It's worse than that!
You ask them why the all powerful god couldn't forgive, the horrible sin of eating the wrong fruit, without a scapegoat, they answer with double talk.

God did not "use" his own son as a scapegoat. Jesus volunteered. When are you people going to realize that the Father and Jesus are the same age. Both were from the beginning. We use these names to identify which one we are speaking about. Jesus volunteered to do this before anyone was created.

Jesus volunteered to be a scapegoat, because he loved us that much. (God did not use him to be a scapegoat.) At anytime, he could have came down from the cross, but he love kept him hanging there. He was the only one good enough to pay for the sins of all of us.

Well, it's all moot anyway. You have to believe it was his son first
The Virgin Mary said that she was pregnant without having sex, and that her fiance, Joseph, said that an angel told him so, I have a right to believe them or not; there's no other proof then their word for it , but we don't have any because Joseph and Mary wrote nothing; it was reported by others that they said so, it was gossip and then heresy repeated and repeated 'til accepted as fact.
Since Jesus's paternity is based on heresy , then we cannot know that he was God's son, nor that God used Jesus at all.

U ask to many ? about God. Maybe U should take the time to read the bible and really understand things before u ask question that has a answer to it. Try faith. U believe in so many things why not him.

No, because jesus wasn't a scapegoat. He was a sacrifice that he willingly made for us. Besides, if your christian, then there is an afterlife that is pure euphoria. Why would dying be such a bad thing?

the only incredulous thing is the fact that keep making things up to try and cause a rift in the believers.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I've watched your questions for the last hour or so and wonder why you are trying so hard to snare Christians with questions that boil down to "you have faith or you don't".
Are you bitter about something?
