The Absurdity Of Jesus Death On The Cross. by Martinez19(m): 8:45pm On Jul 16, 2017
It's funny how an all powerful God will send himself to be tortured and suffer the death of criminals when he could just forgive in an instant. Some christians do say that God could not have done it any other way that in the old testament, blood was used for the atonement of sins therefore Jesus had to use his blood.

First of all, who made it so that blood should be shed for the forgiveness of sins? What sort of morality is that? If God made it so, why couldn't he change it? You created a principle which requires blood of animals then decided to use your blood through suffering and torture to end it undecided. Why don't you just change the principle? Mehn, if God was a real human, I would send him to a good psychiatrist because he is a psychopath.

Forgiveness is not a hard thing nah. You sent your self on a 33 year mission because you want to forgive man but you can perform miracle anyhow. O ga o. grin

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God!!!!

I've heard this many times

but have you ever sat down to think that we regard this "message of the cross" as foolishness because its foolishness?

let me give an example, let's say A derby county fan comes to me and says his team is the best in the world and I tell him I don't believe him cuz it doesn't make sense

having no logical ground to defend his claim, he then says "the message I gave is foolishness to non Derby County fans", if one looks closer to that statement, he's actually kinda correct, its foolishness to non Derby fans but that does not mean its not foolishness

that Derby County fan represents Christians
