Why was the crucifixion necessary ?
#39
RE: Why was the crucifixion necessary ?
I think the answer to your question is really quite simple, Mr Grimes. I think, somehow, the god of the old testament must have realized on some level what a prick he was being to the people he'd created. But in the heat of the moment his poorly developed sense of empathy kept failing to balance his wrathful, vengeful emotions. To help Him develop better empathy He had to become a man and undergo as much suffering as He Himself had been inflicting on His people. When, as Jesus, he cried out "why hath thou forsaken me" He finally realized how all His victims must have felt when He was being such a colossal dick. And that is why the God of the NT is such a nicer guy than the God of the OT.

The end.
