@jon.cohen.unconvinced: If forgiveness requires violence and death first…what exactly are we calling ‘love’? #atheism #religiondebate #criticalthinking #christianity #philosophy

kacey2020gh :

if you can have something back immediately you loose it, it's never a sacrifice... esp knowing fully well you'll get it back. COMMON SENSE

chrislanglois16 :

Jesus died and got promoted to savior and has the choice of who goes to heaven of hell. What a sacrifice right?

We are to require to forgive people without shedding blood so why couldn’t God do that?

TeeDub :

I listened to this entire call. I don't think the guest even fathomed the point you were making. Sad.

BakugoneTooFar💥 :

they dont seem to understand that in the world we live in, in the reality we live in. its not logical that god is both all powerful and all good simultaneously.

ElizaMyth :

Pamela :

Unconditional love..that’s not what demonstrated in religion.

Just Some-Guy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 :

Jesus didn’t die for my sins. Let’s just say he did rise again three days later. That’s not death. That’s just a really, really shitty long weekend.

The sacrifice of Jesus was not just a symbolic gesture; it was a precise legal and spiritual necessity. To break the curse brought upon humanity by Adam and Eve, Jesus had to live a flawless, sinless life as a man, remaining obedient all the way to His death. Because Adam—a perfect man—failed, it required a perfect man to undo the damage. Through this divine exchange, Jesus’ perfection is imputed to us: Because Jesus (as man) = Perfect, then we (in Christ) = Justified and Made Perfect. Silencing the Accuser Furthermore, this exact legal standard was necessary to uphold God’s justice against the accusations of the devil. If God had simply forgiven humanity without a just penalty being paid, Satan could have rightfully claimed that God’s judgment was unfair. The enemy would argue that because humans sinned just as he did, they deserved the same condemnation. By fulfilling the law perfectly, Jesus stripped the devil of any legal right to claim humanity's soul. The Weight of the Sacrifice This was by no means an easy or detached decision for God. Sending Jesus involved real divine grief and profound sorrow. God could have easily sent a powerful angel to intervene, but an angel's life could never match the value of human soul, nor could a created being bear the weight of the world's sins. For true justice and redemption to meet, it required God Himself to make the ultimate sacrifice.
