[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one thatis  truly horrified by the human sacrifice theme that runs through the Bible?  God created us, didn't like how we turned out, created a perfect one of us, and then set him up as human sacrifice?  And that is supposed to be inspiring?  It makes absolutely no sense.

And souls?  That also makes no sense at all.  Dualism is something you are supposed to get over as you mature.  There can't be this many people out there that don't understand how the brain functions, there just can't.[/quote]
No, no, no. This is not Christian teaching. God did not [i]create[/i] a perfect one of us. God came down [i]Himself[/i], in the form of a man, to be the sacrifice for us so that we could live eternally with Him. Does this sound gruesome, or extreme? I suppose it does, but that is how serious our sin is. The Bible teaches the wages of sin is death. We sin, we die (eventually). This is why God came down Himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, to die that death so you don't have to. Those who say God is loving so he wouldn't allow us to go to Hell are missing the point. His love is demonstrated by Christ dying on the cross so that you do not have to die eternally. But your sin is a weighty, dire matter to God. It cannot just be brushed aside. God is love, and He is also holy. He will not allow unforgiven sin into Heaven, and He will not forgive those who reject His offer of forgiveness through Christ. Christ is God, not a created man.[/quote]
