Jesus's sacrifice

[fr0d0]

Sin is a wholly religious concept, so I will leave the hypothetical definitions of the word to you. The confusion between you and Shell and I is due to a collision of creationist and cosmological 'origin of everything' theories. In the cosmological view, the 'non-existence' that came before 'existence'... is different than the nothing that is the opposite of what things 'are'. I don't think this is constructive territory to tread upon.

You're chicken. I can see that

Back to the original topic...

So, god (in the form of Jesus) came to earth to live as a human so that he could experience the nothingness of sin. That was the sacrifice. Death and subsequent ascension were the end of the sacrificing, then, and not the sacrifice itself.

Is that what you're saying here, fr0d0?

Hey I just popped in to kudos Shell and make a small point

Nah, God didn't need to experience it, but set up a stooge that humans could relate to. The momentous statement was the abolition of sacrifice of course. There's now nothing between us and the attainment of the ultimate in positivity.
