If G-d is all powerful, why did he come to earth in a human form and then have himself killed/?

Question

I really don't understand this and this is not posed as any way of being disrespectful.

Answer 1

God's perspective (a parable)
There was a man who watched out his window at some baby ducks who were outside in the yard. They were headed for the road, which was a deadly place for very small, soft animals like baby ducks. As the baby ducks neared the road, with cars and trucks coming and going, the man got concerned for the baby ducks. He went outside and tried to tell them to stay away from the road so they would stay safe. They did not understand him at all. He tried to "herd" them away from the road by trying to “shew” them in one direction, but they only got scared and confused. The man thought... if only I could speak their language, I could spare there lives. Even better, if I could become a duck, just for a few minutes, I could lead them all to safety.

Man's perspective
Man was created to have a relationship with God. God's presence is awesome and wonderful, and who would ever want to leave it? "Sin" means without, or separation. When man sins, he is separating himself from God (not God separating from man). After the fall of Adam and Eve, all of mankind thereafter was born into sin. No amount of sacrifice, devotion or good works can bridge the gap. No human, however close to perfection he or she is, will ever be "good enough" to negate man's sin nature and restore the proper relationship with God: hence our need for divine intervention. God himself came into this world to bridge the gap between man and God (since there is no way for man to do this on his own). There is no trick, or special knowledge, or any kind of magic to it. It is part of our relationship with God. We only need to accept his sacrifice to take our sin away and restore our proper relationship with Him. The bible says that sin requires a blood sacrifice, and the blood of Jesus washes away the sins of anyone who accepts it.

Answer 2

I am a telepath who talks frequently to Mother Mary, Jesus, Joseph, Princess Diana... etc. This is the story they tell. I am told that Mary and Joseph were the first couple to inhabit earth. They birthed a Twin Flame couple, the baby boy was named Jesus and the baby girl was named Anne. War came to our planet via Satan and his evil drones. Many of us were slaughtered, raped, tortured, killed and all was lain waste everywhere. I am told that Mother Mary and her daughter Anne incarnated on our planet many times in various places, but the true Joseph and their first born son Jesus never incarnated after that first time. Now I know this is contrary to what the Christians teach, but the Jews, however, do not believe their messiah has ever been here at all. Jesus, however, teaches that we are all one, that no one is higher or lower, that he does not have a "special" role at all. Everyone is equal to one another, no matter how it appears. Those of us who incarnated repeatedly came for only one purpose--that of defeating this evil Satan,( who also incarnated repeatedly), and his evil offspring. It was our sole intent to take back our planet from this vicious overthrow of our own people. We have nearly achieved this goal. Nature has a way of helping, which is to quake and shake and dump this nasty dronified garbage off our earth endlessly. That's why world disasters have increased rapidly during the last 12 plus years. I am told by these our friends that only about 8% of the earth's population today are not from the original earth race, and they will not live here or anywhere ever again. So in this sense, we are all Saviors and Christs, accord. to them. If you check your past lives thoroughly, I am sure you will find you also have been massacured over and over again as you fought against evil, as has everyone good. Stalin, HItler, Napolean, Saddam Hussein... are the types that are the unwanted original invaders, who also came here in various incarnations, over and over again, always bringing deadly diseases and death with them. We all volunteered to come and help, even others from other distant planets and universes are here to help. We are actually entering the Newest Age of Freedom ever experienced by mankind, a lot like our Original Earth. Thanks for asking such a darn good question.

Answer 3

God is all powerful and it is impossible for a human to know the mind of God.......but he is loving and wants us to know him, so he took human form in order to speak to us as a human being.

God is also perfect, but we are can never reach perfection, even the best of us sin. Before Christ, people tried their best to follow all kinds of complicated rules to become holy. But it's not possible to be holy by following rituals or rules! So God came to earth as Jesus to speak to us, to teach us, to be close to us, and then he died on the cross taking all human sin upon himself - yours, mine and everybody's. And then he was resurrected from death to show that we will have eternal life if we believe in him.

I love the way you clarified that you are really seeking an answer and not being confrontational. I'm not the greatest at explaining these things, but I hope this helped.

Answer 4

There's different views, but an interesting view I have always liked is that like Passover where a lamb was offered for passover, that is let God's anger passover. The Paschal Sacrifice of Christ was similar, in that he accepts freely to die and thus give life to many because he accepts guilt for all sins past and present, thus freeing people. Th Gospels state this a lot better than me, they speak in many ways about this, another interesting one being his paying a ransom for us.

Answer 5

That's easy, it's because God never came down in human form and had himself killed. God sent his only son (Jesus) to earth, and to prove himself to the people had him executed to rid all sin from man kind. It was a big price to pay, and had to be done because a proficy was made about 250bc saying that the son of man would come down and die to save his ppl. :-) Hope this helps

Answer 6

He came to earth in human form to show that He could go through everything humans went through and go through and still be perfect. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins so that when God looks at us He doesn't see our sins He sees Jesus' perfection.

Answer 7

truly except the very much altered bible and the lifeless sea scrolls(that were also tampered with). there is truly no certainly valid historic documentation that the Jesus of the bible even existed in any respect. similar is going for almost anybody else in the bible except for Herod the excellent, Pilot, and probably some others that do not truly count number. Jesus replaced into somewhat an basic call decrease back in the day 2,000 years in the past.

Answer 8

that is a good one.god came on earth to show his existence and power and the way. i thik god does't need to sacrifice himself or his son for our forgiveness.he can forgive us at the end without sacrifice of jesus.but...god know why was a sacrifice.maybe to show us the eternity,if we believe in god we can live forever after death.that why he sand the power in a body(jesus) like our body to see that he can help us.

Answer 9

First off God didn't come to earth...He sent His only Son His Name was Jesus...And He did not kill his self ..He was crucified so that you and me and all may be saved ....God so loved the world that he gave His only Son.....A lot of people takes His death in VAIN...God bless you own your journey ...and learning what you your self can learn Because no one can get for you but you....

Answer 10

Try to imagine a judge who has a loved one brought before him.
Then the judge assigns the maximum fine allowed and pays it himself.
Maybe not exactly a good analogy, but close.
