why didn't God send Jesus to sacrifice himself for the sins of everyone instead, so that all may have the chance to be forgiven of their sins? Why the needless death and destruction? Didn't he did know that the world was going to be full of sin again, didn't he?

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it right. There was no Noah--the story of Noah is knock off plagarism of the babylonian "Epic of Gilgamesh". The conversation should be about why the gods didn't send Horace to die for mens sins--instead of having Gilgamesh build an ark and fill it with animals. Please get the chronology of things straight.

The world full of sin again and again and again , because spirituality and religion are so hard to continue to believe in.
Except God sends a message through a messenger or prophet a human being like you or myself to instruct the masses of people to repent atone and believe or suffer the consequences. The chances we mankind have been given to continue living life on life terms is phenomenal, yet we continue to sin again and again and turn to disbelief and blaspheme. Well we believe that now we are living in the days of the Last Judgment.

Do you really want to know? I do not know your heart, but you are asking, so I will tell you.
Like one of the people said: Noah was preaching to the people & they didn't believe what Noah said, nor did they want to believe it, so they went their own way.
Ya see, we have a choice & God has given it to us & we live & die by our choices.
Death:
1. The 1st death, is in the grave.
2. The Second death is in Eternal Damnation, where their life burns eternally: If you aren't saved.
For the Christian: which means Follower of Christ (not of man, nor mans religion).
1. Born Again, Unto Life Eternal: this is why we are hated, & our Jesus is hated, because we have Jesus In Us: We are hated, because of who we have in us & the world hates the light, just as the people hated Noah & what he stood for.
2. Death In The grave (everyone dies eventually @ any moment).
3. Life Eternally In Heaven, with no more pain & everything Godly to gain!! This is the called the Blessed Hope, God's promise to His believers of Eternity in Heaven.
What is UR choice?
God has given us all a choice, will we make our choice unto life eternal in heaven & have no more pain to gain & everything godly to gain.
Or unto a burning hell where our souls feel the heat & can't quenche our thirst: then it will be too late.

we believe that prophet Noah asked his God to destroy them, coz he was told that none of them would believe:
"And Nuh (Noah) said: "My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth! " (71: 26)
we also don't think that someone can pay for another's sins! u should bear what u committed:
"That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of another" (53: 38)
i think it is more clear & logic in islamic point of view.
peace

1- It wasn't the time for it, not in His plan
2- the death and destruction was for a rotton culture (God gave man the choice to choose the course of their lives- they chose poorly!) God also teaches us like an all-powerful father would.
3-Yes, He knew and without that we wouldn't have learned about God's great power.
There is also a story in the old bible version that the reason wiped out humanity was because many fallen angels at that time procreated with human women creating these evil giant-like beings and therefore God as a punishment to these demons wiped them out.

it was all in his purpose. you see, God has a reason for everything. maybe if he did that it wouldnt be successful. its certain steps you must take in order to set plan for such a marvelous and major thing such as Jesus' sacrifice. he needed to destroy the earth so he could start anew. you see, it wasnt like he just did it. Noah preached to the people for many years telling them about God and warning them of that day. but because of their selfishness they did not want to believe Noah. and with the choices you make, come consequences

If Jesus had come too early, there would have been not enough prophesies yet. If there weren't enough prophesies, who would have believed that this was Christ? Nobody would have even known to watch for him. The old testament is full of prophesies telling of his coming in the flesh and of the crucufixion. Just like the new testament tells us so much about his return and why he will return. Our world will be much like the days of Noah when Christ comes back.

HE did send Jesus to sacrifice later but if he sent him then the people weren't ready to repent or take in christ. Before god could send his only begotten son he had to make sure that atleast some of the world would be ready to accept him.

This is the first proof that a human sacrifice which grants vicarious atonement for all sins past, present and future is simply a barrel a bull cookies.

Because prophet Jesus was not created yet.
Jesus is just a man was born miraculously without a father the more it is for Adam no mother no father ..
Jesus is just a great prophet.
