Inquisitor Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 The Theory behind Crucifiction During Easter, many people, both religious and atheist, pondered why Jesus had to be crucified. Here is the answer, without any mystical mumbo jumbo, which you would get if you asked a common preacher. It is the Theory of Crucifiction and it goes thusly: 1.The Ten Commandments are a fundamental natura law. Just like gravity, the Divine Laws work wether you believe in them or not. They are, in fact, just like the law of Karma. You reap what you sow. 2.The punisment for breaking Ten Commandments is death. Not immediate death, though. Rather, it just means that if you die a 'sinner' you really die, that is, you stop existing completely. 3.If you manage to live by the Ten Commandments, you get to heaven. When you die, your brain states are copied to an angelic, undying body. So, even though your body dies, you, as a person, will live forever in your new angelic body. All this is in the Bible, I kid you not. 4.Unfortunately, not many people managed NOT to break the Divine Law. Even though the ten laws are quite easy. Consequently, Heaven was very quiet place, having only Lao Tzu and some buddhist monks in it! So, in effort to do something about it, God sends upon earth His son, Jesus. 5.Mission of Jesus: He has to live a live of a pure saint, and take upon himself all the sins of humans, past, present and future. And then he will be punished for our sins as if they were his own. 6.Jesus is beaten up, flogged, kicked and beaten up some more. He is then put to the most painful death of that time. He is nailed to a cross and left there till he is well and truly dead. This ordeal he had to go through because a) only thusly could he make up for all the sins of all humankind and b) the death had to be very clear, visible and symbolic so that even stupid people could get the point. 7.Mission accomplished. Jesus took our sins as his own and he has died for our sins. We, if we choose to do so, can now be free of our sins and can get to heaven and eternal life. How? Simply believing in Jesus and the power of His crucifiction. Now, if we own up our sins so Jesus, he takes them unto himself! 8.God inspects the life of Jesus. He finds he has done no sins, and so God resurrects Jesus and gives him eternal life, just like He would give to any other non sinner. This may seem to us the least important part, but note this: If Jesus had done a single sin himself when he was among us, he would have died, really died as a result. So God took a really big risk: His only son Jesus really could have died completely when he was fulfilling his mission. His only son. Yet God took the risk, and so did Jesus. Just imagine how much they must love us to have done so! So there it is. That is why Jesus went to the cross. It was the sole point of his life upon earth. Sorted! But why oh why did not Jesus appear earlier??? Why three thousand years of people dying because they could not foolow the ten commandments??? Simple... It was the ultimate Bad Cop, Good Cop routine! By being unforgiving, God has made us run to Jesus, who is the forgiving one, but only if we own up our sins!!!
lucaspa Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Yeah, this is discussing a theological position within Christianity. It's not the only theological theory about the crucifixion and resurrection, either. Inquisitor, you need to take this to a Christianity forum somewhere so you can have an appropriate theological discussion about it.
