sacrificed everything for you? I mean everything. He was never loved or cared for as a child, harassed and ignored as a teenager and lonely and depressed as a young adult..
He never had much, if any, money. He was never in a caring, intimate, loving relationship with anyone. He spent his days alone, depressed and in constant emotional pain.
Now imagine, he was also the most caring, loving and interesting person you could ever meet. He was very intelligent, attractive and was very dedicated to achieving his dreams. Also, imagine he was very close to achieving them. He was also very close to finding the love of his life so for once he wouldn't be alone and sad.
Now imagine... God came into his life and told him to sacrifice it all so humanity would finally have some hope.
Finally, imagine that he would have to spend the rest of eternity alone and in depression and in pain... for you... all of you.
How would you feel about him?..especially since he never asked for any of it

I would feel compassion and mercy for him. I would love him, make him feel like he is cared for and not alone. I would stand by him no matter what everyone else said about him.

"How would you feel about him?..especially since he never asked for any of it "
BUT at the same time you believe he's god and therefore DID know what he was getting himself into … in fact he ‘planned it’.
Y'all had better get your story straight - try applying logic.
No, that wouldn't work cos the whole lot would go *poof* and disappear.
AND after all that there are two things.
IF he existed, I didn't ask him to do what he did and wasn't it an unconditional gift anyway?
AND, it's all just a story from Bronze Age mythology replayed and replayed and replayed. The story of godmen are as old as when they were first concocted cos it's a good scam and there's good money to be made from religion IF you can keep a straight face.

That is not what Jesus was about.
Jesus said "you are looking right at me and you do not see me.How do you expect to see the Father?" "If you knew me, you would at the same time know the Father! John 8:19.
Jesus had many followers and he had periods of joy and provision. The women took care of most of his needs. And people give him food for his miracles. When he fed large crowds. He had his father in which he spent long periods with him alone in the gardens praying. He said I only do what my Father tells me too. You bring me to tears with your personal belief about the Christ. Do you know the word of God? I think not! You are so dramatic! Jesus was confident in his execution of every word that came from the mouth of the Father God. jesus had the love of his life the father was it.
You sound like the De Vinci code. Be for real. Are you serious?

That poor man. What did he sacrifice. Sounds like he was bipolar or schizophrenic or at least had 2 personalities.
Don't put the guilt of his eternal pain on me, man. If he was all that you say in the 3rd #, he wouldn't be anything like the first 2 #s here.

Well, I think that he thinks alot about others before himself. In a way, that's a good thing and a bad thing. It's a good thing because that shows alot of respect. It's a bad thing because he never had anything in his life and when he finally does, he has to give it up. and the only thing he has left is the other person (what you said was 'you') I think he is a good, compassionate, and kind person. But he follows alot of orders, so I've heard.

It sounds like you are trying to create controversy, be careful you are trying to mock God's son, he died for you too if you care to accept his sacrifice, but he did not die in vain, for through him all humanity that will get saved from this system of this world will bless themselves, and enjoy life in peace and harmony as they were meant to from the beginning.

Are you alluding to Jesus Christ? I would reject him just as I do now. He was a man walking the Earth with some really good ideas but he was and is not the son of God, because there is no God.

It is purely conceptual, has no real basis or truth in it, thus, I have no feelings towards it, nor am I asking for such a sacrifice.

Is this the same God that flooded the Earth and condoned mass murder and slavery, then let His son be killed?
I'm not real fond of that God.
BTW- if God is omnipotent, why would He have to let His son die so that people could be saved?
