you have not answered the question why did jesus have to die and it would not take 15 weeks to find the answer, the bible can tell you in 15 minutes why jesus died, but why did he have to die for what purpose,

[nschaub]

Hi..could you repeat what you just said? I am not sure what you are trying to tell me..thanks....

[nschaub]

So, you think that I don't know why Jesus died? That's the part I don't understand. do you have a different answer than I do? Cause I quote the bible for why Jesus died...so we must believe that same thing if you quote the bible...

lol one moment he talks about the "just" God and in the next minute he talks about the "sbustitute". whats wrong with these people! cant they see they glaring contradiction? how can anyone be "just" if he punishes the innocent instead of the criminal?

jesus teaches us to love and do good to them that persecute us ....but god will burn them ....complete hypocracy then if he does that

[tedgrant2]

I am told that God is just.

We are sinful and because he is just, he had to have payment for sin.

As it happens, the wages of sin is DEATH.

But because he loves us, he decided to kill himself as payment.

Am I the only person who can see that this is madness?

i dont go to church but i know a lot about jesus

[judgerutherford]

the bible answered the question correctly as you just say adam and eve sinned and that was it,the reason why jesus came wasto do with what happened in the garden of eden plus the issue of universal soveriengty,jehoval allowed satan time to prove the challange that man would not die if he eat the fruit,jehovah had to allow at least 1000 years as this day was not 24 hours long,jesus was born exactly the same as adam perfect and did what adam could of done,this was the reason jesus came,a lot to it

[judgerutherford]

now you should be able to understand this scripture in john 17v3 "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God(jehovah), and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.

I have made your name(jehovah) manifest to the men you gave me out of the world"

[judgerutherford]

jesus was not resurrected as a man as this would of meant he was taking back the ransom price, a perfect life for a perfect life,jesus was resuurrected as a spirit person the same way he was when he lived with his father jehovah in heaven millions of years before he came to earth as a perfect man to balance the scales by giving back what adam lost for you and all manking,yes perefct himan life free from sin and death and so this is the reason jesus died

[judgerutherford]

so thats the reason why jesus died for all manking to give everyone the chance now to live forever on a paradise earth, not as a angel in heaven, remember adam was a perfect man was made to live on the earth forever in perfect human life,notice where adam was living when he was created and where he would always live, yes on a paradise earth forever,no old age,no sickness and no death,

[judgerutherford]

so jesus was born a perect man just like adam and so jesus would remain obedient to jehovah as a perefect man and would pay back what adam lost,namely perfect human life, and so jesus would die for the world of mankind,by offering his perfect human life as a ransom,thats why just said in matthew 20v28 Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul(life) a ransom in exchange for many. yes exchange his perfect life for the one adam threw away

[judgerutherford]

as soon as jesus was born the serpent(satan) tried to destroy jesus and so sent the magi to herod in a hope to kill jesus as god did not lead these so called wise men who looked for omens and to show this read deut 18v10 There should not be found in you -- a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or .For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah" satan sent the wise men NOT GOD
