Why did God have to murder his son(also God) in order to keep God from sending us to a hell that God invented?

Answer 1

When I started reading the Bible, I went aghast when I saw that the mean MF who took to murdering and smiting whole towns was not Satan, but actually...God.

Later on I tried to find some justification for his actions....none, not a single one did I find.

When I finally stumbled upon Satan, I noticed that he was a far more benevolent person than God...

All the more reason for dumping such a crappy creed.

Answer 2

Hmm... God didn't murder his son. The romans and religious leaders of his day did. God allowed it, and he did so out of love for us. Besides, keep in mind even that death was not permanent and Jesus now sits at the right hand of his father as the second most powerful person in the universe.

Second, you're assuming there's a hell of God's invention. Scripturally speaking, there is none.

I hope that helps you.

Answer 3

1) God did not murder Jesus. Jesus willingly made the sacrifice for all mankind.

2) God is merciful and just. Obviously, these are concepts that cannot always be compatible. Therefore, an intercessor was necessary, someone who was willing to satisfy the consequences of our sins, in order to satisfy justice while at the same time facilitating mercy.

You seem to have some substantial misconceptions about Christianity. I would suggest more reading and less braying.

Answer 4

God has not murdered his Son, but Christ's Sacrifice gave birth to millions of Sons. Everyone has to die one day, but Christ's death is Live forever.

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

Answer 5

Hmmm.
Romans/Jews (people) killed Jesus the man.
Hell was invented as the place for the prideful angels (led by Lou C. Fer) after their failed rebellion. Hell exists as a place where G-d does not abide; punishment for our own sins of pride, etc. if we don't heed his word to love others.
Why do people continue to think life has no consequence other than which HDTV to buy to play Halo 3 upon?
60" is best, but it will leave you hungry in Chief's helmet.

Answer 6

Seemed a good idea at the time it was being devised, I guess. Anyhow that's what some people thought. See, this type of theological apologetic is a "rationale" for a bunch of BS that amounts to mind control. The whole concept of being "fallen" knee-jerk makes people feel guilty, scares them into the pews, and helps make big $$$$ for the churches!

Answer 7

First of all, God didn't murder anyone - we did, you and I and the rest of mankind. Jesus came willingly, proving God and his word. But most of all, no one can say he is good enough to stand before God saying "look what I did for you". We did nothing to merit entrance into heaven. All we do is accept his gift of grace. If God had done it any other way, we could say we were good enough to enter heaven because we earned it.

Not so.

Answer 8

God created Hell for the Devil and his angel (what we call demons), so he didn't create for us to go there. He doesn't want us to go there, but when we reject him by not accepting His gift of Salvation, that is where we go. Jesus was sent as a sacrifice, to pay for our sins (kinda like how they use to sacrifice animals, in the old days). He is perfect (he never sinned) so he was the perfect sacrifice, or payment, for our sins because He himself has never sinned. And God didn't murder His son, We did! God sent His son as a sacrifice and Jesus willingly gave His life for a payment for us to get into Heaven because w/o Salvation we cannot get into Heaven.

Answer 9

I agree, it doesnt make sense to me at all.... why didnt he just forgive the sin rather than bring down his son, and sacrafice him. If the proof that jesus is god son is because he didnt have a father that god created him then adam didnt have a father or mother, what does that make him?

Answer 10

Try to imagine it this way...

even before God spoke anything into existance...He knew there would be sin...and sin would cause Him to be seperate from His creation (for scientific minds...sin and Holiness is like anti-matter and matter - just can't co-exist)...

So...there's the Trinity...in existance before creation....and there's Jesus ...saying "no problem ...see that sin...I know You have to pour Your wrath out on it...so I've got that covered.

Even before you, me, or the next person, ever came into existance...God knew what needed to be done...and did His part.

God didn't "murder" His son...He imputed our sin on Jesus...and then poured out His wrath on sin.

Imputed - think of it as the opposite of amputated...instead of taking something off of the person...it is added on to the person.

Whoah...gets pretty profound doesn't it? That He would love us enough, that rather than compromise His Holiness, He would still find a way to reconcile us to Him, even at the cost of His own life.
