what's even more mysterious is why would an omnipotent, omnipresent, immortal super being desire/need a blood sacrifice to be appeased and forgiving? you'd think that any personage so all wise and all powerful, so infallibly just and infinitely loving would be less brutal and primitive.
i mean ... I don't require my daughter to kill her pet cat in order for me to forgive her for some foible.

hmmmm, first of all i like that question, secondly he did not mean to be crucified to "save us all" but rather he was put on to it by the rulers who thought he was a trouble maker and had to be gotten rid of. Thirdly how does one man dying relieve the entire future followers of his religion of sins, i mean does that make sense to anyone. It defeats the entire purpose of sinning, cause now supposedly nothing should be or is a sin. Its kind of funny how you go to some of these bishops and they tell you how something is sinful and if they actually believed the above statement they wouldnt or atleast shouldnt be calling anything a sin. People who actually believe the statement in the question, no disrespect but try reading other books not the "revised" versions of the bible (revised meaning corrections to the holy words to suit the people) as how could there be a new testament unless Jesus came back with another version. Try reading the ORGINAL jewsish holy book, the quran, the ORIGINAL bible and compare to see which is the most logically correct answer. Its not that hard.

Remember He died but He also rose again as an example of our resurrection.
The Bible said "Without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sin"Leviticus 17:11, "It is the blood that makes atonement".
The only one who can die for man is a perfect man.There are no perfect men ,but God is perfect.But God is spirit and a spirit can not die.So God had to become Man to take our place and die for our sins.So born of Mary in the line of David,the man carries the seed where the sin nature comes from,that's why Joseph was not His father,Jesus was BORN PERFECT as the Bible says .All through the Old Test. it says the sacrificial animal must be perfect without a blemish...that was our enlightenment,also without a broken bone,that's why Jesus' legs weren't broken on the cross.

In the Old Testament, the Hebrews, who were the chosen people of God, were commanded by God to make a sacrifice and kill something to make atonement for their sins. They would do it once a year or more - or pay a priest to do it.
When Jesus died, He was the "Lamb of God" who died for all of our sins. God is a very, very deep and symbolic God and everything ties together. He says alot about things having to die before they are resurrected. It started when we sinned - sin brought death into the world. And so on...like I said, it can get very deep.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God listening to devil who instructed his first lie interior the Bible. while he instructed them that they didn't could do as God ask and that they does not die yet could develop into like God. Now after this rift replaced into created between God and guy. devil then drew Angels far off from God by mendacity. back. And he positioned out a venture to Gods appropriate to Riley asserting that folk in basic terms serve God because of the fact of what he supplies them. Re pastime. to fulfill that venture to his authority and to heal the rift of sin. a appropriate guy necessary to show that devil replaced into incorrect. Jesus got here and cleared away devil's lie and made it achievable for us to have the suited existence God promised Adam and Eve and there. little ones. Be fruitful and subdue the Earth. additionally Jesus did no longer die on a pass. It replaced into an upright pole. Or stake. The pass replaced into is and constantly will proceed to be. A pagan image. look it up.

Because of the issue of sovereignty that is at hand.
It's kinda long to explain here but basically, Jesus had to show that a perfect man could keep God's commandments.
Adam failed to do that.
Thus Jesus proved Satan wrong, even to his death, above and beyond human needs.

A price paid to buy back or to bring about release from some obligation or undesirable circumstance. The most significant ransom price is that of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. By paying over the value of that ransom in heaven, Jesus opened the way for Adam’s offspring to be delivered from the sin and death that we all inherit because of the sin of our forefather Adam.
He was not powerless before his executioners. He said: “I surrender my soul . . . No man has taken it away from me, but I surrender it of my own initiative.” (John 10:17, 18) He declined to appeal for angelic forces to intervene on his behalf. (Matt. 26:53, 54) Though wicked men were permitted to carry out their schemes in having him put to death, his death was truly sacrificial.

The death of Jesus Christ was the impetus
that kicked off a whole new religion: Christianity.
Over the next 1934 years, this new faith would
pull millions out of the Jewish temple, and away
from the grasp of the Anti Christ, Adolph Hitler.
Indeed, for many of us, Jesus was our savior.

Is that the best you can do? If you're going to war against Christianity you should come up with a better question. There are only two groups that are gonna answer this question (and y'all know who you are) and they are only going to regurgitate the same old garbage we've been reading since the creation of YA. Oops, did I say "creation?" Now I'm gonna get reported.
