Why does god tell us not to kill people, but he killed his own son and wants us to drink his blood and eat him

Question

its hipocritical, but he went 1 step further and actually intructed us to eat his son....

Answer 1

Eating and Drinking His blood is a metaphor

And Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, he was sinless.

Answer 2

When Jesus instructed the disciples to eat his flesh and drink his blood, he offered them bread and wine as their symbolic representatives. He was speaking metaphorically. Unfortunately some people don't get that. If he had wanted them to eat his literal flesh, he would have offered them real flesh and blood.

Metaphorically it symbolizes the idea that through one death we have been saved spiritually from the curse of inherent sin. It is the idea that we (or the inherent evils that are in us) were crucified along with Christ on the cross, and were restored to a much better way of living along with him when he rose from the dead.

Answer 3

Did you know the reason why Romans fed Christians to lions is because they believed exactly the same as you? 400 years later the Christians were killing the Romans in new and unique ways of their own ,guess a religion that begins with human sacrifice is bound to engage in murder.By the way how the hell do you get this many people to respond to a question like this? Come to think of it , I don't even know why I"M responding! Peace.

Answer 4

You are right, if one reads the scriptures as literal, it is very disturbing. If one gets past the literal interpretation and reads it as a spiritual message, it makes more sense and is not disturbing. His son is a spirit that lives in us, which makes us one in Christ. But before he lives in us we have to acknowledge that he is first dead in us, to be awoken (raised). His body (spiritual) is broken (into pieces) for each of us to have a piece. It is spiritual food.

1Peter 2:5

[5] Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
[6] Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
[7] Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
[8] And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

See above "stumble at the word"
If the word makes one stumble or is offensive, it is not being seen properly

Answer 5

well so long as you're asking, god didn't kill his own son, he simply recognised the huge redeeming effect martyring him would have on the world.

also, jesus and god are not strictly different entities, they are two different aspects of the holy trinity known largely as god

as far as the drinking his blood and eating his body, it seems to me to be a catholic tradition designed to cause guilt about humanity killing him and therefore increase devotion to the faith. on a less sceptical day i would probably say it is merely imagery to make us remember his sacrifice.

Answer 6

God did not kill his own son..Jesus was the word of God..the words lives in us..when we believe(the Holy Spirit)..drinking his blood and eatting the flesh only means..to digest HIS word (Jesus)

Answer 7

God did not kill his son man did, God gave man free will, Jesus said at the last supper to take this bread and eat in in rembers of my body, and drink this wine in rembers of by blood which will be shead for you. So we have communtion in remebers of Jesus

Answer 8

God didn't "kill His own Son."

Jesus is God, who offered Himself up freely as the ultimate sacrifice for the taking-away of sin.

.

Answer 9

God raised Jesus to life again. It's about having complete trust in God.
To drink Jesus' blood means to accept his sacrifice, ie him dying for our sins and his blood being spilt. To eat his flesh means to read about him and use him as a living example of how to conduct yourself, listening to what he taught and applying it.

Answer 10

Once again you are focusing on 1 verse in the Bible that has nothing to do with the situation you are talking about.If you can't take the time to study it and learn what it means, why don't you just leave it alone? You just make your self look lazy and uneducated.
