That's exactly what you said
Quote:I said He did not sacrifice Himself to Himself,
Christ did not sacrifice himself to himself, correct. God sacrificed himself, to himself.
Quote:He Gave His life for us (do you understand what the word for means.)
I do, but not when you use it two different ways. The first what you wrote it was implying that the SACRIFICE was FOR US. "Gave his life for us" and "The sacrifice is for us" are two different things.
Grammar context is key, and you seem to lack this. These two sentences are completely different:
"The sacrifice was for us."
"Christ gave his life for us."
The sacrifice was not FOR us. It was for God.
Quote:We are not giving a sacrifice to any one
Then why sacrifice in the first place? If it's not a sacrifice, it was just the murder of Jesus. Which is not a sacrifice, it's murder. A sacrifice is FOR someone.
Quote:that has been done for us once and for all, no other sacrifice needed. When Christ gave His life for us it was sufficient for all people for all time.
Christ gave his life for "us," but to whom did he give the sacrifice to?
Quote:Yes we do have control of our own fate, God gave us freewill to insure that our eternal destiny was our choice not His.
Okay cool. So if I choose not to go to hell because I didn't give money to kid fiddlers, God won't toss me there, right? If I ignore your religion entirely, and just go about my life, God won't send me to some fiery pit for eternity, right? Okay, cool.
Quote:Yes our sin is covered when we accept Christ as our savior, at that given point in time. Yes a person condenms his/herself to hell
No, a person does not. God sends a person to hell. Humans do not make an active choice to be burned for eternity because they didn't buy into an unproven belief system.
Quote:and God the Father shows them why and how they did this. You are right no one wants to go into an eternal hell, that is when they realize it is a real place, so yes God is the One who puts people there, kicking and screaming all the way there.
Oh, so there you go, you just agreed with me in the first place. God sends people to hell. So, humans don't control their own destiny, and the sacrifice that was FOR God, was meant to cover our sins so that he doesn't send us there.
Quote:The answer to your last paragragh is yourself, God shows you why your choices lead to this and off you go. This is not what God wants for you, it is your choice.
I do not pussyfoot around it is your misconception of what I post that must make you think I am.
No, you do, because you refused to answer my last paragraph which was a hypothetical situation, that asked a direct question to you, which you ignored.
I know exactly what you're posting and how you act, and it's calling "pussyfooting around the subject."
You have still yet to demonstrate how the statement, "God sacrificed himself, to himself" is inaccurate.
God (Which is composed of the trinity) sacrificed a part of himself (Christ), to himself.
So far, you've tried to tell me that the sacrifice was:
1) Not made to God
2) That humans have the ability to simply ignore sin, and have the choice to not go to Hell at will. (Or rather, you're implying humans make an avid choice to go to hell) Also, that God does not send us there.
3) Then you say that God sends us there.
Seriously, you can't even get the facts of your own religion straight. I should refer you to this thread:

Not only do you lack knowledge in your own religion, you're also a horrible apologist.
I like the way you think!
...But please stop thinking, it's not you.
