who was so unhappy about his people doing the wrong thing that he sent his son into the towns and villages to tell them just how good the king is and they must change their ways,all the time knowing that he would be killed,but that was the kings plan because that way all his people would then be free of their sins,how dumb is that?sounds like a good idea for a book ((fiction of course)what do you think people?.

what is the point of god sacrificing his son if he knows that he can resurect him ,so the whole thing is just a waste of time because the outcome was known before the event.

A Jewish insurrectionist and his cult fail to deliver a purified Temple, remove the Romans, and establish a Jewish Kingship and Priesthood. He died for crimes against the state. The rest is evolved fiction and hagiography.

Your story is inaccurate. Suppose you tell it as it should be:
There was a King who had some very loyal subjects but there were also some who were very disloyal and caused a revolt in his kingdom. The King sent many servants to warn them to repent but one by one the servants were killed. Being a King respected by most he decided to send his only son knowing that no matter what these rebels might do to him he had the power to undo their damage. He sent his son who shouted a warning, one so great it was heard for thousands of years. The rebels hated hearing the truth about what was to happen if they did not stop their distructive behavior. Many listened to him and changed their bad ways, but some did not. They killed the son, just as the King thought they might. The King then did just as he had purposed to do and raised his son from the clutches of death as this was a King with more power than any King had ever had or would ever have in the future. When the prince awoke from death he was rewarded for his faithfulness, you see he had been promised a kingdom filled with all the loyal servants who would listen to his voice. Those who had died before him would also be rewarded, they too would in time be released from the clutches of death and returned to life in a paradise. Those who were disloyal and rebellious would soon be destroyed by the Kings army. They would get no further warnings. At that time, all faithful servants of the King would live happily ever after.
Does this sound like a fairy tale to you? It isn't. You choose, are you a rebel, soon to be destroyed, or are you a faithful and loyal servant of the King.

When man sinned against God in the beginning, the bond, the relationship was broken between the divine creator and the created being. No, by this I am not necessarily saying that Adam and Eve actually existed...Etc. Nor am I saying that the events known in genesis, as the fall of man are actual events (but I’m also not saying they’re false!). But the truth is, it doesn’t matter whether or not they are actual events. You see there is a point behind that story be it historically true or not, which is that man, in his early existence left God, and was corrupted by sin...
Since man is sinful in nature, he cannot be the one to reinstall the friendship, the relation between himself and his creator. He [man] is also unfit for such a task as he is not omniscient, and may be able to relate to himself but not to the divine being [because of the sinful nature]. That is why the peacemaker had to be someone, fully human to be part of the race that needs reconciliation, and fully Divine, to be the omniscient creator that has known the offence personally and yet willing to forgive.
This person is found in Jesus Christ, the Lord and Saviour. He is fully divine [God] and fully human at the same time. He has two natures the human and the divine, both of which are inseparable. That is why (sorry for going out of the subject, but will be good for the sake of an example) the Virgin Mary, who is the biological mother of Jesus in his human form (his divine form has existed since eternity, and was not created by her) is called the Mother of God, as both natures are inseparable...
And so, Jesus, the perfect negotiator, the lamb who was the sacrifice of the Divine power that was offended by humans’ sin, was sent to reconcile humans and God...
Another, perhaps more personal theory, is that alongside this, Jesus was sent to teach us unconditional love! By committing this act, God the father taught humans [those who care to learn] about unconditional love. He taught us about how such a perfect being like Christ, the perfect Lamb, was sacrificed for the sake of our sins even though he was innocent. You see God created the angels and they glorified Him and Loved Him, but in return for seeing his Glory! As for us humans the purpose of sending His only Son, was to teach us unconditional love. That is, to love him, without seeing his glory with our eyes. To love him for the knowledge that he is such a loving God... To have the choice, unlike the angels, who could not resist loving him after seeing his eternal splendour and glory.
I pray that God may bless you, and us all, he whose Glory is Beyond glorified Glory... Amen.

Throughout history many kings have sacrificed their sons, so why should the supreme being not sacrifice part of himself. God is god is god! The thing we call God from whatever religion is basically the same thing. God purveys without and within. Like it or not we are all part of him.

Learn more about the story of the role of Jesus in salvation. Your story bears no resemblance. You are missing the point entirely.

I think there's still time for you to repent and believe in the only One who can save you from sin......Jesus Christ.

It was God himself in the flesh who died for us, can you tell us of any other gods who died for their people?
