His resurrection depends largely on the condition of his heart before death {Ecclesiastes 12:1} if he sincerely search for God with all his heart God will bring him back for us to teach him what Christ really teach in Paradise! Luke 23:41-43

Blabbermouth:

He can't see this, the OP is dead already.

Only readers-by (that are alive of course) still have the benefit to pick 1 or 2 truths from it.

This is not FP worthy because even the OP who claims to debunk a misconception, is unclear about the scriptures

The OP is even confused

According to the Old Covenant Law/agreement between God and His people, Israel, the only way to fulfill the Old Covenant requirement was to attain righteousness and then die afterward, a righteous man. undecided

Well, Jesus Christ fulfilled the requirements of the Old Covenant Law - He died a righteous sinless man- so that all those of the blood of Jacob, who were still sinners and would leave the Old Covenant for the New Covenant would be imparted with His Righteousness and His Death, bringing to an end the hold of the Old Covenant on them(without penalty), and at the same time maintaining there place in the promise of the Old Covenant while they seek out a new life in the New Covenant. undecided

Jesus Christ's death was what I call inevitable and necessary for good reason. First, most every other prophet before Him was murdered. John the Baptist, the last of them and all He did was preach repentance to a sinful woman to get his head lobbed off. So Jesus Christ came ready to die at the hands of the same thugs. I mean He came in the name of God preaching a departure from the Old Covenant - some would say He was begging to be killed. undecided
Second, in order for His mission to the lost sheep of Israel(Jewish sinners) to be made complete, He had to die. The fulfillment of the Old Covenant made that necessary in order that through His death, the lost of Sheep of Israel(Jewish sinners) gained victory over the Old Covenant as they are ushered into a New Covenant with God. So, for the sake of the Lost Sheep(Jewish sinners), Jesus Christ needed to die. undecided

Third, for His New Covenant to apply to those of other nations -the gentiles who were born dead to the Law by God's design - He had to rise from the dead. This so that through His resurrection, He imparts the Life that He is to those previously condemned to death(dust to dust). So, for the sake of the Nations, Jesus Christ had to die - He came knowing this and prepared to die. undecided

The fourth reason why Jesus Christ had to die was so that He could then live inside of His followers. They become His body and force by which His work to to continue from generation to generation, all of them of course, driven by Him through submission and obedience to the New Covenant of God through Jesus Christ. undecided

His blood - the blood of the Covenant - was shed for the forgiveness of the sins of those who belong in His New Covenant. Pretty much since it was to be shed anyways, why not. After all He was a sinless man ...God's own avatar, the Law, and the King Himself in the Kingdom of God so His blood was perfect for the job. undecided

So, in a sense, He died for the sinners, those of the blood of Jacob - He came to call the sinners and not the righteous among them. Though they come to Him, the New Covenant, as Old Covenant sinners, through impartation of His own Righteousness and His own Death upon them, they are made righteous where the old Covenant is concerned and dead to it, but give His Life in the New Covenant. undecided

So it has nothing to do with blood sacrifices or human ones as you imagine on altars and what not. His sacrifice is of a different kind entirely. undecided
