A question for a devoted Christian. - Page 8

If we followed the rule of 'homosexuality=sin' then we would be able to kill our neighbors if they worked on the Sabbath, stone adulterers, and make sure our daughters never had a window that faced the gate, since certain books of the Bible lists those as acceptable actions

Yes and if you read further you would find out that those laws have been changed. God set those standards before Christ came, and since He has been the law has been revised.

How is God a big kid? He made the universe He has a right to control it as He sees fit. Besides if God were fair then He wouldn't have sent His son to die for us.
God was reasonable when He only gave Adam and Eve one rule, they broke it and they should have paid the price and never had a chance for appeal because that would have been fair.

What?! That doesn't make any sense! If God is infallible than his laws would be absolutely perfect and never need revision! The only way out is to admit that blatant opinions written by men not inspired by God are within the Bible.

so once he found out that it is hard to be a human (god incarnet means god himself as a human) he said "shit maybe im wrong". as such, maybe its tim for another resurection, dontcha think. maybe this time he can be a gay, black, jewish, poor, member of the opra whinfry clubn. then some shit would happen.

You are clearly ignorant. The old testament law was in place because up until the point of Christ's death people had no other course of salvation. But since the death and ressurection of Christ humans no longer are required to atone for their sins the same way because Jesus was the sacrifice.

You are more than welcome to try to tell Him that to His face but you will not succeed for at the appointed time ALL people will acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

You know, ever since I started Catholic school since I was 5, I don't understand why Jesus had to be 'sacrificed'. He was brutally murdered and betrayed by his followers. Why would God be happy that Her son was destroyed by the very people She tried to save? Someone tried explaining it to me before, but I'll admit that I haven't completely gotten the concept yet.

"Her"

jesus was god. just in human form. jesus did not know this untill he died. i think. ethereal?

Jesus knew good and well that He was God and that He had to die in fact when He told his disciples Peter said "no that can't be true" and Jesus rebuked him for thinking that he could outsmart God.
Also Jesus was not killed by His followers He was killed by those who knew He was right and did not want to change their ways.

But that doesn't explain how Jesus' death, which was caused by humans, somehow saved all humanity. It doesn't make sense how his death opened the gates of heaven if he was chosen to be killed over a murderer like Barabas. I would think that God would be very angry if Her only son was killed by those She meant to save. Your thoughts?

god never truely understood what it was like to be human untill lived as one. in doing so he found a new respect for them, and granted them heaven.

Wrong again. God first said to Adam and Eve 'the day you eat of the fruit you will die" this death is the price for sin and it had to be payed by someone perfect (Jesus) in order for the sin to be removed and salvation granted. God meant for Jesus to die it was the plan and even though it hurt Him he did it out of love

that doesnt explain why. just how. my answer does. and its all history, you dont know if im wrong or not.

That is why. Jesus had to pay the price of sin that man could not pay. You think God is an asshole because His Son did what we could not do. Jesus could have chosen not to die and we would all be condemned to Hell but God loves us.

juses is god. not his son. and why did it take "god" dieinig to get rid of sin. not how.
