He already knew he was god and had an eternity ahead of him. 3 days of torture, with that in mind, is nothing.
It is infinitely better than a 15 hour uncomfortable plane ride knowing that there is 4 weeks of enjoyment as the payoff.
Quote:Suppose you were already in Australia, then had to take a 15-hour flight to get something that your wife had forgotten to pack. I bet you'd bitch about that, and consider the time and money spent as a sacrifice for your wife.
Sure, because it would cut into my 4 weeks in Australia.
If I could get the extra time and money added back to my trip, it is not anywhere as big a deal.
But God had an ETERNITY ahead of him. 3 days is nothing compared to that. He looses nothing for his 3 days of torture.
Lets not forget that he himself created the world and everything in it knowing this would happen! Its like someone setting a house on fire, rescuing the people inside, and then demanding they treat him as a hero and thank him for saving their lives. Also sacrifice means your facing limited options, in gods case why did anyone need to be sacrificed in the first place, seems he would of had an infinite number of possible solutions besides human sacrifice.
