Anyway, this was my response, poet.

The problem is that I was not asking if he did it with love to fix his father's creation. I told you both repeatedly that I was only asking if you viewed it as a sacrifice. We branched off into whether Jesus was human or god, according to your belief's, but the main question always was whether it was a sacrifice or not.Our only bug bear with what you said was that you seemed to insist that this was a human sacrifice... we couldn't accept every time you said it was something it was not. You objected to our correction - I don't know why if this wasn't your beef. That's the only reason it's still alive.

Quite frankly, the many different interpretations I have heard on this forum are what led me to creating this thread and then kick myself in the ass for it. There is no consensus. They shouldn't even call Christianity a religion because no two of you believe the same thing.But that's where you are very wrong. All of us agree on the point raised. You keep twisting that to your own words and then object saying it's off topic when yet again we're forced to desagree.
Coffeeveritas confirmed the core issue we keep repeating. Theology isn't an exact science and we're continually working at better interpretation so that we can understand what was plainly understood back when it was writen.

It would be like me and one other person worshiping the story "Cinderella" and one interpreting that fairy meant gay guy with style who fancied her up for the ball and me interpreting it as a magical creature, but on a much more broad scale. It's a wonder you can get a full congregation with that kind of shit.
And I suspect you're just being deliberately provocative with that.
