2006-09-29 23:04:52 · update #1
When Jesus was on cross he said; Why God have you forsaken me!
2006-09-29 23:28:52 · update #2
Instead he should be saying that thanx Father for choosing me!

He might have done lots of things..
He did what he chose to do...

God has his own ways,
we can't question him why he did this and why not that
we can't tell him if he loved us so much instead of just giving us a brain, why not even wings to fly.....
it's indeed silly
he had a plan
and things go acording to his plan
and we are no one to question him
he probably could have saved us thru another method
but wanted to send his only son, Jesus Christ into this world to show and remind us how much he indeed loves us.
he used this method since he though it was best way to show his love for ignorant people like us
God can do eveything the way he likes it
tell me what other methods God could have said?
if JEsus wouldn't come into this world
would we recognize the true God?
no we wouldn't
we wpould have been pagans then
worshippers of tress, animals, etc.
like some ignorant people still do today

Yes God could have but sin required a blood sacrifice. Even when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden a animal had to be killed for their sin. But animals blood was not perfect thats why Jesus came.God had to turn his back on Jesus when Jesus took on the sins of the world. God could not look at sin.
Jesus had to do this himself. God could not help him, not because he couldnt but Jesus had to take this on himself.

Yes, he could have done it the correct way.
However that would never satisfy the religious
because that would leave no wiggle room for
folks to interpret that as they pleased.
It sure sounded like God' son was an unwilling sacrifice to me. Forsaken for sure. Apparently it still didn't work .Folks are more sinful than ever.

Jesus chose his path as a way of showing us how we should live. The three Divine Souls, known in Christianity as the "Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost" have repeatedly entered situations in which they were exposed to suffering and pain, in order to guide humanity into the light. But it is up to every individual how much they learn from such examples, and how they shape their own fate.

God can do whatever he does, but never in history has God sacrificed his messengers for a bunch of disbelievers, on the contrary, He kept sending more messengers so they may understand.
Christian beliefs in Jesus's death are more or less related to their efforts to make Pagans believe in the sanctity of their religion back in the day. (personally I think its a horrible effort on their behalf, to make people see God loves them, anyone with a healthy sense of religion would now, God would not hate His own creations)
Google Pagan beliefs in Christianity and youll see what the clergymen a couple of hundred years after Jesus did to make Christianity the mainstream religion.

Absolutely! God is indeed Most Gracious and Most Merciful. There is no limit to the mercy of God. We were created for paradise, and this life is a test.
Very good question, BTW.

JESUS DESIRED TO SAVE THIS WORLD AND HIS FATHER ALLOWED HIM TO DO SO
Satan the devil and death must be destroyed for this to be possible, his word is the New Testament.
John 17:3,5,24; Col.1:15; Rev.3:14 [ Jesus alone qualifies to save the world ]; John 3:13-17;
Heb.9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb.9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb.9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Heb.9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Rom.5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom.5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom.5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Rom.5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Rom.5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
1Cor.15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1Cor,15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 1Cor.15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 1Cor.15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Heb.2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Heb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil
Heb.2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
ALL COULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED AFTER ADAM SINNED.
THERE WILL BE A NEW HEAVENS FOR THOUSAND Hev.12:22-24; Rev.3:12; AND A NEW EARTH FOR BILLIONS 2Pet.3:13; Isa.65:17; 66:1,22; Rev.21:1-5;

You have a point. God did not have to sacrifice his son. Cos God has no son. It sounds so illogical God has begotten a son. Just because Mary conceived a child when she was a virgin does not make Jesus a son of GOD.

Pure, innocent, untainted blood had to be shed for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus is the only one that could offer Himself up for His sheep. It's the blood atonement for forgiveness of sins. He purchased His church with His blood.
Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'
Acts 20:28
Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
1 Peter 1:19
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

sure he could have; but the symobolism of the event is the key. for one to give his only son so you could have everlasting life is the remarkable truth.
be careful what you say about God, especially a judgemental thing like that. judgement day will come....
