I view this differently than most. God sent Jesus to show us how to be and that we too will suffer. All Jesus asked is believe in me have faith. When your suffering like I am on this cross pray to me believe in me I will help you.
I will not wave a wond and give you what you want but I will ease your discomfort till things within you change.
When we feel we are suffering believe in him pray to ease the discomfort of your diseases, fears, problem which might be attachement to people things etc.
I don't believe God is like a human and I don't believe we can even comprehend God with our small minds.
I feel if you can imagine God as being above human condition then God neither provides us good or bad he merely provides comfort to us and an ear upon which to dialog with our inner most essence. That place that no one can really know about us is our direct line to God.
God doesn't start war but man has used God to justify war.
It is interesting to me when people hold God responsible for this or that good or bad. Why does God allow this or that.
As I believe and understand it God gave us free will and unlike man he or she doesn't take it back over this issue or that issue.
If God as I have come to know of this God says there is eternity and salvation I believe. I have experienced in my darkest moments a comfort coming from where I cannot scientifically tell you but I felt and it has eased me back into life. I totally, expected to die and was accepting it and just then things turned around. God is an inside job and NO one call tell you what God truly is or isn't yet unmistakeably everyon knows that inner voice they held from childhood to old age that voice never ages it is always ageless. What seemed to have wisdom when you were young is the same as you age the difference is our ego likes to dominate so we have a poor connection with that inner voice.

hiiii..
did this really happen ??
when we read this verse of bible ....:
"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? "
was he willing to die ??? "why hast thou forsaken me?"
.....
and above all I have something to wonder about
WHO DIED ???
which nature ??
there r 3 choices ..
a-the one who dies was ...the God only ..
b-the one who dies was....the God and the human nature
c-The one who died was ...the human nature ...
If you are an orthodox ..then we cant talk about natures .."2 natures"...so ...the question stays with no answer for Orthodox ...
else >>>
all the christains refuse the first and the second choices ..why ???
it is so clear read this :" Who only hath immortality,"Timothy 6:16
"I live for ever."Deuteronomy 32:40
what about the last ??
if teh human was the one who dies on the cross ..then
1-where is the sacrifice that the God made ...he didnt die ....(???)
2-The sin of humans cant be carried by another human ...
read ...
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."Ezekiel 18:20
...........(???)(???)
WHO DIED ON THE CROSS ??
if this sacrifice what Jesus was sent for ...then why he didnt talk about it CLEARLY ??why didnt he say "I came to die on the cross ...and to clean your sins ?? " the first person to talk about this was PAUL .... not Jesus -peace be upon him-
y did jesus say that God forsaken him ??? isnt this what he was sent for ???
can you plz answer this ..
I love God ...and I believe taht he doesnt need all of this bloodshed to firgive us ....he gives the life ...he accepts the sinners ....without all of this blood and killing and and and ...
he is nearer than what we all expect
and he said in the Holy Quran :"Say: "O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of God, verily God forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Az-Zumar 39:53)
....
if you dont find a logical answer ..."who died ?"
then you may find more logical answers in here ...
http://www.55a.net/firas/english/?page=show_det&id=56&select_page=6
can you challenge yourself and ....give me an answer for the above ????
I am sorry If I was offensive ...I didnt mean to be disrespectful to you or to ur religion ....
It was only some thoughts ...
bye

That is the essence of 'love' isn't it. The willingness to forfeit ones own life for the sake of another. I imagine such feelings exist in most parents hearts when they nurse an ailing child................ or see their son go off to a senseless and bloody war.

It is certainly true that God is a God of love; indeed he is the very personification of love. And certainly that love moved him to provide deliverance for his (future) human children who had not yet been born. Immediately following the disobedience of the first couple, God took steps to deal with them; to deal with the serpent; to clear his holy name; and to put in place a means of deliverance of the future offspring of this disobedient pair. We read of it at Genesis 3:15.
We read at Romans 5:14 that “Death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam.” Yes, even though we did not sin as Adam did, still we are sinners so we need a deliverer. But is that the only issue involved? Well, was deliverance of the Hebrews the only issue in Egypt? Notice God’s own words at Exodus 9:16 to the haughty Pharaoh: “For this cause I have kept you in existence, for the sake of showing you my power and in order to have my name declared in all the earth.” Yes, though deliverance of his people was important to God, it was not the only issue involved. God’s name was involved and he purposed to have his name declared in all the earth. Else he would have simply delivered the Hebrews on the spot. It was not necessary to humiliate the gods of Egypt in order to secure the release of the Hebrews, was it? No, it was not. What has all that to do with our deliverance from sin and death?
We need to remember that the issue has not changed. In the Garden of Eden, God’s name and righteous rule was slandered by the serpent. God’s concern was not simply to deliver future humans but to deal with the slanderous charges against his rule and against his name. And what is necessary to deliver humans from sin and death? Is it necessary for God himself to die? Even if that were possible – and it must be remembered that it is not – the death of God is hardly necessary to deliver humans. Was God’s death necessary to deliver the Hebrews? Has it ever been necessary for God to die in order to deliver his human creation? Of course not! Moreover, it would violate God’s sense of justice if he were to die for humans. Why? Because, what was lost was human life – not the life of a divine person! A god did not die in that garden. A god did not disobey in that garden. The future offspring of Adam and Eve were not gods. We are all sinful humans – no more and no less.
Furthermore, to suggest that God Almighty died for us is to dance dangerously close to presumptuousness. What is presumptuousness? It is assuming a prerogative, privilege, or permission without warrant; overstepping due bounds; readiness to presume in conduct or thought. Indeed, presumptuousness makes a person proceed according to his own ideas. How presumptuous we would be if we were to proceed according to our own idea of what salvation involves and teach that God Almighty himself (in human form, incarnate, or whatever) died for us. How presumptuous it would be for us to presume, without warrant, that we are so special we need God Almighty Himself to die for us; to suggest that we are so important, that the Sovereign Lord of the Universe would violate his own justice and lay down his life for us! And we would be overstepping due bounds if we were to suggest that God could die IN ANY FORM for it would be in direct violation of scripture which teaches that God CANNOT die at all.
No, in the final analysis, God loved us so much that he sacrificed his only-begotten son who was born a perfect, sinless human that he might balance the scales of justice and ransom what Adam lost – the opportunity to live as a perfect human being forever. Adam was not a God. We are not Gods. There was no need for God to die. How thankful we should be that God CANNOT die.
