Did God Sacrifice Jesus? by Nobody: 10:36am On Apr 29, 2016
Bismillah
Let us analyse the narrative of God sacrificing his own 'Son' to save us

The narrative is:
God sent jesus to our world and sacrificed him so that we,who put our faith in his ''son'',will have our sins forgiven.
But,what does it man to sacrifice?
It is to give up something you want to keep in order to get or do something else.
So,when someone sacrifices something,it is because they are expecting something in return,a reward of some sort.

For Example
We sacrifice our time at work so that we can make a living and support our families.
Our mothers sacrifice sleep so that we can be comfortable and well fed.
We sacrifice time at school so that we can get good grades,graduate and be successful.
So,it is very clear that sacrifice is something that is done in order to gain.
Does God need to gain anything?
No,he does not!
We know that God is Almighty,He is the owner of the universe,Meaning he owns and has everything at His disposal.
So,to whom did He sacrifice Jesus?
And what would he get in return of his sacrifice when everything in the earth and heavens is His?
Let us get a little deeper in this ''sacrifice'' narrative...
Isn't this 'son',God anyway (according to Trinity)?
If the trinity is true,then this means God is giving away(sacrificing) God.
Contemplating this from outside the box looks like:
God sent himself,then killed himself,essentially committed some form of suicide.
If someone is not happy with the situation around them and is filled with hopelessness and despair,they may take their own life.
But,will that benefit them or others? No,it will not!

Additionally,hopelessness and despair are attributes of weakness and neediness,something an Almighty God is free from.
Also,suicide is considered a sin.
So,God removed our sins with a sin.
Which means Jesus(aka Son,and God) sinned and was no longer ''holy''...
The consequence of this is that Jesus was not infallible and an ''ideal'' candidate for sacrifice.


Let us dive even deeper.

IF wages of sin is death and Jesus took that burden, then[b] why do we still die?
Why do we still sin?
Why do we care if we sin,since we are good to go?[/b]
Further analysing the ''sacrifice'' narrative, we hear that :God took the human form,Jesus ,so that he can die.

An Almighty God is eternal and does not die.
We also hear that Jesus...
Became obedient unto death .

An Almighty God does not need to be obedient to anyone or anything.
Was he obedient to himself?
But,was Jesus really obedient?
If so,then why did jesus pray to ''let this cup pass''?
Matthew 26_29
If so,then why did jesus say 'God why have you forsaken me'?
Matthew 27_47
It does not seem like jesus was very happy or in agreement with the situation.
Was jesus speaking to himself?
If not,then either the person on th cross was not Jesus or Jesus was not God.
Did you know that cruxification is only for those who are cursed according to jewish law?
Deuteronomy 21:22:23
So that means Jesus was cursed,which in turn mean God was in part or entirely cursed.
Remember the definition of sacrifice from earlier?...
To give up something...
Well,technically it does not really count as a sacrifice since God brought his 'Son' back to life.
A real sacrifice is when you cannot get back what you have offered,so what is the meaning of such a sacrifice if God could recover his offering,jesus, his ''son''?
Essentially,the narrative is;
God sacrificed his ''son'' ,for us...,but not really.

Confused yet?

The only thing that makes sense with the concept of sacrifice is that you have to sacrifice your intellect and logic to make it work.
Are you willing to gamble eternity for this convoluted concept?

Muslims are not,and thus offer a coherent alternative explanation according to islam.

God sent his righteous servant,Jesus to remind the children or Israel to keep their covenant with God.
Many disbelieved and plotted to kill him in the worst of ways,on the cross.
This way people will believe that he was a cursed and thus a false prophet and then not follow his way.

However,God will never forsake his messenger,jesus. So,He saved Jesus and raises him to heaven,where he,jesus is alive and waiting to earth per God's orders.


No one or ''form of God'' needs to be forsaken.
No one,or ''form of God'' needs to be crucified.
No one,or ''form of God''needs to b cursed.
No one,or ''form of God''needs to b killed.
If you sin,then just ask the God Almighty to forgive you and since he is the most Forgiving and loves to forgive.
He will forgive you.
It is that simple.

This is Islam.
