Why was GOD bound by some rule to have to send someone to come and die so GOD will forgive us ?

Answer 1

he isnt and he didnt.

Answer 2

Pink Stealth answered your question.

The God who is Love planned all things before he even created them. Love is a creative force and wanted to share his love with creatures both angelic and human. But he gave them free will to choose.

For those who went against his will God planned a way to redeem them so he could get them back. He died once and for all for man kind.

Angels are beings that exist in spirit. So they are unable to get redemption by the shedding ob blood as humans do. Plus angels cannot die a physical death like man can.

God was bound by love, to keep all the humans. And he died for all human beings so there is no excuse for any human to reject him. He did not make them robots.

This is the short answer. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Not bound to a rule, the Godhead head decided in eternity past that they would redeem man back to God Almighty in that way....it's in the Book

Answer 4

We can debate philosophically why God would carry out such a thing, but we wouldn't be able to agree on anything because, despite all our scientific progress and despite whatever "the good book" claims about itself within itself, there simply is no real proof whatsoever. If anyone from either side of the argument could agree on one thing at all, it would at least be that.


But for the sake of adding a little perspective to your question, here's something most Christians never bother to realize:

The whole idea of sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins didn't just come out of nowhere. It holds roots in paganism, but for sake of argument I'll talk about where Christianity's *Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins* idea came from: Jewish tradition.

Look up "Yom Kippur."

Yep, in a nutshell of a nutshell, it's a Jewish day of atonement that involves lambs being sacrificed for our sins. And that's not the most interesting part; bear with me here...

During the oral period of Christianity (before around ~70CE), Jesus' disciples took it upon themselves to slowly usher Jews into their own sect, that is early Christianity (yes, it started as a Jewish sect). And one of the most effective ways of doing that was to manipulate ancient Jewish scriptures and mold them into an image of Jesus, so as to make it easy for Jews to crossover. For example, saying "you no longer need to sacrifice a lamb, because Jesus is our new lamb", et cetera et cetera. Sure, that was just a super-simplified example, but pause... Think about it. See what I'm saying? Do a little research on your own if how I'm explaining this is a little too confusing.

Either way, Jesus NEVER said it himself that he was "a sacrifice" for "our sins."

Answer 5

God did not make the rule, he made a plan,
He sent Jesus to come an die in our place, so when we ask him to come into our hearts, we can be changed from bad, to good, and have the same nature as God, to love one another, and read his word, God is looking for people who wants him as there father, and live the life as Jesus lead, one day we will all stand up in his face, and we better look like his first son, or he will not let us in to his kingdom made for his big family of God. Children of God, look like Jesus, due to his blood. Its not a rule, its faith believing, JESUS DIED FOR YOU.

Answer 6

I am hoping you get some good answers to this because I have asked it here before and all I ever get is the usual Christian BS that it is God's will and is beyond our understanding and who are we to question, ad nauseum.

The truth is that it is all a lot of made up nonsense designed to keep people afraid and in line, and the unfortunate truth is tha it works. Why it works is beyond me, it is so unbelievably illogical. I'm going to sit back and see what the usual crowd tries to come up with.

Answer 7

God makes the rules. He is bound by nothing.

Answer 8

St. Anselm did a nice piece on this topic. The idea is who was offended and what it would take to make up for that offense. For instance:

I say to my sister---I am going to kill you (she took the last piece of pizza). No one thinks much of it....everyone has a good chuckle.

I say to the police officer---I am going to kill you (he wrote me a ticket, the jerk!) . Well...I probably would be arrested.

I say to the President of the United States---I am going to kill you! (of course this would be after the next democrat is elected)....and I would probably be locked up for good, put in the psych. ward or in federal prison for the foreseeable future.

It is not so much the ACTION that is the issue as it is WHO was offended.

A mortal being cannot make restitution to an eternal being. Thus, only an eternal being can justify humanity.....

Answer 9

He isn't bound by any rules. That's what makes His decision to save us an act of love and grace.

He is, however, logical and consistent with His nature.

Answer 10

Why does a parent feel a need to go help a child, and which parent will it be?

GOD is THREE PERSONS, not just one. It was GOD HIMSELF that died for us, but this ONE of THREE PERSONS that fulfilled this SELF-Sacrifice had to become a SON, emptying HIMSELF of what is not proper to see submitted to such a humiliating task, and operating as submitted to the FATHER, to act in service to ONE not less than HIMSELF in fulfilling the Love of all THREE for us all.

Real Mithraism scholars, as opposed to fake wiccans, have proven that no one has MIthraic records. Christianity borrowed nothing from them, and the modern world knows nothing more of them than what Christian Church Fathers have reported to us. Many a false report by anti-Christians has been corrected by atheists in the field, who have checked the false references to details on images, etc. No literature exists from the cult though.

dude's [the poster by that name] sentence is inarticulate to me right now - what is being said there?

Answer 11

God is just. That's something that he always is, was, and will be. His justice is an attribute that if not there, would mean that he would not be holy either. All of the things that God is make him unchanging, he always has been, is, and will always be holy. His justice was what made his own action to reconcile us to himself necessary.
