we needed sacrifice, not God

2007-01-15 02:13:56 · answer #1 · answered by narco_polo47 1 · 2 0

God dose not need sacrifice? The reason he did arrange the sacrifice of Jesus was to buy back the opportunity for humans to have a chance at the real life, that is life everlasting that the first man Adam lost for the human race. Adam could of lived indefinitely if he had not sinned. But because he did sin he fell short of God's requirements and in doing so passed sin on to all his offspring, You and I. God has made promises and he has kept all so far. He once favored a nation of people and the Hebrew writings support this, but because of that nations rebellion against God's rules or laws he divorced them. He did this when they caused his son to be murdered on a stake. After that he turned his attention to the nations or all nations to take out of them a people for his name. which you can read at Acts 15:14 . if you need more help I would be glad to guide you to the scriptural answers so you can research for yourself.. gem_stevens@msn.com

God gave us free will. When Adam AND Eve sinned in the garden. It was then absolutely neccessary for God to sacrifice his ONLY son (John 3:16) so that we might be able to be with him in Heaven. But WE need to take that step to have eternal life. Where there will be NO suffering. No Sacrifice. We still have free will. Even more so now. If you just play the odds what makes sence?

Because, He created mankind with free choice. Since we choose to do wrong, at times, He had to make a way for us to be able to be in his presence one day. He would only accept blood sacrifices, because, life is in the blood. He cannot be in the midst of sin, so to make a way he had to sacrifice His own Son for the final sacrifice. Jesus was perfect, so there would never have to be another sacrifice again after him. In the old Testament they had to sacrifice a spotless "clean" animal, that God would accept for the sin atonement. That is why Cain killed Abel. Abel gave God a blood sacrifice and Cain gave God a sacrifice of fruits and veggies (from the ground of his garden) and God couldn't accept it and it made Cain mad and jealous.

an difficulty-free argument from atheists and skeptics is that if all themes elect a reason, then God ought to also elect a reason. the end is that if God needed a reason, then God isn't God (and if God isn't God, then of direction there is no God). it truly is a quite better state-of-the-artwork kind of the classic question “Who made God?” all and sundry recognize of that some aspect does not come from not something. So, if God is a “some aspect,” then He ought to have a reason, precise? The question is difficult utilising reality it sneaks interior the pretend assumption that God were given the following from someplace and then asks the position that ought to wish to be. the answer is that the question does not even make journey. it truly is like asking, “What does blue heady scent like?” Blue isn't interior the kind of themes which have a heady scent, so the question itself is inaccurate. in the same way, God isn't interior the kind of themes that are created or presented about. God is uncaused and uncreated—He in effortless words exists. How do all and sundry recognize this? all and sundry recognize that from not something, not something comes. So, if there have been ever a time at the same time as there replaced into actual not something in existence, then not something would have ever come into existence. yet themes do exist. subsequently, pondering there ought to wish to by no skill were actual not something, some aspect had to have continuously been in existence. That ever-cutting-facet challenge is what we call God. God is the uncaused Being that presented about each and each aspect else again into existence. God is the uncreated author who created the universe and each and each aspect in it.

To brake a law of God means the death penalty. Some one must pay. The only person who would be qualified to take a sinners place would be one who never had sinned. But all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

So in the Old Testament God allowed animals to be sacrificed, not to forgive the sins, but to put the payment off until God gave us His perfect sacrifice. So He sent us Jesus, and He willing died for our sins. And we can be forgiven of our sins if we will accept His sacrifice and live for Him.

I doubt you will get a satisfactory answer. I say that because I understand your question, but the bible claims a perfect God cannot look upon imperfection. Man is an imperfect creature. He was created perfect but sinned according to the bible thus making himself imperfect so as God cannot look at him, so that is why the sacrifice. First it was the blood of bulls and goats, but that lasted only a years, so he had to create a perfect by using part of himself being born of a virgin, living a perfect, sinless life and being the perfect sacrifice for sins.

God created everything. He created man and woman in His image. He knew they would not be perfect, and the temptation of sin would cause them to fall. Yet He created them anyway. When Adam and Eve were in the garden, they were perfect. They had the perfect immune system, perfect bodies, perfect everything. Then sin entered the picture. They were no longer perfect, for sin was in their hearts. They could no longer see God everyday. They would live sad, miserable lives. All humanity would be destined to failure until Jesus came. He needed the animal sacrifices to bring people closer to Him. Once Jesus was sacrificed, animals were no longer necessary. That's why He's called the "Lamb of God". I hope that clears some things up.

Since we are so sinful and God is so good; God required a sacrifice once and for all to bring us back together that if we just believe in His Son Jesus Christ, then we will be saved.

The sacrifice was needed because God's creation did not follow the one rule he gave them. Because God is just; he came up with a solution to satisfy the sin. He sent his son Jesus, to pay the fine of our betrayal. To cover the sins of the world.

God also gave us ten other rules, maybe you've heard of them, for us to live by. Unfortunately, we could not do that either. But I have come to realize that the ten commendments were given to us so that we could realize that we needed Jesus.

The penalty for sin was death for all people for all time.

God passed judgement at that point and result of that judgement was death - forever.

Christ paid the penalty for all men for all time.

As a God could only pronounce such a judgement, then only the sacrifice of a God could pay the price.

Now because of paying the penalty for our sin, we now have life.

Its not about sacrificing something to God to give him ownsership.

It is about paying the penalty for our crime.

It would be like a man taking the electric chair to free everyone on death row.
