Why is Christ's death considered a sacrifice?

[Bibliofagus]

I have no problem paying off my own sins on the cross. Theres 6 billion people alive right now. And jebus three day 'sacrifice' saves them all... How many did he save per second on the cross?

How many microseconds would i be on the cross if i'd carry my own burden? Would i even notice?

Correct - those things aren't sacrifice. The sacrifice part was taking the sins of the world upon himself and dying on the cross.

You clearly don't know what the word "sacrifice" means.

Its not just life offered up, forfeited and/or surrendered.

Its also a life lost forever. Perished. Destroyed. Someone who is killed, is now dead and stays dead.

Even if we accept your ridiculous premise, the *resurrection* and ascending to heaven as a reward completely negates it.

Thus the glorification renders the whole crucifixion utterly pointless.

Creepy.

Actually, its the silliest fucking story going.

Takes a real asshole to fall for it.

WC, your manager buys you a drink and you refuse to take it.
This is the position those who refuse the price paid for them are in.
Thank you for the illustration.

Exhibit A checks in.

I've had worse fucking weekends!
While I'm at it, if he died for all of our sins why does anyone still need to repent?
Scary stories and fairy tales, that's all it is, and it's getting harder and harder for them to get people to believe it.
I'll never understand why normally intelligent people completely discard rationality when it comes to this bullshit.

To be resurrected, glorified beyond comprehension, seated at the right hand of the creator of reality. Is. Not. A. Sacrifice.

To be beaten to a bloody pulp with glass shard whips, having His forehead shredded by twisted needles, and left hanging from metal spikes driven through your wrists for a crowd of people that could give a shit...JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES THEM.

Only an insensitive and ungrateful douche-bag like you would say that's not a sacrifice.

Moreover, you seem to forget that He sacrificed, meaning gave up completely, every single earthly desire to indulge in sin. Whereas I bet a lamebrain like you couldn't stop stroking your own prick, much less your ego, for less than 5 minutes.

But then we don't believe in absurd bullshit like you do, do we?

If he loved people, he could do something actually useful, like solve all of the problems and fix all of the flaws of the world, which are ultimately 100% his fault.

Instead, he goes through some stupid bloody theater just to save us from a punishment he never had to institute in the first place.

It's like 2 billion people munch paint chips every day, that this is something they think is real or makes any sense at all.
