As a Christian I believed these scenes accurately portrayed the essence of Jesus's sacrifice.
The Lion Aslan playing the part of Jesus dying in exchange for a son of Adam. The queen obviously Satan. The stone Altar representing the Law.
In short, a son of adam becomes a traitor in exchange for possibility of reward from the ice queen. The lion offers his life up in place of the child. The queen kills the lion, thinking she's won through the death of the great king lion Aslan, exchanging his blood for the child's and fulfilling the sacrificial law set in place. However deep in the law it is written that an innocent sacrifice is not equal to the child's blood and thus the law itself is broken through that act. The ice queen thought she'd won per the law, but Aslan overturned the law entirely.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
