The Significance of Christ's Death.
I'm curious as to the significance of Christ's death.
Okay, so the Holy Trinity consists of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, they're all the same being, even thought they're different.
So Jesus is God, just as God is Jesus.
Wouldn't that mean that Jesus, just as God, knows everything?
If Jesus knows everything, then he knew from the start that one day he would sacrifice himself for the betterment of mankind, so there were no surprises during the time of the crucification, which would have made it astronomically more bearable than if someone else had partaken in the events and did NOT know what the outcome would be.
So wheres the significance in Christ's death? I'm sure many people would have done what he did (especially since they'd know what to expect) if it meant that people could spend eternity in heaven.
Often time people will recite John 3:16 to help convert people because it really pulls on their heart strings. "Man, he let his son die for me."
But when looked at rationally, when Jesus died he would have gone right back to heaven (except for that whole going to hell and witnessing thing, or whatever he did), so it's not like God lost his only son forever, only for the 33 and however years that he was on Earth, and figuring he's been around forever, I'm sure that wasn't a very long time to wait.
Basically I see no significance in the death of Jesus Christ, but I'd really like to hear the counter arguments to it, because if there was a significance to Jesus's death I'd definitely like to know what it is.
