For every worng, there needs to be attonement............If you break the law, you will pay somehow, somewhere.
God was willing to pay the price for us. His Son, Jesus was willing to come and die in our place........
And you mock this sacrifice?

I am no Christian but I think your question is downright stupid. All religions have their beliefs and one can't question them. Take the hindus for instance they have a caste system which is unacceptable to everyone except to the people belonging to that group which is obviously for selfish reasons. Hindus ring a bell when they enter a temple. Why do they need to do that. Is it because their gods are deaf ? The beliefs of the muslims make them kill others for no rhyme or reason. A guy just has to say something about their prophet or criticize their beliefs and a riot would break out all over the muslim world and they would demand that that person be executed. So all religious beliefs are crazy,not just the christian belief that jesus died to redeem people of their sins.
The hindus have so many gods and in order to get their gods to do their bidding they have to engage a priest to chant pages of gibberish. The idea that Jesus died to save the world may not be true but it is a good one and makes more sense than the beliefs of many other religons.

Yes he created all this, he also laid out all the rules for what is and what is not sin.
He gave us the free will to sin or not to sin.
If he just forgave everyone then that would be taking away this free will and imposing his will on all creation, the creation left after this would have no value.
God wants us to accept him freely, any other way would be worthless.
What I see of all other religions is that you are regarded as "not good enough" and so need to "earn" acceptance, yet you are one of his creations, and so have surely been created exactly as God intended?.
With non Christian religions you never know if you have done enough until it is too late to do anything else, this seems to me to be a system that would only be set up by a very cruel god, and so I cannot relate this to the world around me.

It is a truism that what a person receives too easily he values too lightly.
Disobedience to God is a VERY serious problem. Not for Him, but for thse who disobey. That which is God's way for you is the best way for you. Deviate from it and you inevitably get into trouble.
Yet deviate from it is just what people do. Then they weep and wail and gripe and complain about their troubles.
By doing it the way He did, God does the following:
A) Shows how great is His love for each of us. He does not scruple to sacrifice His Son for our sakes.
B) Shows how serious He is about our doing what's best for us by showing us how serious the consequences of disobedience are for us.
C) Allows us to make a free choice on how to respond to A) and B).
BTW, since He is eternal ALL His actions are equally so. That means that we were forgiven from forever to forever. It is merely up to us whether or not we choose to accept that forgiveness and get on with the business of becoming the best us we can be.
Hope this helped.

God's forgiveness is neither cheap nor easy; it requires our active participation - the only way it would ever be meaningful to either one of us.
First - He forgives us only to the extent we are willing to forgive others.
And second - He forgives as we are just to confess and repent of our sins; not as a license to sin - but rather a continual commitment to improve and do better and live a more faithful, obedient life.
And third - He forgives us if we will accept His free gift of salvation - all He asks is that we believe it as truth.
It is really just that simple - and that complicated.

Your question is very hard to understand. Don't know if this will help. You may not be able to understand it since it is written in English. But the one and only God did indeed create all things and all things He created is good. He loves all his people and wanted to give them an opportunity to live eternally, so he sent his Son to be born of human woman on earth to be tempted in all things just as man is, and to teach man how to live the right life. Without Jesus in our heart, we would die someday (sooner or later...maybe today) and we would die with the sins we have committed during our life. Our sin separates us from God and we can not live eternally with God if we have sin. God is perfect and without sin. He cannot have sin around him. Sin is Satan.
So Jesus was sent to die for us, taking our sin, (the whole world's sin) with him. He put sin to death with him on that cross, so that if we accept him, are baptized into union with his death, our sins will be forgiven forever as we have faith and begin to live with Jesus in our heart, we will live eternally. God is wonderful to give us this opportunity to have our sins forgiven.
Jesus, of course, was risen from death to live again with God. And the promise is also given to us who believe. We will rise when this body of ours dies, and live with God forever.
Get a bible. It will answer all your questions!
God bless you.

Leviticus 17:11 says, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."
Hebrews 9:22 says, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
Jesus generously came to give His life the perfect sacrifice for our sins, for the remission of our sins.

Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. That why there were burnt offerings, so as to temporarily take care of the sin for a certain time. Jesus christ was the permanent offering for sin. And why do you believe its hard for God to come in human form and live among his creation? is your view of God that limited?

Friend, God never did die, It was his Son Jesus Christ that died, God is & will be always a spirit, Not Flesh, But God did dwell in his Son without measure, So people has to understand that God never did died, It was his Son. & it was God who rasied up his Son again, Can you imagine how bad it would have been if God himself died, Satan would never allow God to come back alive, But God was very much alive & well when His son hung there on the Cross.

Tell your question fully in true sense properly. It may be a good question. But requires some more information in specific . Like what do you mean by death , die and all other ? Be specific in full sense. I do Believe in all religions.
