Oh, so its purity he sacrificed now, not his life? That's called moving the goalposts, GC.
So, basically, Christ became sinful for the sake of mankind?
You got it, amazing, God never ceases in opening eyes, Christ did become sin for our sake. You see, I did not move the goalpost, you came to it.
Christ had to die, blood is the atonement for sin, why, life is in the blood.

Then why believe the son of god visited us? Do you see the NT as one big poem then or..?
The NT leads people who desire a new life to that life, a life with Christ.

So he's not all powerful then? Also he can't be all knowing if this was the only solution he could think of. It's needlessly complex. Nature always takes the shortest/easiest route, perhaps god could of done the same?
Also what is purity and does it really matter? Why should it matter?
Salvation is simple, God set it up that way so everyone could understand it. The only thing complex about salvation is pushing one's own self out of the way to receive the gift of grace.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
