The death on the cross for Jesus was necessary. It shows us how greatly God loves us...
Say what? Necessary?!?
God made the rules... he didn't have to make it necessary if he didn't want to... why murder your own son?
God could have waved his magic wand and forgiven sin without any need for bloodshed... necessary? ha!
God sacrifices himself, to himself, to serve as a loophole for a rule he created himself... seems legit...
Exactly. It is said that God knew everything from the beginning. Then why does he allow all this pain and suffering in the world? To prove a point?
You could ask the same question about 'the flood'...
If God knew he was going to kill 99.999% of the population... why create them in the first place? Why not just start with Noah instead of Adam? Why kill 99.999% of the population for being evil?...
God created them, knowing they were going to turn out evil... wtf? Now he sent 99.999% of the planet to hell for no reason... why create any soul that is destined to hell?
That sounds mean to me, creating a soul that you plan to torture for eternity... why would a "God" do that?
This is the main problem with religion... none of the events make a bit of sense when you apply critical thinking skills...
You forget one thing. God loved us so much, that He did the best for us. What is that best? God is giving us in our selves, Himself. He is making us like Him. We have the choice to be like Him or not. How do we have that choice? He gave it to us. Either join Him and be like Him, or do away with ourselves.
What's the question here? I'd slap you ion the face if I was God. And to think He offers you the greatest thing that there is... to be like Him. And you even suggest turning it down. What an insult. Even you would be insulted if you offered someone a million dollars, and besides not accepting it, all he did was to call you a piece of shit to your face.
