So let me get this straight?

Question

Jesus, who is god, decided to have himself killed to save mankind and wash away their sins? Is that right?

Answer 1

that about sums it up ....

Answer 2

Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, not God the Creator.
Jesus called Himself the Son of Man, not the Son of God.
Pontius Pilate and his Roman Henchmen killed Jesus, as it was Jesus' destiny to rise from the dead and so try to save the world.
Jesus asked God the Creator if there were any other way that Jesus could fulfill His destiny; Jesus asked God this in a prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.
So no, that's not right.

Answer 3

Yes, when He created everything it was good and perfect there was no sin whatsoever in the world. However, man screwed that up by bringing sin and death into the world. When God first formed the world he wanted it to be perfect however, he knew that man would bring death and division from himself. So therefore the Lord, Jesus had to come and take the form of a man and die a criminals death - taking all the sins of man on himself. Although it sounds crazy that he would choose to have himself killed he did it with so much LOVE and with you and me in his mind. He did it so we can now have a relationship with God.

Answer 4

Mankind was made to have fellowship with a perfect, just, loving and holy God. This could only happen while man was in his perfect state. But God did not want robots to hang out with so he gave these perfect people that He made a choice. They could live in a beautiful garden and have fellowship with Him or they could choose to go it on their own outside the garden away from God. God knew that man would choose to try it on their own so He made a way to redeem mankind back to himself if they so chose to come back. That's why Jesus died. To make that way. To give that choice to every human being that would ever live.

Sorry kind of wordy but I hope it is a complete answer.

Answer 5

No- God sent his Son Jesus to teach the laws of nature and how to transcend the material existence. No one can kill a pure son of God. He didn't die on the cross. He was in a mystic trance (samadi) and went on preaching in other lands after the cross scene. He never said he died for our sins (man said that) he said "Who ever believes in me will attain salvation." Believing actually means following his instructions, like "Go and sin no more." for the original New testament before King Constantine Changed it google gospelofthenazirenes.com For sincere seekers of truth.

Answer 6

when jesus was born he had a purpose he was the messiah the deliverer he knew that from the beginning.that was the plan as it stood it was the only physical way it could be done.we as human beings get crushed with lifes burdens ,which are day to day things and cannot cope,he was special,he could take the sins of the world and erase them in the name of god. love and light

Answer 7

HI! some part of your statement is correct but you know for a fact that God cannot be killed. Jesus was killed to redeem are sins. base in the bible.

Answer 8

Jesus did not just come here and decide! He knew before hand and God orchestrated the whole thing. John 17.

Answer 9

I can't remember the exact quote, but I read somewhere where someone said something like, "God made a rule, then he wanted to break it, so he sent himself to earth in human form so that he would get killed, so that he could break a rule he made himself." It was a lot more funny in context. :/

I wish I could remember the source more specifically.

But yeah, I got ya. Why couldn't God just say "Hey, I changed my mind?" He's God, he can do whatever he wants, the whole Jesus things doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Answer 10

You forgot that in the garden of Gethsemane Jesus begged himself 4 times to allow himself to not go to Crucifixion. However, he didn't answer himself so he wasn't all that far off the nobbin.

Answer 11

God the Father sent His son to die on a cross to pay the penalty for our sins. All those who believe will be saved. Slightly different way of saying it.
