Christians: to most of us the shedding of innocent blood is a crime, but to your god it is "perfect sacrifice"

Question

(o.O)

How do you figure the murder of an innocent should be considered the "perfect sacrifice" for your god?

Isn't that the belief of volcano worshippers who throw virgins into the lava pits to appease the gods?

In fact, isn't the sacrifice of virgins the ultimate shedding of innocent blood?

And Jesus was a virgin, according to your beliefs?

Your god needed us to murder an innocent virgin so that he could have an excuse to forgive us?

(o.O)

Please explain why your god requires an innocent to be murdered before he's willing to forgive those who murdered the innocent?

Answer 1

After reading your question I realized that no matter what I say you will have something to counteract it but here goes. Adam and Eve sinned and the wages of sin is death. The only way to be able to live forever is to have a perfect sacrifece. No in biblical times BEFORE Jesus came down we had to sacrifice perfect ANIMALS to represent what Jesus would eventually do. AFTER Jesus came and sacrificed himself for our souls we no longer sacrifice anyone. If you know people who sacrifice NOW they are not christians because Christians DO NOT sacrifice ANYMORE because the ultimate sacrifice has taken place and now when Jesus returns again we can live forever

Answer 2

It is the doctrine of the Scriptures.

I don't know much about volcano worshipers, but if you say so.

No, the sacrificing of a sinless person is the ultimate sacrifice

Yes.

God needed to sacrifice His only son so that there could be forgiveness of sins. It is a teaching of the Bible, if you do not believe it then why do you ask these questions. It is not to point out hypocrisy as is your normal questioning fashion. And I think that you will find that the only answers that you will get won't appease what you want to hear.

To explain, all I can say is that is what the Scripture taught since the Law, and Christ came to fulfill the law. It is what the Scripture prophesied, and Christ came to fulfill the prophesies.

In Jesus Name

Answer 3

Hello,

I fully understand where you are coming from, because before I fully became a believer I also shared these same questions; however I came to find through studying the bible, that Jesus was with God in the beginning. If you read in Geneis the first chapter, it even says "he was with him in the beginning' scholars found this is jesus and it was part of God's plan from the start to send his son to die. Of course you can see he hesitated- because first he sent the Flood to destroy the evil peoples of the world. At that time before the Flood, people were raping the women and satans angels(as told in the bible) fell to earth to pregnate some of the women and they gave birth to evil giants who destroyed others. THEY WERE THE MURDERERS!
Compare your idea to our military, ever since the beginning we have had wars and have had to send souls to die to protect our freedom as a country. If we hadn't sent our soldiers into WWar 2 who knows Hitler could have conquered all of europe..like Islam wants to do now in the name of Hate. God is not a murderer but a defender of freedoms and love. Satan is the author of deceit who brings people to go against God..but your true enemy the real murderer is lucifer who rebelled against God in the beginning...dont let him deceive you.

God planned on sending his son to the world to be the perfect sacrafice..and sacrafice of Lambs was normal back in those days. The Jews brought certain animals to the temple as a sacrafice..These Lambs represented the coming Messiah who would eliminate the need for sacrafice.
This is how it worked. We don't know each and every thought behind what God does or why but we know Jesus said to " love one another" and that is what he teached! Gods message is not about hatred and murder.

My only advice I can give you sir is, study the bible more there is a great book by Josh Mcdowell called "Evidence for Christianity" ya it is long and college like but it will help open your eyes from a former aethists point of view.
Also beloved human brother- remember, we are not God and cannot know his heart except that we try to get closer to him and read the word which is his word and than maybe he will open your heart to understand what it is you want to know more.
I pray sir that your heart and mind would be opened to the message he has for you.
Check out Mark Hitchcocks website on bible prophecy ..if you want real facts and evidence that matches up to the bible..you'll find it in prophecy happening all around us now..the time is coming soon..and where will you be..?
God Bless You

Answer 4

Who murdered this innocent, and under what circumstances?

Those who thought they were religious and following what they thought was the word of God and God's will.

And even after all they knew, they still went ahead and shed innocent blood.

So what does this say about the one's that did this, and mankind in general?

That no matter how much knowledge one has, without God at the center of their lives, they will still screw up big time.

It was also necessary to demonstrate to mankind God's love for them in allowing this most horrific crime to be committed against himself.

Some have eyes to see, and some do not. Your statement shows that you do not.

Answer 5

Because it was also his choice to say on the cross. He died knowing that by his sacrifice the war would be one. Of course 3 days later He arose from the grave. Jesus was fully God and fully man. Read Matthew... It explains everything there.

Answer 6

Jesus fulfilled the Bible prophecy.

He is willing to forgive. You just need to ask forgiveness. How hard is that compared to deeds and animal sacrifices...

Answer 7

I like how you are trying to put the pagan swing on it...

God raised HIm from the dead - and further more Jesus (the one who died) is God.

Have you read in 2 Cor the account of Jesus going to Hell and taking the keys of death and hell - That is why Jesus had to die - remembering He is God.

Answer 8

You have no idea what you're talking about. Why don't you do a little research on the beliefs of Christianity before posing stupid questions.
