Re: Why did Jesus have to die?
[ QUOTE ]
It follows from god's omnipotence that jesus didn't have to die to achieve whatever god wanted. Its interesting how many religous folk use their religon to deny god's omnipotence.
They seem to believe in their religon more than they believe in god.

Does my previous reply not address this sufficiently? If not, please explain where it is lacking.
1. God is all powerful.
2. God is all knowing.
3. God is truthful.
4. God has revealed to us that there is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood.
I reject none of the above. To affirm your position that an all-powerful god must have the power to forgive sins without sacrifice, is to ignore other truths about God.
So the real question is can an all-powerful, all-knowing, truthful God who has revealed that there is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood forgive sins without the shedding of blood?
Of course not.
