ayoku777: so i should trust a creator that craves for blood because its his so called protocol? i thought he was all good. . even humans that are termed the sinners like xtianity does, do not have such blood lust... ok whats worse, in order to stop the protocol he did the unthinkable by murdering his son instead of just stopping it. nawa ooo ... humans are curious beings and we have every right to question everything. 2 Likes |

johnydon22: That makes sense. Curiousity is a gift from God. Infact, its part of how we even get to know Him more. Problem is, why do you always love to ask your fellow man your deepest questions about God? No man can satisfactorily answer your heart's question about God. We can only try. We are asking Him or own deep questions too, even as christians. And He's helping us, one issue at a time. If these questions matter so much to you, why don't you develop a relationship with God, and take your yearnings to Him? And He will help you by His Spirit. Unless you don't believe in God; and your query and accusation of His ways is just a pretence to mask your unbelief in His existence. 3 Likes |

ayoku777:Don't I just love this answer? God bless you bro. johnydon22:Because sin and death came into the world through one man. And redemption and eternal life also was brought to the world through one man. Some things are mysteries to the human mind, things only God can understand, because He's the all-knowing God. You might also want to ask why God allowed Adam to disobey Him in the first place, and why He allowed satan to have a convincing and sweet way of luring people. So many mysteries surround our mere existence, and only Him can solve the puzzles. 2 Likes |

MzPreshie: there another one goes again with sin came in through one man and will go through one man forgetting the question stated.. why must that one man be killed?? ... am certain adam wasnt murdered to bring in sin, so why do God feel the need to murder his son before he can bring redemption and eternal life to men when he could easily do it with requiring blood sacrifice from anybody talkmore his own son... so God sent his son jesus, so that his son will sacrifice himself to him (God) before he can Forgive humans... wow nice story. God used his son to offer sacrifice to himself... lmao. 1 Like |

johnydon22: I'm a christian and I'm filled with the Holy Spirit; but being filled with the Holy Spirit doesn't automatically make you know all about God. Its still relative to your maturity and fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and obedience to His leading. If being filled with the Spirit automatically makes you know all about God; scripture won't ask us to GROW in grace and in KNOWLEDGE. And ofcourse, I've asked Him many things He has answered; and many He hasn't answered. The quest and the adventure of the pursuit of God is part of the beauty of a close walk with Him I don't have answers to all your questions, and I'm not suppose to - I'm not God. That why a true servant of God is one who leads men to God, not one who tries to play God in people's lives. But you can take your questions to God yourself. You don't owe your spirituality and knowledge of God to someone else; you can and should know Him for yourself. 1 Like |

johnydon22: without the shading of blood there is no remission of sin |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by johnydon22(m): 8:00am On Dec 02, 2014 |
luckychosen: lol that same question i am asking... must he have a blood sacrifice before he can forgive and grant remission. . . so God must sacrifice his son to himself before he can grant humans remission... wow am loving it |

johnydon22: Bros, when God himself declared that he changes not, what do you think he was saying? I'm not trying to defend God but I always try to look at him based on what he said about his person. Let's look at it this way:- you have your attributes or characteristics as a human being. Your creator also has his attributes and characteristics as God. Those attributes/characteristics of him are unchangeable hence what you are asking about must go the way it did. It just has to go in line with his attributes/characteristics. It may not sound pleasing to human ears but God will always operate in accordance with his person. That's the way I look at it. |

A good fairy tale needs to be mesmerizing - forgiveness would not be as entertaining to read about as wholesale slaughter. |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by johnydon22(m): 11:18am On Dec 02, 2014 |
honourhim: ok now i get it God's characteristics also includes demanding for blood before he can grant remission for sin... ok good one... he is all good and all loving indeed |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by honourhim: 11:58am On Dec 02, 2014 |
johnydon22: As hard as it may sound bro, that's the truth. Hebrews 9:22 says it. Also If there was a better alternative, God wouldn't have sacrificed Jesus. johnydon22: Are you sure what you said here is in the bible? |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by hercules07: 12:05pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
johnydon22: You are asking the wrong questions, the question should be, why the heck do I care what Adam did, I am not related to him and I do not believe he is my ancestor, the stories in the bible are mostly fables garnished with some truths. |

Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 2 Likes |

honourhim: so if God had another alternative hw wouldnt have sacrificed jesus... hmmm and i even thought he was all powerful. . . you are asking whether what i said is in the bible, are you by any chance trying to tell me he is not all good and all loving... |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by honourhim: 3:42pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
johnydon22: I said no better alternative. Jesus was the highest and best sacrifice for our sins. He gave us the best. Hebrews 10;4 "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats will take away sins". johnydon22: I asked because i ve not seen where he said he is all good and all loving but i ve seen where he said that he created evil and good. I have seen where he talked about his wrath, his love. His mercy etc. I ve also seen where we are told to give thanks in everything. But if you have seen where he said he is all good then let me know. Learning is a continuous process. Job 2:10 says shall we receive good [/b]at the hand of God, and shall we not receive [b]evil? |

Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by dhope: 4:20pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
OP. i think d right answer to ur question is that HE is just God and HE did dt because HE is God and HE is unquestionable. HE choosed to use His only son to redeem us frm sin and nobody can question Him on that. 2 Likes |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by johnydon22(m): 4:35pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
honourhim:so i make out to say that you mean God is not all good and all merciful... then why worship a being that claim to be holy but still yet not all good... if you say he is not all good then he is not holy, if you say he is not all merciful, then whats the point in all this shiii... no let other christians catch u saying God is not all holy and merciful... lmao |

dhope: And the basis for ignoring your common sense is an old book of Jewish myth, right? Someone found a book, you read the book, and suddenly the contents of the book cannot be subjected to scrutiny from human beings. This is unprecedented, to say the least. |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by johnydon22(m): 5:05pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
dhope: yes he is God and unquestionable... but why couldnt he just forgive the sins of mankind without demanding his sons murder... thats the question. |

Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by An2elect2(f): 6:16pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
johnydon22: lol na answer u dey receive na. You are not comfortable with the way God runs this world however as it pleases Him, then you are stepping on that stumbling block that was prepared by God himself.... Anyway, its good that you are asking questions, something that most self professed Christians would not do even though they know nothing about God or even the faith they hold claim to. And trust me, most do not truly believe. I pray God grants you eyes to see and ears to hear. |

Weah96:u cud hav expressed ur mind regarding ur belief wit civility. nothing stop u frm using ur common sense to reply OP using d book u believe rather than calling one an old book of jewish myth. mtcheww.. |
Re: Why Didnt God Just Forgive Mankind Instead Of Killing His Son??? by Weah96: 6:39pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
dhope: I apologize if I sounded rude, but the truth has NO agenda. The bible is a book of myths. |
