcourse, it is a monotheistic religion, which means one God. Also, we beleive that God has no partners or family, even if that family "is him (?)". Also, if the holy books like the Bible and Koran read true, than God is so great that he can do something so simple as having mary birth a baby without a man. After all, if Jesus was God's son, than does that make Adam and Eve his incestual eldest children?

Answer 3

He saw that "evil men and seducers would wax worse and worse" like the Scripture says, to the point that the sacrifice of an animal that couldn't willingly give itself for sin, being a creature without the mental capacity to speak for others or reason the consequences of it's own or our actions. So, He offered Himself in the personage of Jesus Christ, a man born into purity instead of under the sin-curse God placed upon us at the fall of Adam and Eve, that would qualify to be the sacrifice for all sin of all time, with the capacity to rationalize this action and do so with unconditional love for us.

Answer 4

I dont believe the question is posed in a sincere manner,however,
its very simple, in our world if someone breaks the law by stealing or killing someone else, would you expect the judge to change the law so that person could free?, its the same with God, he cannot compromise his own character, and by the way the Son became the sacrifice to satisfy the fathers righteous demands, basically he spent"hard time" that you and I should have spent. makes sense?

Answer 5

An intelligent question and comment. Christ Jesus was crucified because as a Rabbi he had too large a following. The Romans were worried about him because with so many people behind him he could have started an insurrection. Thousands of Rabbi's were killed for the same reason. Jesus was just one more of them. His followers needed a super god to promote themselves so they made one. It was a sun worshiping king that taught them how.

Answer 6

The way I see it is that God reached the point of total and utter neglection and forsakeness, the lowest point a human being can fall into, which is to hopelessly be without God. Since this understanding of mine is frankly too metaphysical, then I'll have to stick to concrete reality: Jesus of Nazareth was a man and we declare him to be the most satisfactory sacrifice to deal with guilt.

Answer 7

I think Jesus did not save himself because he was powerless to do so. He was only human

And if he did have the power to save himself he committed suicide by not doing so.

Answer 8

That's why the "holy trinity" theory would never work. Jesus was God's son. God's laws are "eye for an eye", etc... so when the first perfect man, Adam, sinned - we needed another perfect man to balance the scales and die for our sins.

Answer 9

There are so many points that prove religion is moronic and they didn't think it all the way through... if only people would wake up an realize that.
