Either your god died, and gave himself as a sacrifice; or he didn't. Don't point me to the Bible; I've read it and find it entirely unconvincing. I'm asking you, as a thinking person, to explain it as you understand it.
I'll point you to the Bible every time you say something that is wrong, it's what I should do.
Quote:How do you understand this? Is your Christ both the son of your god, and your god himself?
Christ is one person of the Godhead, He is both the Son and God. I don't expect you to understand this but, it's not my fault you can't.
Quote:If so, when he was killed, how did your god continue living?
Christ became a man, that's the only way He could have died. He gave up all He was in heaven to come here and live as a man and die as a sinless man.
Quote:Was your Christ only a representative of your god's ka? if so, why should his death be regarded as a sacrifice?
I believe the answers above answer this question.
Quote:Lay out your thinking, in clear English. A sacrifice is meaningless if nothing is given up. Did your god die on the cross?
Yes He did, is that plain enough for you. Christ left heaven and gave up everything He was there to die for mankind, the mankind He loves.
Quote:It's a simple answer: yes, or no. Did he die at Calvary?
Yes He died at Calvary and rose to life three days later a short distance away. You're working awfully hard to trap me into something.

XD no imaginary friends says the theist who believes in god who hasn't showed up or even wanted to make himself appear to humans in a modern age.
Sorry you haven't seen Him, I have and know He's real.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
