About God the Dad, God Kid and God the Ghost, 33yrs isn't a big sacrifice if you are eternal is it?

Question

God the Kid supposedly came to earth for a mere 33yrs, compared to the endless billions and billions of years in eternity it's nothing at all...even then he supposedly didn't die so where's the sacrifice, many good people died equally or much worse agonising deaths than Jesus.

Plenty of people died selflessly for others and for what they thought were worthwhile causes besides Jesus.

Answer 1

And he knew he was eternal, something every human, no matter how religious or faithful, doubts. That's what makes death scary - fear of the unknown.

face it, Jesus had a bad weekend for our sins.

Answer 2

You say plenty of people died for what they believed in. Look at the followers of lunatics like Jim Jones. However, no one has come back. No one has reported seeing them after they died, let alone hundreds upon hundreds over the coarse of forty days. These things were reported during a time when people could question the report, but nobody did because there were too many witnesses.
How else do you explain a religion that required so many "acts" and cherished traditions have a large group suddenly abandon their beliefs because a carpenter died a discraceful death. Some of the more noted ones gave up positions of power and/or prestige to live a life of torture and meekness.

Answer 3

God dosn't live in time to answer your first question. He is eternal, but not in years. He put himself into a human body. He was in all regaurds human. He constrained himself with time, which he himself created. He felt pain just like anyone else, and also had the same emotions as everyone else. You say "many good people died equally or much worse agonising deaths than Jesus" but that's not true. Maybe many other people suffered deaths even worse than his, but they were not good people. Being good means being morally excillent. Only god was good. He suffered for us. And he was perfect. Man brought death into this world by choosing to sin, and because of our sin, he had to die. I used to stuggle with the same thing. He's god! He could take it! But the more i learned about what he went through, the more i relized how unfair it really was. He was perfect, and was condemed to a HORRIBLe death. They mocked him. they whiped him so much, had they whipped him one more time he would of been legaly dead. They placed a crown of thorns on his head. Pushed it real deep in his skull. They spat on him and took his clothes. Than hung him on a cross. Put nails through his hands and feet, than brok both of his legs. In the end, to make sure he was dead, they drove a spear through his side, and guess what? Water came out. Becuse he was perfect, and becuase of each and every lie, youve told. Every time you disobayed your parents, evertime you cheated someone, anything. He did it for YOU!Because of you and me, and everyone else, he had to die, AND HE HAD BEEN PERFECT! wow.

Answer 4

He died. And He conquered the death. It means a lot how we spend this life here. This life is very short compared to eternity.

It was a sacrifice indeed. He could have lived here longer, but that is not what He came here to do. You do not have to respect and accept His sacrifice if you think that the other alternative is more appealing to you.

Answer 5

These are just some of the things why Christians say you shouldn't question, you should only believe. But how can rational, thinking human being just accept something which on the surface doesn't make sense. Me? I'm hedging my bet though. What do I have to lose?

Answer 6

sacrifice for others is the business of brainwashed pathetics... They cannot even be called tragic..... I can educate anybody on this topic... Muhahahahahahahahah ha huh...

Answer 7

I think you need to study a bit more.
