Have I got it right this time?

Question

God sacrificed Himself to Himself to appease Himself for wrongs done to Himself.

Serious responses please, I'm not trying to mock anyone, I'm just trying to understand the concept.

OK Hani, but His only son would be Jesus and everyone says that Jesus is God, so this statement is still valid, right?

I'm on my way Tod :P

Answer 1

Yes, mostly. Here's an old story that serves as an analogy.

A young lady caught speeding in a new sports car given to her by her father is forced to appear before the local judge. The young woman pleads guilty and the judge sentences her to a $1000 fine or 30 days in jail per the county statute for speeding. The young woman cannot pay the $1000 and as the sheriff readies to take her away, the judge stands up takes off his robe and lays it aside, pulls out his wallet and pays the fine for the girl, his daughter so she wouldn't have to.

You might say that he would've just let her off, since he was the judge and she his daughter. To do so would've violated the integrity of his office as judge, he would not be just, nor would county justice have been served. She committed not only a wrong against him (she misused the gift he gave as well his trust he placed in her when he gave the car to her), but also a wrong against the community. To allow to rot in jail when he had the power to save her would not be loving either so he paid the price of her penalty himself (the sacrifice).

Yes, humans violated God's laws. We could not pay the penalty for our sin, only God could. In order to do this, He became one of us, laying aside His privileges as God (Philippians 2)and paid it in full Himself, satisfying the need for justice. Does that help you understand the concept?

Answer 2

no God sacrificed Himself to us who sinned against Him and appeased nobody. it wasn't appeases it was a passion He had for us God is so holy he can't look at sin but loves us too much to let the very things He hates take the things He loves away from Him, so much to the point that the ultimate sacrifice (Himself) so the Blood of Christ will cover us. read the book of John even the old testament to teach you this. Christ is from the beginning to the end of the Bible. He is the Alpha and Omega!

Answer 3

Please verify on HP: http://www.bythebible.page.tl/

-- that Christ is not God, nor a part of God. There are several pages proving scripturally was the Bible teaches.

Christ had to have a pre-human existence for the ransom to work.

He had to be born of a human woman for him to be related to us and to be a corresponding ransom to what Adam lost; otherwise he couldn't become the 2nd Adam.

He is the way to God, the mediator. As such he stands as a bridge, a road, between the Almighty God, Jehovah or Yahweh.

Only through Christ can we approach God since only Christ's blood can cleanse us of our sin. Only cleansed ones can approach God.

Answer 4

God created the universe. He is on the side of family values. His Son came to earth, although I think that Mary was expressing surprise at the news that Jesus would become the king of Israel when she said that she had never "known or perceived a man/people" rather than surprise at how the conception had occurred.

I think that Jesus did not die on the cross. I think it was his disciples' fantasy. I'm Christian. We definitely do need to approach God for forgiveness as he is the one who has given us the rights that go along with responsibilities such as parenting in the first place.

Answer 5

When mankind sinned they pulled the plug on life the wadges or natural effects of sin is death, did you notice that when Adam and Eve sinned they tried to hid from God, in Gen.3 God asked [and according to John 1, John 8:58 and Hebrews13:8 that person WAS Jesus and is God] where are you, now being God He knows everything and when God asks a question is is ALWAYS for our benifit not for His information, were are you in relationship to me as apposed to where you were, now comes the point of sacrifice, someone had to die, the natural effects of sin is to die, so Jesus paid a debt He DID NOT owe "BECAUSE" WE [you and me] owe a bill we can NOT pay, God is A God of Love but He is also The God of Justice, so He HIMSELF paid you bill on Calvary, WOW as is says and allow me to redo two famous verses both are in John, John 3:16 and John 14:15 together in a new way, "For God [The Father] "SO" Loved YOU that He gave [Jesus Gave Himself] that "IF" you will BE-LIVE in Him [satan believes and trembles James 2:19 belief is not enough] and Love Him enough to keep His commandments [not suggestions] then you will love Him enough to have [HIS] eternal life, its one of Two choices His Love and salvation or His Justice but He allows you to pick which it is, find out more the "conditions" upon which life is offered free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org email me also [e-mail] God bless

Answer 6

The Bible teaches us that Jesus has two natures: God and man. This is known as the doctrine of they hypostatic union. Jesus is still both God and man, divine and human, at the same time. Jesus, as one person, exists with two natures. The divine nature "joined" with the human nature in the one person of Christ. The divine nature did not change at all in this "joining." Now, please note that the divine nature did not combine with the human nature and form a new nature called the god-man nature. That is known as monophycitism, and is incorrect.
