Still could have died for our sins, no?

No: we would still be under the law and there would be no, New Testament

No- because without the shedding of blood- there is no forgiveness of sins. There had to be suffering for sin- and instead of it being us that suffered by being eternally separated from God- Jesus took our sins upon Himself so that we can live. If Jesus had just died of natural causes,what sacrifice would that have been? and also He would not have risen from the dead- to be victorious over death

No. Why? Because sin can only be forgiven by a blood sacrifice. Jesus was that sacrifice. Sin was nailed to the cross with Jesus. He a perfect human being became sin and died and went to hell and resurrected so we could have eternal life. He did that so we would not have to taste death or hell. Its your choice to accept that gift or not.

Wow, all that talk of blood sacrifice makes me very glad I'm no longer Christian. Really wouldn't work out well with the animist side of me.
If Jesus has been a woman, would her natural courses have counted as a painful, bloody sacrifice? Or what about childbirth? That's painful, bloody, and brings new life into the world. (Or if Jesus had been a woman, would the sacrifice have been an abortion?)

properly at first Jesus isn't lifeless He have been resurrected and is amazingly lots alive in the dominion of Heaven. while He had risen on the third day He defeated dying, no longer purely of the physique yet in addition the eternal spirit He had defeated unique sin. the only reason we are in a position to seem forward to having eternal existence in the dominion of Heaven and the resurrection of the lifeless is by using Jesus. And sometime all of mankind would be resurrected wherein our bodies would be incorruptible (immortal) like our Lord Jesus' physique. So besides the actuality that this is been over 2,000 years seance Jesus entered into the dominion of Heaven His physique being immortal has no longer elderly wherein he remains bodily 33 a million/2 years old. needless to say Christians like myself have faith he will sometime return back.

No because God left unpunished the sin committed before by his children, but being a holy God he must judge sin so instead of whacking us for what we deserve Jesus came and took it for us and now you can get his Holy spirit, here is how!

Nope.
The prophecies in the Old Testament pointed to an anguishing and sorrowful death. If he didn't die when it foretold, that would mean He was not the Son of God, because it would be just another prophecy... One example of that is the Jehova's Witnesses (Sorry guys).

No.
You know how people used to sacrifice lambs to cleanse themselves of sin?
Well, Jesus came as the perfect, spotless lamb to die for us.
Basically, bloodshed was needed from a perfect sacrifice in order to save us.

If you read Leviticus, it shows that the spilling of Blood is necessary for the atonement of sin.(read about the sin sacrifices and atonement sacrifices)

Interesting question. Since He was without sin, He would not have died.

If Jesus didn't die for us by cruxifiction with much suffering, we would never understand His love for us.
