Default Re: Why did Jesus have to die?

Statements/questions such as

[ QUOTE ]
If God is a just and morale go shouldnt faith alone be enough.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Jesus dying on the cross is a sensless death. Maybe if his dying closed some cosmic hole to hell it would be more acceptable.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
But go sacrificiing his only son is just a pile of crap

[/ QUOTE ]

...make me seriously question the validity of your claim to have "gone to a Catholic school and studied religion every year." Have you graduated yet?

Three other things are also clear: you have not read the Bible, you are not in any sense educated towards the words "Martyr", "Sacrifice", "Resurrection", or "Symbolism", and finally, it does not appear that you even seek an answer, but rather you are looking for some back-patting by your fellow skeptics, atheists, and otherwise rejecting malcontempts.

No short couple of sentences typed in an internet forum can come close to answering a question that theologists, scribes, and philosophers have dedicated their lives to, but if you sincerely care, then I suggest you research the following:

[ QUOTE ]
the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
'I am the good shepherd. I am willing to die for my sheep.'

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
'I am willing to give up my life in order that I may receive it back again. No-one takes my life away from me. I give it up of my own free will. I have the right to give it up, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my Father has commanded me to do .'

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
'This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
See, my servant will prosper; he will be highly exalted. Many were amazed when they saw him - beaten and bloodied, so disfigured one would scarcely know he was a person. And he will again startle many nations. Kings will stand speechless in his presence. For they will see what they had not previously been told about; they will understand what they had not heard about.
