#1 Posted: 9/11/2011 9:46:46 PM what is the big deal?
I mean he is the son of God, why does it matter that he gave his human life on the cross. What is a human life worth in the Kingdom of God?
Is this really that big of a sacrifice? Think about it. If he dies at 27 or at 77 what is the difference? If he dies in his sleep or on the cross, what is the big deal? He is the son of God for crying out loud, what would the worldly issues matter for his life when he will spend the next 10,000 years at the right hand of God?
Puzzling. |

This is kind of my point. I am not much of a guy. I drink a little too much and gamble too much but as I was thinking about the dying on the cross thing it came to me that I would take one for the team too. I mean, do not get me wrong, I really appreciate what he did and all but would not anyone do that?
We have kids go "over the hill" in war into a hail of bullets and take one for the team. The Japanese have kamikazes. These people are sacrificing themselves for others. Jesus made a good call and all by dying on the cross to take care of all the sins of man but I think most people when faced with this decision would have done the same?
Not all that big of a deal?

Few guys go up a mountain and write a book and you guys believe every word of it. If 5 guys went up a mountain today with no proof of anything and wrote a book of invisable men, would you believe it? |

Jesus was human....so therefore he cannot be God or the son of God.
He is a messenger of God

How did the writer of Genesis some 2000 years ago know that the universe had a beginning? Something that scientists with all the technology they have are only now able to confirm.

Comparing God to Santa and the tooth fairy....

Puzzling.
'For the Son of Man himself did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many'.

I know what you are saying, it is not so much about the cross itself, it is more about respecting the symbolism.. |
