The Trinity Explained

RE: The Trinity Explained

Again, refer to my post on understanding cause/effect and motive. When Bruce Willis' character detonated the nuclear bomb inside the killer asteroid to save humanity (and also bring the horrible movie to a close, thereby saving the audience as well), it was a story of a sacrifice to save all of humanity. We understand the motive (the character couldn't wish the asteroid away; it was out of his or anyone else's control) and the cause/effect (well, a laughably unrealistic cause/effect but the concept was that blowing up the asteroid from within would save the world).

Yahweh can simply choose to forgive. The blood sacrifice doesn't help anything. It was just senseless torture and bloodshed.
