Was The Sacrifice Of Jesus On The Cross That Big A Deal? by bolaino(m): 2:33pm On Apr 22, 2013
It's a question that should be answered with utmost sincerity, with all honesty and with no religious bias (but I doubt my christian folks will be able to do that).

But let's examine the death of jesus, christians from time immemorial have given us the illusion that it was the greatest and noblest thing any man or God could have done for his people, by paying the ultimate price, ( giving up his life),

But I chose to disagree, in the case of jesus, he is said to be God, and he created all things, having this knowledge how would coming to earth and dying and going back to splendor a big deal? I know of people who have gone through a lot worse for no reward at all, not to talk about jesus, who is supposed to be the beginning and the end, this should have been like a walk in the park for him.

But it was'nt, even knowing fully well that he was going to rise up again and be praised in heaven and on earth for all eternity, he was still scared, begging himself in heaven not to allow the whole thing happen.

Personally I would go through all jesus went through just to be given one billion dollars, I know of people who would go through same tin or even worse for less, did jesus suffer more than the slaves in america? Or did he suffer more than the people who were tortured and beaten to death, in places like cambodia, uganda, rwanda etc, the answer is No, so christians should stop saying how difficult it was for jesus to lay his life down for sinners.

The real sacrifice was not in his death... But the shame.. a god becoming a man and subjecting himself to the torments that exist in this evil world..

At least, that's what the apologetics would have us believe....

one thing I know is that christians can never be able to give a reasonable explanation for the alleged death of their savior, cos like they claim jesus was the sacrificial lamb who paid a price to redeem mankind,

but that brings a whole new perspective to the whole story, who was the price paid to? Was it the devil? Or he paid the price to himself? If the price was paid to the devil that goes to show that the devil is more powerful than God/jesus, if the price was paid to God/jesus then that also goes to show us how blood thirsty he is, either way this story is all bull.shyte,

look friend. Jesus was not a man, He was 'God Himself' who came in form of a man(John 1:1), He carried the life spirit of God because He was born of that spirit and not a man's spermatozua; that is why He was called Emmanuel meaning God (himself) with us (in form of man). He wasnt born of any man (remember it was the prencense of God who over shadowed a holy virgin to bear Him), so he was not a normal being neither was he a sinner genetically because he wasnt born by a man's sperm remember, man is a sinner by nature of Adam. Jesus was not a product of Adam!! HE WAS HOLY IN NATURE AND IN DEED. HE NEVER SINNED AND WAS'NT BORN A SINNER LIKE ALL MEN!! The reason why the sacrifice is esteemed is because of.

1)God's love for man for Jesus to die in the place of sinfull sinners when He himself never sinned. (2Corinth 5:21)

2)He himself was the creator of men. Bible says "...and without Him was not anything made that was made"-JOHN 1:3. He was the one who could die to bear the sins of all men because he made them and remember He could have chosen not to die and kill all men, creating a new set of Men. He chose not "for God SO LOVED the world" this world.


3) A man who hated sin was made to carry it in bulk upon himself, that was why He was praying to God. He wasnt afraid of the death but never wanted to be a sinner for once because He had to carry the sins of the whole world (alive, dead and unborn) upon himself even though He never sinned!

How could God die?

Nice question, God is not a man like you and me, God is awesome, a three in one being;

1)Father: God Himself sitting on the throne

2) Son: Jesus, the word that sent into becoming a flesh, 'John 1:14, that same Word was God himself, that word had God's spirit, holy spirit and life


3)The Hoy Spirit: God could sit on His throne and be at the same time at diffrent parts of the world doing wonders, speaking to His Sons. He is omnipresence, that presence apart from His throne is what is called the Holy Spirit, that Holy Spirit lived in Jesus, that was why He could act like God.



So why call himself Son of David? Evidently, the seed of David wasn't in him.



Just like He was called Son of Joseph too. The fact that He was called the Son of David does not mean He is a seed of David. He only appeared in the family that sprang forth from David's lions. That title was just mere formality, He (Jesus Himself) said "I AM FROM ABOVE:....; I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD (John 8:23) His life was nt from spermatozua but from God above.



So God sent himself to save his creations to pay a debt his creations owed him. I'm not surprised I have to believe this by faith. Faith makes the irrational rational.



Look, not like the creations owe Him. God is not a lier, He doesnt change His word. He already said in the old testament "the soul that sins shall die"-EZEKIEL 18:4. When He says a world, it must follo suit, that was why He had to send Jesus (God in human body) to die in that place. It was legally accepted He took their place since He made them. He became the sin for them. 2COR 5:21. Note: Jesus is God in human body



Again, God sacrificed himself to himself?




Sacrificed Himself for Himself? I did'nt say that. He just had to take their place. He had established the law "the soul that sinneth shal die", He loved them, He had to send His Jesus to die in their place. Note: It was legally acceptable to take thier place by that same law. He was the only one who could because through Him they were made (JOHN 1:3)

Sounds like all the problem of the world today is because Nazareth didn't have an asylum..




It depends on what you mean by asylum.

Whether you believe or not, it doest change the truth still. You'll only be very unsmart not to believe the truth. Its at your detriment since am not asking you to pay me offering or come to my church. THE TRUTH REMAINS "HE DIED FOR YOU ALREADY, REJECT HIM AND BE DAMNED! ACCEPT HIM AND BE SAVED John 3:18, YOU WILL THEN KNOW, HIM (He will show Himself to you, there wouldnt be need to ask these.).-

there was never any sacrifice, jesus 'according to the story' was killed by roman authorities.
the rest of the story is d same with the ancient lion and tortoise stories, when tortoise was the wisest and lion the strongest, and one day the tortoise called all the animals to gather at the palace bla bla bla bla etc.

Jesus did not die for us, he was arrested and charged to court for high Treason and heresy, which according to the laws of the land was punishable by death under Section ### of the Roman Laws of the time.

Jesus decided not to go with the public defender but to represent himself in court. The first court dismissed the case against him for lack of proper evidence; the second court which was a higher court sentenced him to death.
Before his crucifixion, he had was about to be granted amnesty nut the people didn’t want him, so they granted amnesty to Barnabas and sent Jesus to the gallows.

Jesus died because He was a wanted man, who had evaded arrest for so long until he was caught slipping after one of his home boys went and snitched to the cops in exchange for money and immunity from prosecution. ..
