Also they say, you have to go "through" Jesus to get to God.What does that mean to "go through Jesus."
Please don't just quote the 4 spiritual laws of salvation. I've read it and heard it a million times. Christians with a brain who can talk to someone outside their own choir please answer

So far, all the Christians have come up with "nothing new" I still don't get it.
Who would see sacrificing a son as love?
The way I get it is that God was ready to turn his back on all the earth because it was too corrupt. So He decided to sneak down and take a human form and just go through the experience. As a result he saw that challenging the powerful religious leaders of his day, even though he was healing the sick and working miracles, they killed him. As a result, God saw that it was really tough being on earth, and he had more sympathy for us, so he decided that everybody should stop the sacrificing and violence and practice forgiveness.

To go through Jesus means that you have to accept that he died for you. Thats what it means to go through Jesus to get to God. And God sent his son to die for us. When Jesus died he accepted ALL the sin in the world, and was sent to hell to pay for it. Thats how God gave us his son. Its not like...a gift you give someone on christmas when you pay for it and never see it again, but God loved us SO much he was willing to send his PERFECT son to take on all the sin in the world. Thats how he gave us his son. Its better than a present if you ask me. Because of Jesus we have eternal life.

Being a Christian saved many of us from
Adolf Hitler and the Great Holocaust. That
which is over, is over.
Bear in mind, Jesus Christ was a Jew
who was trying to teach Jews that God
was the Spirit Of Life, and the invisible
force that interfaces with energy to
produce creation. (seek the truth, and
you'll find God )
Bit by bit, today's scientists are uncovering
a rather unique truth: It's beginning to appear
that we humans are a constant, while it's the
time and space that comes and goes.
We live in a rather remarkable universe. We
wake to a day we have never seen before.
We can chase a dream we have never dreamed
before.
As the saying goes, that might be as good as
it gets.

God, being perfect, can not abide with sin. The only way to overcome the problem was for God to create a covenant with man that was perfect and unbreakable. The only way to do that was for God to make a covenant with Himself in the form of man. He therefore became man and went through the horror of the sacrifice to shed His blood as a sacrifice. The shed blood was necessary because blood carries life.
We pray "through" Jesus means we figuratively stand before God as if covered by the blood of Jesus' sacrifice. Jesus provides the avenue for the imperfect to approach the perfect.

God sent His Son to earth in human form. Jesus came to us as a human who could feel as humans feel. He was mocked, spit on, ridiculed, and then hung on a cross with nails in his feet and hands, a spear piercing his side. He was on that cross in agony for hours and hours. It was pure torture, and He felt every bit of it. For us. God allowed His Son to go through torment and pain so that we could see how much He loves us - to sacrifice His Son in this way. I pray that you find the peace that passes understanding.

God, the Creator, did not lose anything. He was hoping to gain some things.
God is communicating to all people that they are dear to Him and very precious. Since people undersatand relationships, death and loss, unfairness, evil, hope, and happiness, He is counting on them understanding His main and eternal message, namely,,,
that God, using the message of Jesus, the cross, the resurrection, the witnesses, holds His relationships with those He created ( all humans) as top priority, and is forgiving (all who will believe) their sins, mistakes, and horrible deeds, not counting anything against them.
Sure, God got His Son back, and hopefully impressed you enough to see and feel in your soul that if it took murderers beating Jesus to death to convince you and the rest of us, that we are sought after and greatly wanted and loved,
then His Son being tortured and murdered was worth it to Him.
He gets Jesus back and He finally gets our attention.
Believe and let Jesus give you the reasons to live as one who follows hard after Him.

"go through Jesus", that's an easy one. He was sinless and died for our sins, we are sinners and are not worthy to come to The perfect God. What would you suggest that God do to save us. He gave us His own son and now the whole world is forgiven. His son is alive and we are all His children.

Based on decades of research, both spiritual and natural, my conclusion is the only thing he could ever "lose" is the respect of his intelligent creation.

God gave his son's life for us but He also had to watch Him being tortured and die. That would be hard for any father to see. Heavenly or earthly.

He may have gotten his Son back, but not without first giving him up to receive the penalty of sin for the world.

be a Jew, Jesus is evil. Jesus destroys the laws. Only the Jews know the laws. Its almost all natural stuff...except for the food.
