Thread: Sacrifice

I posed that same question during bible study (don't ask.. ), and they said that he didn't know that he was going to be resurrected. So, it was a sacrifice in that sense. I'm still confused about why it's a big deal that god sent down his son to die when in actuality he came back in one piece...

Time in heaven? - is there such a thing there.

Maybe the sacrifice was having to leave heaven to return the world of noise & pain. Who would want to choose that after being there?
sacrifice eternal bliss to help fellow man.

I have an off-topic counter-question: why do you place so many unneeded new empty lines into your posts?

That's a pretty fail sacrifice; considering the nature of it.

You have missed the most important point of the sacrafice:

Jesus spent 3 days EARTH TIME in hell.

But hell's timescale has nothing to do with ours,

Jesus could have spent an eternity in hell as far as you know.

It doesn't, but it is a reasonable point.

I suppose if you are taking the bible without interpretation, then yes, there is a big fault there.

For a non-christian, you sure do have a lot of questions about Christ.

And thats a bad thing? God Forbid people actually try to understand each other's view points!

Oh No! That would be horrible! Think of how the world would be if people actually understood how the other thought!

I can't even imagine.

I discussed this on another thread. His sacrifice wasn't his death, and it wasn't His physical torture. From the time He knelt in Gethsamane, where He bled from every pore, to His death on the cross, He suffered for all the sin in the world. From the tinniest transgression to the deepest sin, He took the full weight of it all, Else, all the world would be damned. To us His pain was incomprehensible. I don't know if we'll ever fully understand His true sacrifice for us.

Hey, that was our argument in my Jesus thread!

Ahh... the memories.

Why can't every thread be that civil and intelligent?

I don't know really. We found common ground pretty soon and were able to progress very well. Probably because we already knew that we were both pretty cool guys since we knew all that good music in the music thread.

Yes. I\'m honestly wondering if there is any reason at all for it.

Close. Well actually I went willingly with a group of Christians to a trip to Florida about 3 years ago. Back then, I was trying to join an organized religion.

My, how I've changed.

No you haven't, Mes, no one has. No one ever changes their mind about religion and that's why it's completely useless to even talk about it.
