An all-powerful god doesn't have to be truthful or shed that blood stuff. That you insist god does have to, is using your religon to confine god.

An all powerfull god can make anything the way he wants just by willing it.

I am not using my religion to confine God. I am using what God says about himself to "confine" him.

I thought this discussion was about the God revealed in the pages of scripture. Oh, wait. It was.

No it wasn't. it was was about whether jesus had to die to ....

Clearly if god is omnipotent then he didn't.

You are smarter than this, chez. I'll play your little game. Ignoring what scripture has to say about God...

All we know about God is that he is all-powerful. Your question then...can God forgive sins apart from the shedding of blood? Sure.

The original question. Why did Jesus have to die?

Who is Jesus? You're talking about the God of the Bible now who has said more about himself than that he is all powerful.

Are we accomplishing anything?

Yes, we are seeing you say that god couldn't have achived the same outcome without jesus dying. Clearly not true if god is omniopotent.

and you believe it because it says so in the bible. Therefore the bible restricts god's might and you put your faith in the truth of the bible rather than in god omnipotence.
