Drich Wrote:How does your question relate to my statement you quoted?

Well, I'm gathering that your critique of the OP is that it isn't considering *all* that Jesus did - that, as you said, there's more than just the physical sacrifice. So my question to you is: does Christianity still work if he hadn't been sacrificed? If the answer is "yes", then that means the OP really is flawed and the point is moot. If the answer is "no" i.e. the crucifixion is *necessary*, then your appeal to "option 5" is a waste of time i.e. stop being alternative by creating a 5th option Big Grin
