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

aalangel:


That means you don't understand your question.

TeamSimple:

All I wanna know is if there is anyone else responsible for forgiving of sins except God?

And were sins not ordinarily forgiven before the whole crucification saga came up?

Mary was the wife, she was impregnated without her consent.

Onechancearmy:
There are several reasons why the sacrifice of Christ on the cross does not violate the prohibition against human sacrifice. First, Jesus wasn’t merely human. If He were, then His sacrifice would have also been a temporary one because one human life couldn’t possibly cover the sins of the multitudes who ever existed. Neither could one finite human life atone for sin against an infinite God. The only viable sacrifice must be an infinite one, which means only God Himself could atone for the sins of mankind. Only God Himself, an infinite Being, could pay the penalty owed to Himself. This is why God had to become a Man and dwell among men (John 1:14). No other sacrifice would suffice.

Second, God didn’t sacrifice Jesus. Rather, Jesus, as God incarnate, sacrificed Himself. No one forced Him. He laid down His life willingly, as He made clear speaking about His life: “No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again” (John 10:18). God the Son sacrificed Himself to God the Father and thereby fulfilled all the requirements of the Law. Unlike the temporary sacrifices, Jesus’ once-for-all-time sacrifice was followed by His resurrection. He laid down His life and took it up again, thereby providing eternal life for all who would ever believe in Him and accept His sacrifice for their sins. He did this out of love for the Father and for all those the Father has given Him (John 6:37–40).

According to Matthew 6:12 KJV
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.


God of all might has the absolute power to forgive any kind of sin in whatever form and manner. But as man, we owe each other the responsibility forgiveness.


Mark 11:25-26 KJV
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

[26] But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
[color=#990000][/color]

Forgiveness takes its root from the nature of God which is Love. It takes love to forgive and God is LOVE.

Romans 5:8 KJV
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The dynamix of redemption is complete, we only need to endeavour to understand it.

Summary
God gave us the doctrine of forgiveness and demostrated it through Christ. If any man chooses to do the same, he ratifies and consider it as an act of faith.

seem unfair to me that some people are going to live their so called internal life in hell fire

bamidelee:
so after he started existing in flesh who now govern the world

And the child grew and became strong... Luke 2.40

At that moment[of his death] the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom...Matt 27.51
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory... John 1.14

... when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3.2

thinkmoney:

Universal justice demands to correct a wrong, you have to give back what was taken.
Mankind had failed, and they were doomed for destruction. But Gods love couldn't just allow him leave the work of his hand to this terrible fate. And his sense of justice couldn't let him act like a totalitarian and just close his eyes and reset everything. Remember, there are "clouds of witnesses" including angels and demons around.
If he just cancel man sin, angels maybe could have been having doubts in their mind that God doesn't stick to his laid down rule. Demons might have felt justified about their revolt and maybe even think their sin as well wouldn't be punished.
Jesus knowing the mind of God,willingly gave his perfect and everlasting life as a ransom so Mankind can get the perfect and everlasting life they lost back.
You see the wisdom and love of God.

So you mean you go to sleep each day feeling scared of not waking up. Not one of 7 billion people on earth believes that, even you. But I can say that most of your day you go to bed thinking about the 'morrow.

But like I said, when death stares you in the face, you'll have a rethink about the relationship between death and sleep.
Death is one of the greatest questions humanity as a whole has meditated on. The fact that it is inevitable doesn't diminish its dread. Forget what you see on tv about "brave" people standing up to death. I think you're enlightened enough to know that tv only cares to appeal to human fantasy about life.

Adonis3:
You think anyone would be scared if they know they'll wake up after 3 days.

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

sonmvayina:
A sacrifice to end all sacrifice
..problem though, while will God, sacrifice his son to himself to appease himself, so that he can forgive his servants..

Activa:


You didn't answer his question.

Were sins not being forgiven before crucifixion?

Who impregnated her without her consent?

...according to the tale he was crucified by MEN, not God

Zenithpeak:




Read the book of Romans 11 may be you'll see the reason behind why the Jews were like that.

Know this truth for sure, all the Jews will be saved.

The only opportunity you have to be saved is now.

That the Jews did not believe him will not be an excuse for you.

God have different salvation plan for the Jews and the rest of the world.

Pls leave the Jews out of own way of salvation.

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

Mudida:
It was God's first and last Human sacrifice...And He (God) was the sacrifice

Na today you know say the Bible god na blood thirsty god?

But the deluded xtians are too deluded to see this.

FMCASH:
Receive sense bro, why will you serve God that segregate salvation

Radiohead6:
Yup that's why he's called the 'Lamb' of God,

Adonis3:


Anyone who calls the "Death" of Jesus the "greatest" gift and sacrifice ever is only deceiving himself.


Oh yes, he was God's only son. But then, he allowed him to die knowing he had the power to raise him.

Doesn't seem like a sacrifice to me.

RosaConsidine:


I must admit, as a Christian, this is a pretty confusing point - that we're expected to do what God doesn't do which is forgive without blood being shed. Jesus died for pur sins and our salvation, meaning that each time we ask for forgiveness of sins, his sacrifice on the cross is reactivated to cleanse us of that sin, which is great. But how come we humans are expected to forgive each other without a shedding of blood - or is it also Jesus' sacrifice that is activated when we forgive one another? I'm quite confused.

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.
