If God sacrifice his only Son?

Question

Is the fact that he was going back to his Father really a sacrifice if God got him back, not in flesh but in spirit!

Answer 1

Jesus came back in the flesh. As it is written: "For many deceivers have gone out into the world. They refuse to acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist." (II John 1:7)

To say that Jesus returned to the Father as a spirit flies in the face of Scripture, as He was in His body when the Apostles saw Him ascend into Heaven. (Acts 1:1-9)

There were those in the first and second century who believed that Jesus' spirit was freed from His mortal body, and that it was His spirit that was holy, and that his flesh was sinful. This is a heresy called Gnosticism. It likes to come back throughout the centuries, because it allows people to be "spiritual," and lascivious at the same time.

Answer 2

First of all, God did not sacrifice his son...
Jesus willingly offered his human body to his father as a sacrifice for mankind.
Look Jesus could have his Angels who were looking on ready to defend him if need be, but he was willing to go threw all the torture before his death for mankind.
From the beginning he told his father he would be the sacrifice for mankind.
The drama of Abraham and his son Isaac Genesis 22:1-18, was in a way an illustration of how his father felt. Isaac could have over powered his father if he wanted to but he obeyed him.
When Jesus was resurrected so that his followers could see him, he materialized in a human body so they could see him, that's why Mary Magdalen did not recognize him at first she thought he was the garden keeper not until he spoke then she knew it was he.
God disposed his fleshly body only the garments were their not his body He was raised in Spirit after leaving the earthly scene the clouds obscure the vision of the 500 witnesses out of sight, Jesus got rid of the human body he materialized in.

Answer 3

Dont we have to sacrifice our own lives to follow God and if we do we return to Father. So when Jesus died for our sins, he made himself a living sacrifice; he carried the cross that He was to die on. Are you gonna follow Him? We are to become more Christ-like just like the bible states. It is a sacrifice because the world wouldve been condemned if it wasnt for a Him. we all have to return to the Father. It was a sacrifice.

Answer 4

you missed the point of the sacrificial offering that Christ presented himself as the "propitiation" for our sins. That he was our escape goat. this is a powerful illustration. Once a year the sins of the people were released into the wilderness, two goats were chosen one by lot, the first was sacrificed and the high priest dipped his hands in the blood of the goat and laid them on the other goat, this goat was taken and released into the wilderness to symbolize God taken the sins away from his people, and also by the death of one the other was released.

Another illustration of sacrifice was in the Abrahamic covenant when God told Abram to bring in specific animals. Abram did so and cut apart the pieces to form a covenant of blood. Abram waited for God to physically come down, and walk with him through the cut pieces thus ratifying the covenant of blood. A deep sleep fell upon Abram and God was seen as smoking firepot and a blazing torch walked through the blood to ratify the covenant. Which God said Abram if you or I break this covenant of blood then I alone will pay with blood.

Answer 5

Jesus did suffer, poor guy. So he did sacrifice. I am not sure about God sacrificing His only son, does God have a son in a physical sense? ummmmm I amnot sure. As to the bodyly resurrection I doubt it, seriously. If he did he must be rottening somewhere. Does God then have a body? Gush how far away from the truth are we!!! God is infinite, body is finite; God is ilimited, phisical body is limited and it limits you; how can we put those physical attributes to God, the infinite, the all compassing the all powerful etc.... nooooope. It seems like a human invention this God that has a body and needs it to go to heaven. Didnt he say I am in heaven? Did he mean his body was in heaven or his soul? because his body was on planet earth at the time he said that.

Answer 6

The 33 years the Son of God spent on earth was all one big sacrifice, culminating in a gruesome death for which he bore no guilt.

His father did get Jesus back, in both flesh and in spirit, as Jesus is in heaven right now, along with his body, and seated at the right hand of his father.

This in no way negates the sacrifice and suffering Jesus endured for us.

Due to the nature of original sin, it was absolutely necessary that the sinless Jesus allow himself to be put to death by the forces of evil, even though he bore no guilt for sin.

Satan overstepped the bounds of his authority, killed Jesus, and was legally called by God to account for his crime.

That is what destroyed Satan's dominion over mankind, and the world.

Once that was accomplished, Jesus became the new head of all mankind, and based on that new leadership, his father in heaven granted mankind the ability to have our sins forgiven, in Jesus' name.

If you sacrifice $10.00 to feed a poor person, and later, earn $10.00 again, it doesn't negate the value of yor sacrifice, or the benefits that poor person received from your generosity.

So it was with Jesus and his sacrifice, but extended out to infinity.

Answer 7

I'm not sure if you know what you are talking about. Jesus did come back in bodily form. Read Matth, Mark, Luke, John. Pretty much you find it in the whole new testament. And yes, it was still a sacrifice.

Answer 8

Odd that some should talk of His Only Son when that very person says all are children of God.

Answer 9

For the Family? NO! For the World? YES!

Answer 10

he was a spirit to start with, so all he did was get rid of a body he never wanted anyway, some sacrifice. Childbirth is more painful and you dont hear that being able to abolish "sin" whatever "sin" is supposed to be.
