Was Jesus' sacrifice really a sacrifice at all?

[Captain Scarlet]

God did not impose the curse of sin on man, He allowed it to come into place just as He said it would, He said do not eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden for if you do you shall surely die. They did and in more than a physical death.

Godschild this is inane. If the god you worship is ominiscient and omnipotent he is as culpable as Adam and Eve. Why? Well if something undesirable was about to happen and you could neither prevent it nor did you know about it, you are of course blameless. But if you did know it would happen and were able to help prevent it, you may carry some responsibility for allowing it to happen. As you knowledge and power grow so does your culpability. Now imagine you can do everything and know everything, you are as culpable as the perpetrators.
