A God that was mudered by his daddy in cold blood just to forgive our sins.
I wonder how daddy must have felt when baby God cried to him, Eli Eli Eli lama sabachtnahi (my God my God my God why have thou forsaken him me)
couldnt He simply have forgiven us without all this gory drama?
this is most disguting concept of God ever concieved by man. Even animal dont treat their sons as such.

my question was largely directed at deepSight. I did not expect u to be rational/intelligent enough to come up with something. So wait till deepSight asks ur question.

Hint: How did the israelites react when He said He was the Son of God? what meaning did they deduce from His words?

noetic is such a fraud. The tell tale signs when he wants to lie or pull wool over our eyes is that he makes refernce to a verse without ever quoting it or simply quoting out of context. Let take a look at  john 10, 23-38

23. And jesus walked in the temple in solomon's porch
24. Then the jews surrounded him and said "how do you keep us in doubt? If you are the christ, tell us plainly"
25. Jesus answered them "i told you, and you do not believe. The works that i do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me
26. "But you do not believe because you are not of my sheep, as i said to you.
27. "My sheep hear my voice, and i know them, and they follow me.
28. "And i give them eternal life, any they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand.
29. "My Father who has given them to me is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand
30. "i and my Father are one
31. "Then the jews took up stones again to stone him
32. Jesus answered them "Many good works which i have shown you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
33. The jews answered him saying "For a good work we do not stone you but for blasphemy, and because you being a man make yourself God.
34. Jesus answered is it not written in your law, 'i say, "you are gods"'?
35. If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scriptures cannot be broken)
36. "Do you say of him whom the father has sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming, 'You are blaspheming', 'because i said 'i am the Son of God'?
37. "If i do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38. "But if i do, though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you amy know and believe that the father is in me and i in Him.

Analysis
23-27 the jew are harrasing jesus, asking if he is Christ. He confirms that he is thou they do not believe him
28-30 he confirms that no one can snatch his sheep from his hand or his fathers since He gave them him and he is one with his father (in terms of purpose) 
31 the jews always looking for faults in everything he says took his statment of equating himself with God literaly and thus blasphemy
32 jesus was confused wondering why he deserves the stoning for doing good works that his father sent him. He wasnt thinking they misundertand his statement abt his relationship with God literally.
33 the jew now told him they were angry not for his works but cos he equated himself with God (based on their literal interpretation)
34-36 now jesus undertants their problem. Then he reminds them that God called them (jews) 'god'. He was now asking what is blasphemos if he says he is 'Son of God' when even the common jesus was called 'god'
37-38 he reminds them again that by the works his father gave to him, they are one in purpose

conclusion
the jews as well as noetic misunderstood jesus word as literal (a man that speaks in parables). There are sons of god by the tons in the bible. David is even called his begotten son and another person his first born. Before you start exponding on 'i and the father are one' pls read the verse below.
Jonn 17, 21
"that they (the diciples) may all be one, as You Father are in Me, and I in You. That they may be one in Us, that the world may believe you sent me

Re: Is Jesus God? by Nezan(m): 10:13am On Oct 22, 2009
@ the seeker; You now claim to be a Pastor, analysing Biblical verses. What of these verses from Matthew? analyse them Pastor cheesy cheesy

Matthew 16:15-17 (New International Version)

15"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"

16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
Re: Is Jesus God? by Nezan(m): 10:19am On Oct 22, 2009
@ the seeker; Analyse these verses too, pastor ;

Mark 14:61-62 (New International Version)
61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

62"I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."


and

Luke 5:20-24 (New International Version)

20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."

21The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

22Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, " He said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home."
Re: Is Jesus God? by Nezan(m): 10:22am On Oct 22, 2009
pastor seeker, explain this too:

John 6:46 (New International Version)
46No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
Re: Is Jesus God? by Nezan(m): 10:25am On Oct 22, 2009

He NEVER corrects those who accuse him of making himself equal to God (Mr 2.5ff; Jn 5.17ff; Jn 8.58-59; Jn 10:30-39) nor those who called him "GOD" (Jn 20.28).
He claims loyalty greater than ALL human loyalties (Mt 10.37)
Jesus claims that he should be honored co-extensively with the Father! (Jn 5.17f)

Jesus claimed to be able to forgive sins (Mark 2.5ff; Lk 7.48f)
Jesus had authority over the Sabbath (Mark 2.28; Mt 12.cool

Jesus claims that one's response to Jesus is equated to one's response to God (Jn 15.23).

He claims to be, and is repeatedly called, the potentially blasphemous title "Son of God" (Mr 14.62 et. al. )
He NEVER corrects those who accuse him of making himself equal to God (Mr 2.5ff; Jn 5.17ff; Jn 8.58-59; Jn 10:30-39) nor those who called him "GOD" (Jn 20.28).
He claims to be on a par with the Father and the Holy Spirit (Mt 28.19)
He claims that his coming was the same as God's coming (Lk 19.43ff)

He claims to operate co-extensively with the Father (Jn 5.17ff; Jn 10.30-39; Jn 15.9)



His claims to a UNIQUE relationship to the Father
