what was the point of Jesus dying? couldnt we be 4given w/o it, God is all powerful, right?

Question

just doesnt make sense, at all. why did He have to come down here and die? to what end? and why all the guessing games, why is the word of God (bible) so vague about theactual gospel, as to be open to any madmans interpretation? and more than that, why the elaborate plan, where we have to lead such stuffy lives, full of fear and questioning .just look a the book of revelations. seems like God is either away from
his desk, and we got it way wrong or the whole thing is a figment
toughts?

Answer 1

I asked the same question a while back. I agree, god being god invalidates Christ. If he is god he has the power to forgive us. Just like that, he can do it. So why send some guy to die. Doesn't make any sense.

Answer 2

The Bible was written hundreds and hundreds of years ago.....Have you ever read it and wondered how it is that someone who has been dead for so long could possibly see the future and how it was that so many people wrote about the same thing and all agreed having NEVER met each other, some even lived hundreds of years apart!! Sure there are people today who claim to be able to see the future but here is a little test you can use on them. If anyone ever claims something to be true but is proved wrong (EVER) then they are a false teacher and you know to avoid them.
Now...to the point of Jesus dying on the cross for us.
Jesus was sent to earth to teach us the way to salvation. We all have free will to accept or reject His gift. He was sent to bring peace to the earth. He died as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. If it hadn't been for his sacrifice on the cross then we would forever be seperate from God because nothing we can ever do is enough to become clean in the eyes of a perfect Father. We have all sinned (yes, even Mother Mary sinned) and we ALL need forgiveness and to be found blameless on judgement day.
The Bible can be confusing but I have found that the closer I pull to God, the simpler it all is to understand. A good rule of thumb....unless there is evidence surrounding a passage that indicates that something is symbolism then take it literally. If you do this then more will make sense to you.
It sounds like you are in search of some pretty deep answers. I would recommend that you talk with a preacher and have a one on one conversation because there is so much more than anyone can write here.

God made us to have free will. He doesn't want slaves (if he did, then guess what....we would ALL be just that) He desires praise, submission, and obedience. He loves us that much.

Answer 3

All that you heard about him are subject to great scrutiny. It was the Christian religions that made him what he is. If you are one of them, you have to get out to see it outside the box.
It is not a figment of thoughts and The Book of Revelations is to reveal the truth. If you will read it carefully with eyes on the details to every chapter, you will really find that there is great deception going on.
Actually, if you are a real Christian and you really try to understand it, you will not even dare to pick some words from that Book as it will tell you thing as if you are looking into the mirror.

...If you doubt the man who claims who he is there, just read his messages because that is all what he wants. He does not even want you to praise him and he is not building up a church. He just wants you to be informed. Some of your questions will be given answers.

Answer 4

In the days before Jesus came to earth, people would have to bring animals such as goats and turtledoves to the priest in order to be forgiven of their sins. When Jesus came to earth, his life was more of an example for Christians to follow. He showed us that we should be following the will of God and God's will for Jesus was to die on the cross so that everyone from Adam to the last person that will be born will be saved from all of our sins.

Answer 5

I think it is very kind of you to offer to assist God with his plan but since God already made the plan and gives you the opportunity to accept it wouldn't it be easier to adjust your plan to him. God is waiting .
