Default Re: Jesus was unnecessary

[ QUOTE ]
I dont know any Christians who say that those who lived before Christ could not be saved. Could be wrong, but I think most Christians believe that the sacrifices of the OT pointed forward to Christ, and that those in the OT (i.e. Abraham were still saved by faith.

**Also, your propositions do not logically support your conclusion that Jesus was unnecessary. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ugh, I really need to put more than twelve seconds of thought into these things [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] ok, to address:

1) God could have created a purification method independent of people's beliefs, and one that did not involve a crucifixion.

2) But he decided not to employ it and go with Jesus.
