What did Jesus sacrifice?

This concept have bothered me as well, but the truth is there is no eternal condemnation.\n\n(edit)\nI have done some research on this subject and have come to the conclusion that well...Judaism(ask any Jew) do not believe in hell, and they do not believe that a none Jew will not be saved. Why would Jesus be called a saviour if he brought more suffering to the world(hell)?  Jesus died for all to be saved! Not one soul will perish. Jesus died so that all will live an eternal life with "love", with "God".\n\nThis is my belief and some other Gnostics too, but it comes from above. Many followers of "Satan" will scare you with hell and try steal "love" from you, but remember always: God is love and who ever dwells in love dwells in God and God in them.\n\nSo many of the "christians" believe in mythology rather than in God. Did any great prophet know literature? No, they knew God. Where is God?\n\nLuke 17:20-21\nJesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."\n\n\n\n\nThe crucifixion was but a physical representation of what was happening spirituality.

It was a way to sacrifice, a way to be more like Christ and remind us of his sacrifice he made.

God knew that Jesus would die for our sins, as well as Jesus knowing that he would die for our sins. As Jesus stated in the Garden...\n\nJesus prays: "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. . ." \n\nHe was speaking of the 4th cup of the passover meal, which he had not drank from the passover meal (which Christians refer to as the last supper), knowing full well what lay in store for him, only after He had fulfilled Scripture when he said on the Cross "it is finished" did he drink of the fruit of the vine again which was the 4th Cup of the Jewish Passover meal.

no way. he refused all the devil asked him Jesus knew he had power over satan. he paid the price of sin that God demanded   the blood of a pure sacrifice.

It was part of God's plan to set in motion the sacrifice of his son as he promised.  People talk about how God gave us freewill, he didn't.  We are all his puppets.  Therefore we cannot be held accountable for our actions

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?\nJesus? Christianity? .\n\nYour opinions only, no parroting or C&P from a Bible.\n\n\nIf Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.\nGods do not die? Do they?\n\nIf Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed? \n\nIf Jesus died for our sins, he should be dead,dead, dead!

It was the plan all along. Jesus knew He would be offered as a sacrifice for us, He knew He would have to defeat death in order to grant us everlasting life.

He died so we wouldn't face eternal damnation for our sins. He was a sinless being who accpted his fate so that the rest of man could have everlasting life. What a sacrifice, I appreciate it every day.

What does one question have to do with the other?  Jesus laid down His life willing for our sins.  The mortal body of Jesus did die on the cross, yet the Spirit of the one true God was never corrupted or died.  Check the book of John.

He tried to tempt Jesus into worshipping him and renounce God. Jesus got angry and told him off.

I've always been of the opinion that Jesus's story and sacrifice are far more poignant if he doesn't rise from the dead to become Lord of the Earth.  In the same way, following Jesus's commandments without the expectation of a reward in heaven, but rather because they are good and worthy in their own right, seems much more truly Christian.

I believe he preferred the skin bones and the parts that humans could not digest... hm-mm go figure that... \n\n\nActually, there is no documented case of when "God" preferred one over the other. \n\nIn general what one sacrificed to "God" was 10% of what one had made. The sacrifice was made in thanksgiving and also it was a request for a more bountiful year. It was the human servants who changed what was needed. No longer was it the bone, skin, blood of the animals but instead it became cloth, gold, and incense. Later this became money.

From the time that Cain and Abel made the first sacrifice to God, Jews, including Noah and Abraham, made animal sacrifices to God in many places.\n\nWhen the Jews received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, one of the new laws stipulated that Jews were no longer allowed to bring sacrifices to God just anywhere. \n\nThe Torah says, "You may not worship God in such a manner. This you may do only on the site that God will choose from among all your tribes to place His Name there. You must seek His Presence, and you must go there. You will bring there your elevated offerings, your eaten sacrifices, your tithes, your hand-delivered elevated gifts, your general and specific pledges, the first born of your cattle and flocks...." (Deut. 12:4-6). \n\nFurthermore, "You will not do then what we do here now, where each person does as he sees fit.\nFor you have not yet come to the resting place and to the inheritance which the Lord your God gives you. But when you traverse the Jordan and you settle the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, and when He gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety, then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause His Name to dwell there. There you must bring all that I command you, your burnt elevated offerings, your eaten sacrirfices, your tithes, your elevated gifts, and all your choice pledges that you might vow to the Lord." (Deut 12:8-11). \n\nThe Torah continues: "Watch yourself! Lest you bring your burnt elevated offerings in any place you see fit. Only in the place that the Lord will choose, somewhere from among your tribes, there shall your bring your burnt elevated offerings, and there you must do all that I command you concerning this." (Deut 12:13-14) \n\nThus, once King Solomon completed and dedicated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, animal sacrifices were offered only in the Temple. It would be a sin to offer sacrifices in any other place. And once the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE, no more animal sacrifices were offered.\n\nI know that christians used to burn witches and persecute jews and muslims...but I don't think they burn witches anymore.

Jesus died for our sins

The myth goes that Jesus gave his life to assume the burden of our sins. The myth is, of course, a load of codswallup. \n\nHow does the crucifixion count as an appropriate sacrifice? Quite simply answered, the correct response is; "It doesn't."\n\nJesus spent a few hours, maybe a day, in agonizing pain; but it was no greater pain than millions of others have suffered. In fact many people have suffered greater agony for more extended periods of time virtually every day since the dawn of Man. \n\nIf Jesus really is God (or the son thereof), then He knew exactly what was happening, and exactly how long it would last. There was nothing about the event for which he was unprepared to deal with on a physical, psychological, or emotional level. If there WAS something he was unprepared for, then he could clearly not be God, or the son of God.\n\nWhen it was done, He supposedly ascended to heaven and became the all-powerful ruler of the universe. This is infinitely greater compensation than even the faithful will receive, and infinitely less torture that the damned will receive.\n\n-SD-

its all metaphors. Jesus used metaphors so dont look for literal meanings

God set the price - long before Adam and Eve sinned.\n\nWhy a price? Why sacrifice? That is what I will ask Him first thing after I settle in Heaven. \n\nFor now I am thankful He did pay the price He Himself set and we can freely get to Him.
