did jesus deserve to die???

The common view of Jesus's death is that it's purpose was to save us from the sin which man brought into this world.

But if this universe was created by an omniscient, omnipotent, supreme being, then all that exists was caused by that being. An omniscient, omnipotent being (and we'll stray from logic here and pretend that an omniscient and omnipotent being can be animate instead of inert) has the foresight to see and the power to prevent sin. Yet it created us, and therefore sin, anyway. Sin is thus god's fault.

"In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with G-d, and the Word was G-d. Through him all things were made; and without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:1

This verse is interpreted to be referring to Jesus. It states that Jesus himself was responsible for sin. And according to the Bible, the wages of sin is death. So the death of Jesus, the son of god, is not best explained as an act of mercy, but an act of penitence.

Christians really don't like this

  • It was never a question of Him DESERVING to die. He was born the way He was in order to die on our behalf. In the aesthetic sense of course, He didn't deserve to die, for He didn't do anything wrong! Even Pilate said at Jesus' trial, "I find NO FAULT in him....." His death wasn't penitence, for there was no PERSONAL sin for Him to die for! It was OUR sin he died for. Sin isn't God's fault. He only created the POTENTIAL for it to exist. If he hadn't, then our love for Him wouldn't be pure. Rather, it would be more coerced and forced. The potential for sin gave man a CHOICE to trust and obey, rather than simply be TOLD not to sin.

  • i'm a christian, and Jesus is incomparable to any guy, he's the exception, for this reason He had to die, because of the fact He did no longer deserve it, all of us, which contains Dr.King deserve dying, that's what all of us get- bodily. you chosen the dropping facet of the communicate in case you think of Jesus deserved to die.

  • I'm a Christian, and I don't mind this post at all.

    I don't entirely agree with it...

    But I do see your point.

    What you're forgetting is that you and I, and everyone ever created...we all have a choice.

    If God was "responsible for sin", then He also provided the way to escape the death penalty...so you can choose not to die.

    So, whatever you believe, Christ's sacrifice was His choice...and He made it because He loves us.

  • god is perfect and he did not create us to sin!! gos gave us free wills to choose ! you need to read your bible if you never have!! jesus was been so he could spread the word and then he gave his own life for all are sins !! that was a act of mercy because he didnt have to do it!! he asked god to take this cup from me but then in the same breathe said not by my will but yours be done!!! read it again!! god bless you
