Why would an omnipotent, omnipresent god need to sacrifice it's flesh and blood son for our sins?

Answer 1

Please follow the argument below:

1. God exists. (Gen. 1:1)
2. God is infinite (Psalm 90:2, 147:5; Jer. 23:24)
3. God is holy (Isaiah 6:3; Rev. 4:8)
4. God is righteous (Neh. 9:32-33; 1 Thess. 1:6)
5. Therefore, God is infinitely holy and just.

6. Furthermore, God speaks out of the character of what He is. (Matt. 12:34)
7. God spoke the Law (Ex. 20:1-17)
8. Therefore, the Law is in the heart of God and is a reflection of God's character since it is Holy and Good. (Rom. 7:12

9. Furthermore, to break the Law of God is to offend Him since it is His Law that we break. This sin results in an infinite offense because God is infinite.
10. Furthermore, it is also right that God punish the Law breaker. To not punish the Law breaker (sinner) is to allow an offense against His holiness to be ignored. (Amos 2:4; Rom. 4:15)

11. God says that the person who sins must die (be punished). The wages of sin is death. (Eze. 18:4; Rom. 6:23)
12. The sinner needs to escape the righteous judgment of God or he will face damnation. (Rom. 1:18; Matt. 25:46)
13. But, no sinner can undo an infinite offense since to please God and make things right, he must obey the Law, which is the standard of God's righteous character. (Gal. 2:16, 2:21)
14. But the sinner cannot fulfill the law because he is sinful (in the flesh). (Rom. 8:3)
15. Since the sinner cannot fulfill the law and satisfy God, it follows that only God can do this.

16. Jesus is God in flesh. (John 1:1, 1:14; Col. 2:9)
17. Jesus was also a man under the Law. (1 Tim. 2:5; Gal. 4:5-6)
18. Jesus became sin for us and bore our sins in His body on the cross, thus fulfilling the Law. (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; Rom. 8:3-4)
19. Therefore, salvation is by grace through faith since it was not by our keeping the Law, but by Jesus, God in flesh, who fulfilled the Law and died in our place. (Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 3:13; Eph. 5:2)

20. A person must believe and claim Christ’s atoning sacrifice as their own in order to be made righteous before God. Such a true believer will be known from their works as they seek to keep Christ’s commandments.

Answer 2

Sacrificing a son has been in history an effective way to get sympathy and power. Omnipotent and omnipresent are all fake attributes of a god.

Answer 3

You fail to understand the significance of the sacrifice.
In this court, there stood only one possible sacrifice to make things right for mankind's repentance.
Only one person pure enough to do for mankind what he did.
Adam was without sin, not having come from man and woman. He sinned by disobedience. thus mankind was tainted.
Jesus birth was necessary and needed to produce a sinless sacrifice, also not coming from the genes of man.
He was holy from birth and remained so until they put him to death.
You cannot criticize the purity of God / Jehovah, or his demands for continued purity.
Remember your challenge may cause you to answer to the supreme being. this isn't trivia your fooling with.
It's no child's game. I do hope this answers your needs. If not, perhaps our website can be of some help....Good fortune to you.

Answer 4

God is so holy He cannot look upon sin. Therefore, pure blood had to be shed to atone for our sins.
Jesus was the last sacrifice. He died so there would be no more sacrifices made.
Meatbot above me...why can't you just accept the fact that we have to do things Gods way? Not ours.

Answer 5

Actually, He didn't NEED to. Nothing compelled Him to do so except for His love for us.
As to why He CHOSE to do so, it's because the wages of sin is death. This is not an arbitrary decision on God's part, but the demands of justice. Such is the nature of the breach we've created between us and God that He cannot simply ignore it and cannot let it go unpunished. But rather than direct the punishment at those who deserve it, it has instead decided to bear the full brunt of it Himself.

Answer 6

Justice and balance. A perfect man screwed it up for everyone, so only a perfect man could restore the balance. A perfect human could not come from two imperfect parents. Jesus was ready and willing to do his Father's will, so he went.

True, God could have just wiped Adam & Eve out before they had children. Just remember, we would not have existed either.

Answer 7

No he wouldnt. God is above that, He has the ability to forgive us without any form of sacrifice. All that is needed is for us to ASK, that is it.

Answer 8

sounds like a blood sacrifice to me....kinda like what christians claim pagans do when pagans don't. Oh well I guess that just proves that they can't pratice what they preach.

Answer 9

It wouldn't. It could do anything it wants including just forgiving us outright.

Answer 10

Because none of us were worthy to be scarificed for our own sin(s).
