God didn't make a sacrifice. You are questioning a pagan doctrine of human sacrifice which goes against everything "God" is supposed to be...

Happy now?

No, not really. Some of my extended family are church goers and one of their core beliefs without exception is that "Jesus died for our sins" or "suffered for us". I have witnessed some of them almost in tears with what they imagined Jesus suffered on their behalf. Another core principle (at this Anglican church) is that the sacrifice of Jesus meant that animal sacrifices as described in the OT were no longer necessary.

I am not sure if these positions are theologically correct, but they are undoubtedly what is preached at them from the pulpit (I have heard it).

I appreciate that this is not what you think Catfish.

No it doesn't, he's just trying to get the answer from someone with an opinion other than your own.

You really are an up your own arse, presumptuous little prick.

Awww, does my opinion bother you?

He set up the question to fit what he believes is "correct" and allowed no room for another point of view.

Sooo, you can fuck off now!

“What was the actual sacrifice that God made?. I said “ If Jesus is the Son part of the holy trinity then he is co-eternal in Christian doctrine (I've done my homework) so he has existed for all eternity. Therefore he has always known that he will come to earth and occupy a human body for 30 years and then be crucified, go to hell for 3 days (a place which he himself had made) re-animate his dead crucified body and ascend to heaven to be Lord of the universe for eternity again – where's the sacrifice?” Apart from the undeniable agony of a crucifixion death doesn't seem much else."

Perhaps the theists on this forum can answer this for me.

He was seperated from the Father. He accepted the consenquences that was slated for us/sinners.

Ahh. Getting somewhere now. If the sacrifice was being seperated from the Father, why did he need to be crucified?
Doesn't this imply that during Jesus' life the holy trinity became the holy duo ?

Not in the slightest, your arrogant notion that anyone gives a shit about it does.

No, he asked for an answer from a specific audience. Has nothing to do with what he believes is correct you fucking moron. If you don't count yourself amongst that audience then why the fuck comment at all. Again, you obviously think anyone gives a shit.

Gladly, just chimed in to let you know how much of a twat you are.

RE: What was the actual sacrifice that Jesus made?
He sacrificed his own life for the belief in God. He wouldn't denounce Christianity. He'd rather die for his beliefs, in the hope others would follow.
I would denounce it rather than die.

But my opinion is that Jesus never existed. He's part of Greek mythology. He only spoke in parables, or Greek philosophy, rather. No one speaks like that all the time.

If you are studying the New International Bible, can you please glance through Matthew/mark/Luke/John.? In one verse it says Jesus is somewhere [I can't recall which town] and he is saying he is the son of God. A woman says...'but you are a Greek.'
Can you find which page/verse it is in please?
