Why do Christians believe God is Sadist?

Question

He needs to kill an innocent man in order to forgive people's sins.

Answer 1

Religion is a lie that people tell about God,

Love and blessings Don

Answer 2

God is both just and loving. In order to maintain both his justice and his benevolence, he came up with an ingenious plan in the person of Christ. I will try and explain how.

First, Jesus is God. It is necessary that Jesus be God, because if he is not, then God would have sentence somebody else to die in another's place. That would have been unfair to the person who was dying. Instead, God himself died for us. This is also important because God is the only being that is perfect, and thus the only worthy sacrifice. Additionally, God is infinite, so only he can endure all the sins of the world, not just the sins of one or a few.

Second, Jesus was a man. If Jesus was not a man, then he couldn't have died. Also, there would be no blood sacrifice, which is demanded for atonement for sin. Additionally, having humanity means that Jesus could be tempted to sin, but he did not and thus maintained his perfection in light of his humanity making him all the more worthy of a sacrifice.

With these things in mind, God wasn't offering just any man; he was offering himself to forgive peoples sin. In doing so he atoned for the sins of the world, maintained his justice, and expressed his benevolence all at once.

God wouldn't be a Sadist, because he did not offer another man, but himself.

Answer 3

In a nutshell, confident. They believed that all and sundry rely became created by ability of the evil, lesser God, on an identical time as all issues invisible (such because of the fact the soul) have been created by ability of a a techniques better "spirit" god. the 1st line of the Nicene Creed became written to dispell the theory between Christians: "We have self belief in one God, the father Almighty, maker of all issues, seen and invisible". .

Answer 4

You have the wrong religion, God didn't kill an innocent man, Evil people put him on the cross and he was risen by God. Christians certainly don't belive anything you have stated.

Answer 5

God loved the world so much that He came to earth in human form, took the sins of the world on Himself, and died for (insert your name). In answer to another question I saw on here, God forsook Jesus on the cross because He is Holy, and couldn't bear to see His Son covered with the sins of the world. Besides, if Jesus still had the Spirit of God in Him, how could he have died? God then resurrected Him, and He now intercedes for the sins we commit. That's why we need to trust Him to be our advocate when we stand before God, to give an account of ourselves. (in a nutshell) I know, I sound like a nut to those of you who don't believe "The things of God are foolishness to those who don't believe" - I couldn't resist throwing one quote in. ha ha

Answer 6

God did not kill an innocent man to save anybody. God sent his Son, Jesus, to save people from their sins and from death. The response of some people was to kill him. In his dying, he saved us. God did not kill him.
It is more like a person willing running into a burning building to save a person, he knows he is going to get burned and perhaps die, but he goes in anyway with love and courage to save the person.

Answer 7

It isn't only Christians. Most monotheistic religions believe in and worship sadistic deities.

Only a sadist would condemn people to eternal hell simply because they didn't follow his favorite religion.
