The funny thing about that is, Once God intervened to the people, they repented and worshiped him. But as time went along, they kept forgetting about him. And sometimes when you do something over and over, it becomes routine. So, in a sense it was another way to intervene to the people. Only this time by the flesh, or physically.
And think about this: If Jesus trial was in the day time there stood a chance of revolt from the masses, and then the Roman Empire would have to get involved. And then Christ maybe wouldn't have have died.

He was showing us how much He loves us and by dying for us He was showing us that love. And no there couldn't have been a way God could have Because some one had to take all the sin from people and Jesus did that's why we can make our know decisions because of what he did. I will pray for you. God Bless You. And There is a God I know it because I felt like all the peaces that were missing are with me know that I have accepted.

Just because God is all powerful doesn't mean that He is able to do everything. For instance, He can't lie, He can't be inconsistent, He can't be unjust.
And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, *for when you eat of it you will surely die*." Genesis 2:16-17
God cannot lie. (Titus 2:1)
In case you can't connect the dots, God means what He says & says what He means. Is this not a good quality? In order to carry through with His warning (and be consistent) He had to punish someone & it had to be His Son, the God-man who could fulfill His requirements perfectly. (It was either all humans for all time, or Jesus.)
Be thankful.

No. He is all powerful so that He could die and pay the penalty of Sin, and rise and continue His Life. Inviting us to join Him once we've been redeemed from Sin, through His Payment.

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God he told them they would die if they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowlege of good and evil. When they covered themselves with fig leaves he knew that they didnt understand what they had done. He slew an animal in front of them and made them wear its skin to remind them of what they had done. They then had to sacrifice animals for their forgiveness but the only real forgiveness was some one pure had to die. That is why he sent his son to die but he gave his son power to raise himself from the dead. Jesus said I am the resurrection. He has the power to raise everyone from the dead

But Jesus is “God the Son”. Throughout the Bible, isn’t it “God the Father” who’s said to have created everything? So if Jesus is the form of God that created everything, then Jesus is “God the Father”, and, thus, Jesus sent some kind of sub-Jesus to Earth. Or something? When they say that Jesus is “seated at the right hand of the father,” are they saying that Jesus is sitting on his own hand? I don’t know. No wonder fundamentalists are so incredibly ******* confused about everything their mind encounters. If this kind of logic is the product of their mental framework…

NO..GOD who is HOLY..could NOT touch ADAM..who committed the FIRST SIN..becaue holiness of GOd..is so pure..that it destroy vessel carrying sins..that is why..jewish priest had to place blood of whatever on thier right toe..right thumb and right ear lobe..if their heart has a sin in it..they died in the presence of GOd..holy of Holies tent.
and that is why a rope is on their ankle if they died.
So you see..GOd can't Bbreak..his own word..it would make GOD..a hypocrite..adn satan would win..and be forever ruler over humanity.

logic? you're trying to use logic on a religion that adheres to the belief in human blood sacrifice for the appeasement of a wrathful god? silly you.

The penalty for the sin of mankind had to be paid. He willingly sent his own son to pay the price for you and me.

Yes, but when he used the living illustration of "his son" dying for us, he was able to convey the depth of his love for us, and not only that , but he wanted us to have the option of choosing to follow him or not. I f we don't WANT to be with him, why should he force us!!??
