Default Questions to Christians regarding the P... - 03-16-2004, 07:05 PM

After watching the brutal treatment that Jesus undergoes in the movie I couldnt help but wonder about your Jesus and the bible as a whole.

I asked myself, why did God allow his son to be subjected to such brutal treatment just to make a point?

Why do we blame Judas for betraying Jesus if it was already planned that he will be betray Jesus?

Can we also conclude that the Jews, Romans didnt do anything wrong as they were part of Gods plan to crucify Jesus? And if they didnt do it then someone would still have done as it was part of Gods plan.

What is the symbolism of God allowing Jesus to be betrayed then brutally beaten then crucified? Couldnt God just have simply accomplished his plan for the world in another way?

Please tell me.

I AM, I EXIST, I HAPPENED. I AM HANNIBAL THE GREAT. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ME.Using pure fact derived from biblical teaching the Prince will answer. DISCLAIMER THESE ARE NOT ALL MY THOUGHTS, .
Eve meesed up and ate the fruit, sin entered the world. The wages of sin is death folks, man now had to die, but God being the benovolent creator gave man another chance and allowed his to achieve salvation by his own works.. Man was to sacrifice a lamb for his sins, but man having fallen far from the glory of God needed another form of salvation. God is love, for he so loved the world that he sent his only BEGOTTEN SON, God sent Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of man, man is now saved by grace and not by his action...the price has been paid. Judas acted by free will, had he chosen the path of righteousness the man betraying Christ may have been known as Solomon or Mary, but Judas was weak and his will not strong. Jesus took the sin of the entire world, past present and future, and bore then so that man may not die, but have everlasting life....sexy is it not?

There is nothing I hate like people who cant explain or question what they believe in.

I asked a very valid question regarding the movie and all you IDIOT petermaumau can tell me is to ask JESUS my questions.

How stupid can you be? Do you have Jesus 900 hundred number? How can you piptp glee with hapiness by supporting such idiocy.

Why cant you be like HANNIBAL who gave me a a very insightful intelligent answer to what he believes.

Well, God is a God of Justice. Man goofed, and therefore he had to pay the price. The wages of sin, after all are death, so God, being a God of Justice, had to execute his justice.

However, God is also a God of Mercy. So instead of punishing man, he took the punishment for them. He couldn’t just let man's indiscretions go away, because he is a just God. So someone had to pay. He did.

>Why do we blame Judas for betraying Jesus if it was already
>planned that he will be betray Jesus?

Man is by and large rather silly. We should be thankful that we didn't get the job!

>Can we also conclude that the Jews, Romans didn’t do anything
>wrong as they were part of Gods plan to crucify Jesus? And if
>they didn’t do it then someone would still have done as it was
>part of Gods plan.

The fact that God ultimately derives good from man's acts, be they good and evil does not give man a rubber stamp to do as he pleases. Man is free to make his own choices but he'd better be ready to reap the fruits!

>What is the symbolism of God allowing Jesus to be betrayed
>then brutally beaten then crucified? Couldn’t God just have
>simply accomplished his plan for the world in another way?

Like I said before, God exercised justice. If you goof you must reap the rewards. However he is also merciful. So instead of making man pay for his sins the paid for them himself. There's no contradiction. If he just forgot about them it would negate the principle of justice
