Is The Crucifixion Not Synonymous To Human Sacrifice? by Tobilexy: 9:06am On Apr 16, 2017
He died to save the world as presupposed, similarly, Human sacrifice is used as a propitiatory sacrifice to appease the gods and to ritually cleanse the community.


Human beings as an offering to a god and as part of a
ritual. The victims are usually killed in a ritualistic way that is meant to appease the gods or the spirits. The concept of sacrifice is not bereft in Christianity as it is in African religion

It's nothing but human sacrifice . According to the tale God sacrificed himself unto himself.

It's not human sacrifice if it refers to a god being killed.

That is called deicide.

So I am Glad.. Extremely happy.. He did this for me. He cleared my doubt. He broke protocols . He stunned us all
He died. Asin died completely
Not for His Crime. Not for something He did but something I did. He set the standard for Love.
Against all odds
He rose.. He is back and this time .
He comes Triumphant.
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.
I am a witness and I feel different.
I feel Good
Christ is Risen.

before the coming of Christ,the Jews used a lamb on which the they placed all their sins and the lamb was sacrificed, God sent his only beloved son to be the lamb on which the sins of the whole world (not only Jews)were to be laid and killed hence abolishing the need to sacrifice lambs, you can call it human sacrifice but I call it Divine sacrifice,if not for his death, only the Jews will be worshipping Yahweh but now all humans irrespective of your tribe, colour and race are able to participate in the divine worship of the one true God

Yes it was. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

Christians are yet to explain to me why God cannot just forgive without sacrifices (animal, or human)

I reject the idea that Jesus "died" for anybody's sins or any other reason (many bad arguments here) specifically because if you die horribly on the strangely-named "Good" Friday and then come waltzing back out according to the story on Sunday afternoon, you haven't "died". But people don't like it when I rephrase it to "Jesus had the shittiest weekend ever for your sins." I'm not even sure how bad the rest of his weekend was. Was he strolling around in hell? Chilling with his dad/himself/petting zoo/aviary?

Like many others, I don't mean to minimize the suffering of everyone who was crucified, including this guy. While not the most terrible way to die that I can think of, I'm sure it was just awful. But can someone explain how the "forsaking" part works? If Jesus is god, how can he forsake himself? If he's not, wasn't it the plan for God to give his only begotten son to have the shittiest weekend ever for your sins? In that case, this is collusion, not abandonment, right? Or did Jesus not know? How could he not? (And it would make Judas a necessary part of the plan, and maybe the most loyal character in the story, knowing how he would be portrayed later).

Is the substitutional atonement only "activated" if Jesus is unaware of his own plan? How can he keep his own plans from himself? His character seems to have a moment of psychic prediction at the last supper.

I find this whole thing very convoluted and confusing.

It's to show the greatest humility and love the world had and would ever know.
