I know about repenting and all that, but why did God kill the only perfect person he ever created when he knew everyone past, present and future would continue just the same (even more nowadays).

Also what was going to happen had he not crucified Jesus?

This is very confusing..

oh by the way, if you're going to cut and paste from an online bible PLEASE make sure it answers my question

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved." - I understand this but if it were true , the world would be saved, and it's not... the world is more or less the same as it was in biblical times.. Why did Jesus have to die? he could've just told everyone to repent and shown himself for once to show he's not playing around.

Confusing? Then let the Bible enlighten you to the truth of the matter. The hidden fact confused and "overlooked" by Christians throughout the ages.

Don't get me wrong. I only hope you will realise how Churches and Synagogues play they part in hiding the truth from the very beginning.

You may understand John 3:16 but there is a phrase that is the neccessary ingredient, "that whosoever BELIEVES." Then you need to continue to verse 17.

Jesus accomplish the need for a payment of judgement for sin. He was THE payment for all mankind. It was a Spiritual/Man (Adam) that lost our position with God. It had to be a Spiritual/Man (Jesus) that regained it. It was a "rule" that just went into play. God HAS to go by the rules or else he would not be a Just God. It is like a judge passing the sentence on a case and then stepping down from around the bench, taking off his robe and then saying to the bailiff, I take this persons place and accept the sentence they are to receive. Then does it. If you really take the time to read the entire Bible, you will see that God made a way from the very begining that Adam lost all. He made a covenant with Adam, then with Eve. He made a follow up with Noah, then continued with Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He continued when he told Moses the type of Prophet that would come. He kept it up and going with David. Then even the other Prophets gave us tidbits of info and declared to us God's plan and Words. We never want to listen though.

To really repent, one has to know why we have a need to repent and from what. If Jesus never did die, he would not have been able to grant us all a way to be a part of God and His plan for His creation. He bridged a gap that was way to big for us to even try to cross. There is no way. The temptation revealed what Jesus had in mind too. He did not succomb to the devils tricks because He would have lost it all for ALL eternity to the devil and thats why he did not Show himself to everyone. Besides, many still would not have even believed that. The religious rulers still wanted their own way and the Romans still wanted to invade....everyone! So it is a pretty sad story, but because of Jesus there is a great ending. We Win! AND We get to be with God for all eternity, IF we believe and obey.

God Bless

God is merciful and just. Meaning, he forgives us our sins but we have to be punished for our sins. If a child does something wrong, of course his parents forgive, but he is still sent to his room. What would the child learn if he wasn't punished by the ones that love him the most?

God loves us, but that doesn't mean we don't need to be punished for our sins. Sooo, the wages of sin is death. That is, eternal death. One little sin will send you to hell. Why? Because ANY sin separates us from God.

God loves us and didn't want us to perish. Therefore, He is merciful and sent His only Son to die as an atonement of our sins. He was the perfect sacrifice. If we repent and believe, we are forgiven and will not suffer eternal damnation. This doesn't mean we stop sinning, it means we live more for God, but when we screw up we can take it to Him and be done with the guilt and shame of it all.

Although the perfect human couple, Adam and Eve, rejected God and decided to take Satan's offer, Jesus proved that a perfect human being can be faithful to God even in the most critical conditions. Jesus purchased for a ransom sacrifice; therefore, we are indebted to him. Since the wages of sin is death, there are those that would never taste death (survivors of Armageddon) Jesus' blood will cover for their sins.

A assassin has no love of human existence so no longer something could remember there earlier or after Jesus' loss of life. No, a assassin could in no way have a advantages in Heaven. considering the fact that Jesus replaced into the 1st to be resurrected to Heaven then prayer isn't the significant to getting into Heaven. this is stumbled on at a million Corinthians 15:20. Jesus' loss of life paved the way for all (no longer in basic terms Jews) to become Christ like or Christian. Rev. 5:9&10 , Jesus paid to become King and rule over mankind with a remnant that his loss of life offered from the earth. no longer all of God's human beings would be in Heaven. maximum will stay in a paradise in the international. Revelation twentieth financial disaster. No, Peter informed Jesus to maintain himself and Jesus informed Peter "Get at the back of me devil".

God, Son & Holy Spirit are three in One in mystery. He did not kill His Son and He is in Christ and Christ in Him with the Holy Spirit which are not seperable. It was people who killed Him. Through Jesus's suffering, God is trying to show us His intense love for us that He allowed Jesus to go through suffering. Well, Jesus could have rejected the suffering since He had free will like us and yet He wanted to show His love for people and brought Himself down to our level or even lower than that (by having Himself crucified with criminals who were very low in social class)

Do you think that it is convincing by just proclaiming through the mouth that people should repent.? Action speaks louder than words. Well, He has shown us how man's cruelty and fallen nature could cause endless misery to others. He showed that He understands what we are going through here as He suffered here on earth as a man. So, this is how He loves the world so much that He incarnates the Word, to be witness and expression of God's love for us so that we will go back to him with repentance and be transformed slowly by His love. Love work wonders in life.

This is not a true event at all - that is why it is so confusing, it never happened.
This is a myth 'created' by Christianity - this part of the legend is not true at all. He never died for our sins.. Full Stop.

Watch the British documentary - "Did Jesus Die?"
This documentary sums up the Talmud Jmmanuel material, without mentioning the Talmud Jmmanuel text.
www.tjresearch.info/overview.htm
www.tombofjesus.com

If you think about it - the resurrection is not possible at all
What could have happened, is that he was taken to be near death, to be taken for being dead - he was taken away in this state, and then resucitated (because this was foretold it would happen). Special persons were brought in, who knew how to do it.
He slowly recovered and then escaped to India, settling in Kashmir. See Ed T Martin's book "King of Travelers - Jesus Lost Years in India".
Note - there are videotaped lectures by James Deardorff, Ed T Martin and Dietmar Rothe covering the Talmud Jmmanuel.

The wages of sin is death according to the law, so there is no way that any natural man could be used by God to take sins away because we are born sinners. God can't die so He couldn't do it Himself, so He made Himself a body that could die to pay for our sins, that being Jesus. You have to believe by faith that Jesus took sin upon Himself & nailed it to the cross & when He died so did sin. After3 days He resuracted & now He can't die anymore. When we accept this we die to ourselves & recieve the new life in Jesus.

If there had been no fall of Adam by which came death, there could have been no Atonement by which comes life.

It was the Ultimate act of love and grace that only a God could perform. Through it was brought to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

"I am the way, the Truth, and the Life..."

"For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

"Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed in Him, 'As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples; Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free'"

Man is born in sin, naturally depraved. Because of this, there is a gulf or chasm between God and men. Man cannot, in is own power, cross that gulf to God. God provided a way that man could be declared righteous and justified in His eyes.
God is holy foremost, that is His main attribute. In His holiness, He cannot allow sin into Heaven. He is also righteous. In His righteousness, a price must be paid for sin.
The wages of sin is death (Rom. 3:23)

The Israelites would sacrifice spotless animals for the covering of the sins of the Israelite people, but these sacrifices could not bring complete forgiveness. God provided a way for those He has chosen out for salvation, to be forgiven completely, redeemed and justified. That would be the sacrifice of the perfect lamb of God, the only sinless human who ever lived, Christ. Christ took our sins upon Himself, suffering the wrath of God due us. God's righteousness accepted this sacrifice and declared all who are under the blood of Christ, whose sins He died for, forgiven, redeemed and justified.
Jesus' death did not forgive all the sins of all the people, just those who are His, those whose names are written in the lambs book of life.

Mat 1:21 And she will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.
