I'm sorry that your answers to this question were pathetic.
I'm always doing that to the religiously convinced because I know more about your religion than you do.
One of you said Jesus volunteered to be sacrificed.
Would that make him anything like the 9/11 hijacker martyrs or the Jesuits in early Canada?
Another said the Aztecs had many Gods. What difference that makes I don't know.
What amazes me most though is how you all, who study the Bible together, contradict yourselves and stumble over each other when saying Jesus died , lived again or was resurrected, was a man and a God. Well did he die or not? I can't tell what you really think you know.. You should perhaps discuss this among yourselves off-line and submit a community answer.
Remember the Aztecs had "faith" too.
But the facts of Jesus' voluntary sacrifice of his human life to appease an God angry with man etc should be as obvious to you as they are to me.
Why don't you just accept it and move on?

You're right about that. The imaginary god of judeo-christian religion demands blood, flesh, sacrifice of every human he gets annoyed with.

Nobody knows the truth. I've learnt about the few major religions of the world and I've found something in common. We should not kill or hurt others and we should be polite at all times. This is very true and as long we do good and don't do bad that is the main thing. All we should consider is what I can do for the world while I am alive because we never know when we will die. If we can do enough good we can be god. This is not some fairytale. We actually can become god ourselves if we do good and meditate enough. It could be scientifically proven.

Apparently you have forgotten, or never knew, about the penalty of sin. There has only been one sacrifice "sufficient" to cleanse sin forever. Understand it?? -no one really does. To seek an answer to something you could never possibly comprehend will be a frustrating task for you. It is obviously showing already. "Faith" is really a silly word. It simply means what you believe. The Aztecs believed in some pagan god. What do you have faith it? I certainly hope, for your sake, that you faith is not wrapped up in your intelligence. It would be a "sin" for you to burn in hell only because you were too smart to trust God.

There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus died to satisfy the perfect justice of God. He was the only one who could do so. Because he is God and therefore omnipresent he will always be nailed to that cross always be laid in the tomb, always be in hell proclaiming God's solution to sin to those who would not except the truth of God who died before the days of the Lord mortal life. That is the one thing that makes His sacrifice so different from all the others you mentioned. I am glad you understand the Gospel as much as you do you will understand my answer when so many others that like you deny His divinity would not. Jim
Oh in case you want a biblical reference for the timelessness of Christ here it is..
John 8:58
Jesus said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.

No, Jesus' Sacrifice Is the Only Sacrifice which Pleases God.

It is not correct to say that Jesus died for us voluntarily, but it was written on the prophecy that he will be nailed on the cross and die on the cross to show that God have sacrificed his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ for the sake of mankind and for us to believe that there is God.
In sending Jesus to earth to be a man and be born to a Virgin woman who is Mary is a test of God to mankind whether we are obeying the law of God or not, yet the Jews did not believe Jesus so that they nailed him to the cross which caused his death. and on this matter, the prophecy was fulfilled. Meaning that the words of the prophet are true to be done to Jesus.

You misunderstood the lesson. It became the Aztecs that did the ritual killings. They sacrificed and burned human beings alive to assuage their Gods. The Spanish killed them over abomination. They observed of their prejudices that it became homicide, for this reason they ought to die. Granted it became narrow minded. How does genocide ensue? Uneducated human beings form their own conclusions and the act on misconceptions and assumptions. merely as you probably did not verify your information first and additionally you published blasphemy without 2d theory. Jesus did a super form of complicated artwork and committed His life to humanity and willingly gave His life so as that His may be the final sacrifice. God did this to attempt to place an and to the violence. It became guy who made the judgment of right and incorrect determination to homicide a race. not God who commanded it.

hmmm, yes that was technically his purpose, but Jesus was supposed to be the final sacrifice. Something so important that it made up for all the sins in the world in the coming ages.
That's why Christians don't do the sacrifice thing much anymore, we don't have to, Jesus was that sacrifice
