[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would suggest you do an RCIA class if you want to really do this.

That said, ignore the PP about the Apostles Creed. It has the descended into hell line as does the Nicene Creed -- both are acceptable creeds.

But back to your question in order to understand why Jesus chose to die for our sins you need to understand the concepts of the [b]Old Testsment[/b], covenants and sacrifice in the time of Jesus-- all really lost in modern day society. All come together for Jesus' crucifixion. You should really read up on it because there is debate behind it and the history is fascinating.

Good luck on your journey. [/quote]

I don't disagree with a RCIA class, but studying the Old Testament will be more of a head scratcher than anything.  It's all over the place, written by many people,  and doesn't really teach morality lessons.

OP, I was raised Catholic--did every sacrament through confirmation.  It doesn't make a ton of sense.  I guess that's why it's faith.  I feel like it the parent who says "it's because I said so" vs. what does this really mean.  I never bought into transubstantiation either.  The masses where the priest says the lines of Pontius Pilate and the congregation says the lines of the crowd always scared and sadden me as a kid.  Maybe watch the Last Temptation of Christ.  That may help illuminate.[/quote]
