how could you respect some one who let his own son die?

Question

Jesus died to save us all and for thet i hold him the outmost respect and gratitude but his father, he let his son die just to glorify himself. Jesus represents pure goodnes and god, is selfish... i rather go to hell then give my allegiance to him!
and all people who "love" god you dont love him you are just afraid of him. love have no conditions the only true love is between a man and a woman, think of that why allmighty god needs your love to him why dose he need you us as believers.
how can you follow him, he killd his son!

Answer 1

I ask myself the same question. My mother says it is the hardest thing in the world to give up a child but Jesus was the one who languished in agony on the cross. Jesus was the one who made the ultimate sacrifice. I struggle with this question myself and I don't really have an answer.

Answer 2

That's funny. You say you have the utmost respect and gratitude for Jesus, but you despise the Father. Well, Jesus had no problem with the Father's plan, and carried it out willingly. You can't love one and hate the other. They are one.

And you think the love between a man and a woman has no conditions? If you think that, you've never been in love.

By the way, Jesus died so that you could have a personal relationship with God. If you reject God, you reject Jesus' sacrifice. I don't recommend that.

Answer 3

God is showing you how much he loves you.
It shows a great deal of love to die for someone else, but if you are a Father you should know it is much harder to give up your only son as a sacrifice. Remember they are a trinity. Father,Son,Holy Spirit. In the beginning the Bible say let us create man in our image. Jesus was always there and this was there plan and his Father did know what man would do and so did Jesus, Being created in there image don't just mean what we look like it also means what we desire in our hearts and how we feel. Jesus was here to show us how to live and he prayed to his Father, If the Father was sent should he have prayed to his son- that seams a bit backwards.
I would die in place of my son any given time, but God is much bigger than us and it is much harder to give you only son and he didn't kill him man did his Father resurrected him and brought him back. Yes you should fear God because he is the most powerful but that is a healthy fear, But to say you love one and not the other can not be, they are one, they think the same, want the same, love the same and are just the same.

Answer 4

Jesus laid down His own life: He did so for love of mankind: He did so and God the Father raised Him up and gave Him the Name that is above all other names.
As a result, all who take Jesus as God, Lord and Saviour enter into heaven, predestined to be like Christ. God the Father NEVER MADE Jesus offer Himself; He allowed Jesus, before the world was created, to know the result, and what was required to save us. Jesus willingly and obediently accepted that cost on Himself.

I suppose, with your way of thinking, that everyone who allowed their children to go to war and fight the Nazis/Japanese/Islamic butchers were also 'selfish'? Well, this is a similar thing, and here is an answer that may (or may not) make you think again about what you believe:

War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
~ John Stuart Mill

Jesus is the One whose exertions in the flesh made this particular miserable creature, with no chance under his own merits, free: and His blood KEEPS me free, that I may serve Him as long as He sees fit before He calls me home.

May God bless you if you seek Him.

Answer 5

There is no death of the spirit, there is only a death of the body. The body is created out of dust and returns to the dust.

What is it to God if a person suffers a few moments when there is an eternity to be lived?

If you live 120 years in your body and 1 trillion years as a spirit, and eternity is much longer than a trillion years, the 120 years is to the trillion years as 7 minutes is to the 120 years.

7 minutes to make a decision that lasts a hundred and twenty years and you decide to make a bad choice because you are uncomfortable for that 7 minutes.

Answer 6

That's the wonder of it all.

Jesus didn't HAVE to go through with it.
The bible says He had twelve legions of angels waiting to destroy the world (Matthew 26:53) but Jesus' desire was to fulfill the will of the Father - even unto death.

Philippians 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

God didn't send His Son just for His glory. Jesus was the ONLY person capable of restoring our link to the Father, after man's fall in the garden.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Amazing love.
Hallelujah.

Answer 7

If Jesus had only died and that was the end of it you would have a good point. But as Paul Harvey says "And now the rest of the story!".

"For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you,

what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:15-23

Answer 8

How can we not? If Someone gives up His most pecious Possession for us, how could we be ungrateful?

Secondly, Jesus was ready and willing. He did pray that the "cup would pass from Him," but nevertheless He ended His prayer with "Thy will be done." Then, when He was seized, He declared that if He wanted help, the Father--i.e. His Father, God--would still send legions of angels to His aid (if He called for them). Yet He didn't, and He went to death willingly.

Thirdly, Jesus is God. It's part of the Trinity, so in a way God Himself died in our place. Since God and Jesus are part of the Trinity, how can we love One but not the Other? That's like saying, "I love you yet I don't."

Fourthy, God deserves everything, all praise, all glory, because He by definition is Good and created everything. He deserved everything even before Jesus died, when we were all going to Hell. How much more does He deserve it now! God is a Just God--He cannot let evil go unpunished, it's not part of His Nature. Therefore, someone, somewhere, had to be punished for mankind's sins. Mankind has done evil ever since the beginning--and therefore we deserve to be punished. But we, being mortals, cannot endure the punishment and come out unscathed. For us, it's eternity in Hell.

But Jesus was sinless. He came into the world just so He could die: that was His purpose for becoming a Man from the start. He had a part in making the plan, in planning to die on the cross. Hence, He was punished in our stead, and then being God, He was raised to life--something we would not be if we were punished. "For God so loved the world..." reads the Bible.

Finally, you cannot love Jesus and not the Father. Jesus loved the Father, and one of the passages that declares His Sonship is John 14:6-7:

Jesus answered, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you really knew Me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him."

We cannot love the Son but not the Father. Indeed Jesus died so we could reach the Father--if we are grateful for that, we will know that He wanted us to know the Father, wanted it enough that He died for it. God, further, gave up both Himself and His Son in Jesus, and so we know the lengths He is willing to go for us, so why then would we be afraid of Him?

Jesus meant for you to have a relationship with God, and God sent Jesus to die just to prove His love. Here are some passages for you to consider:

Matthew 22:37
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

John 3:35
The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.

John 14:15
[ Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit ] "If you love me, you will obey what I command.

John 14:24
He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

John 16:27
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Peace be with you, God's peace shine on you, may you live your life in peace. I will pray for you constantly. Amen and Blessings.

Answer 9

With all due respect, there is a factor, or two, you seem to be overlooking.
God did not kill his son ...neither did He let it happen for His own glory.
Plus, the 'love' you refer to needs clarification.
Surely you've read John 3:16.
"God so loved the world, He gave his son....."
The love originates with God and is extended to you and me.
That love is not the shmaltzy romantic love from the heart, but a love coming from the mind ....a sense of decency, justice, fairness, kindness.
Since Jesus accepted this responsibility willingly, please don't say it was all God's doing.

Answer 10

ok, i'm with you element of how. Your purpose that your son not get carry of junk nutrition is punctiliously authentic on. all of us consume some distance too plenty crap, and in the adventure that your son can study stable behavior he's probable to consume healthy all his existence. he would be greater healthy than merely approximately absolutely everyone he knows. that's a stable ingredient. enable him "have a sprint" whilst he's sufficiently previous to understand that that's an indulgence and after his stable behavior have already been nicely ordinary. What you are going to ought to do is threaten your kinfolk which you will not deliver your son to pass to them any further until they comply along with your needs. Be company. Be advise. they'll do it your way, yet they'll hate you for it--for a on the same time as. at some point they'll brag approximately how smart you have been and how stable you have been to insist on the nicely suited ingredient regardless of plenty resistance. The plastic toys i think of are somewhat severe. You son is going to be uncovered to plastic issues all his existence--he will not be able to avert entering touch with plastic, and probable he won't go through any sick effects then or now by means of doing so. you at the instant are not struggling with something by means of denying him plastic toys now. yet i think of what you advise is which you do not desire him to have a undeniable style of toy--a toy this is modeled after a television instruct, a cereal or another product, a toy it is meant to be performed with in a undeniable way and so discourages mind's eye. plenty better to furnish your son toys that motivate his mind's eye somewhat of encouraging imitation. If it particularly is what you advise, then i'm with you.
