two great paradoxis one tid bit?

Question

1st church claims suicide is bad will go to hell? Didn't jesus basically commit suicide?
Tid Bit every time I come across the words I love you .In my mind I replace them with I want to control You.
2nd god so loved the world he killed he only son?

Answer 1

First of all,Christianity does not say that suicide will send you to hell. I don't know where you got that.
You say "Tid Bit every time I come across the words I love you .In my mind I replace them with I want to control You". What does that mean? Do you never allow anyone to love you? Either that isn't really true of you or you're a real rock....an island.
Secondly, God didn't kill his Only Son......you did and so did I. God sent His Son to die for your sins and mine so that both of us could have eternal life with Him if we accept what He did for us.

Answer 2

Very interesting questions. Even as a non-christian, though, I can see a few answers.
1) Jesus could be considered a martyr rather than a suicide victim. From my interpretation, martyrdom is knowingliy putting yourself in a situation where you're very likely to get killed for the sake of a cause more valuable than your life. Suicide is simply using death as a control mecahnism to escape from problems you're facing in this life. Jesus could be considered of hte first group, since his death was not as important as absolving the sins of all humanity. Which basically is question 2. But to make it official,
2) Jesus's death was not as important as absolving the sins of all humanity. Thus, in the Christian perspective, Jesus's purpose as the Son was to die. However, because he is the Son he does not die in the final, material sense that others do. I think. You'll have to clarify with a christian for that last part.

Answer 3

Jesus allowed himself to be killed. That is not the same as suicide. God did not kill his son, men did. And I am not sure about your concept of love and control. You must have gotten some bad programing somewhere. Love is giving, not getting. The control is only self control.

Answer 4

Jesus was a willing sacrifice. He loved you that much, yet you mock him.

He came here knowing he would die, and yes it was in God's plan the whole time. But it was not suicide.

Pontius Pilate gave the people a choice for who to free. One prisoner would go free, the other would be crucified.... their choices were Barabbas-- a known criminal, and Jesus. They chose to set Barabbas free.

That is how depraved most of mankind is. They would rather live among thieves and murderers than have a Savior who would give his life for them in their midst.

Answer 5

The last part of your detail says that God Killed His own son. Funny, I always thought it was Pilate and the Roman Soldiers.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas

Answer 6

I think I get the first part. You are saying that since he knew he was going to die and walked willingly into it, he was commiting suicide, i agree interesting....then you lose me after that

Answer 7

I don't see a question here to answer ... but I think your reasoning is a bit twisted. So, I'll just say NO to your statements, disguised as a question.

Answer 8

Wow, that's heavy duty.
You did forget, however, the translation used by most teen boys. I love you means I want sex.

Answer 9

If you die for others then it must be okay. It is a frightening thought if you follow that through with current events.

Answer 10

Christianity isn't based on logic, reality, rationality, or reason. That's why it's called religion.
