Why Did Jesus Have To Die? by RiffRaff: 5:02pm On Oct 03, 2010
If God is the authority and forgiver of Sins. Why exactly did he have to change to human or send his son (depending on ur belief of Trinity) to suffer & die.
Could it be that he couldn’t forgive humanity without the death of his son?
Thoughts??

its just one of the uncountable absurdities that is the christian religious belief. i would say, just like our own african traditionalist who sacrifice animals to appease their gods, the jews had such same belief in such practice, thats why the OT god used to be offered (and accepted) animal sacrifices (like in the cain and abel story and an absurdity on its own). the jesus thingy is just an extended version, like, to wash away sins, something had to be sacrificed, in this case, a human. i'm just a mere mortal n can easily forgive someone but not the bible god who would rather put on an unwarranted display of an unnecessarily complicated show of virgin births and executions just to "simply" forgive humanity
