Why did God sacrifice himself to himself to save you from himself?

You are right, it sounds stupid when it's interpeted that way.  Perhaps the preachers and priests are pulling a fast one eh?\n\noh, and three gods in one? what's that about?  father/son/holyghost????  where did the ghostie come from???????\n\nthe only explanation i can really give you is that most people simply listen to other people about who to follow blindly.  I read the bible, and I know that this stuff about praying to jesus is crap, jesus is not god, never was, and he would tell you so if he was here right now.\n\nJesus always admonished his followers to pray to his father, God, he never said "Pray to ME!"

So are you saying that since it says we should hate our own life that we should all commit suicide? Don't be shallow. God gave us an intelligent mind for a reason... to use it. Jesus is saying in Luke not to put anyone before God if you want to be a true follower of Christ. He meant anyone including your parents, spouses, children, and yes even yourself. If you don't want to be a follower of Christ then Jesus isn't talking to you. I only pray that one day you do realize just how sinful you are and how much you are in need of the love, peace, and forgiveness of God that can only be obtained through the blood of Jesus Christ.\n\ntosmith

Where is God when it hurts.\n\nThis is one of those awful situations, why do bad things happen, why does God allow sufferring? \n\nI don't exactly know the answer, but I do know that God wants you to rely on him to get through it, because he can bring healing and wholeness, I know this as first hand experience, I was going to walk away from God and not look back and he gently showed me he loved me and had a better plan. \n\nFaith is believing the what God has revealed trusting him, with out outside influence. \n\nTrust God he loves you and your friend who suicided. I am so sorry for your loss and that it still causes you pain.\n\nCast all your cares on God, for he cares for you. Allow him to heal you.\n\nYou are so special and God has a plan and purpose for your life.

Who cares what Christians or anybody else says, the truth  I know is  when I was going to commit suicide,  I shuck my fist up to heaven and cried out to a God that I knew nothing about, and God in my life changed my life. So you want to know about my God, he's my Father that loves me and wants me to talk to him daily to be able to keep me free from the torment that is in this world.His word promises me a sound mind and I cherish that.

Because he loved us and wants all mankind to be saved...\n\nOne day about 2,000 years ago God stepped out of heaven, came down to earth, and took the earthly human form of Jesus Christ. The reason that the Son of God took a human form is very beautifully stated in Hebrews 2:17. "Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people."\n\nHis love for each of us was indeed great because when the Son of God left heaven he gave up all his glory and all his power. No longer did he sit at the right hand of Almighty God. Instead of having the glory and honor of being the Son of God, he had voluntarily reduced himself to a mere mortal. Stepping out of paradise he left all that and instead took the earthly form of Jesus Christ. It is truly incredible but the Son of God allowed himself to be born into a world that he himself had created. That is why the term "the only begotten son of God" is used.\nBegotten simply means born of flesh.\n\nLuke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you; wherefore also the Holy One which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.\n\nIt's incredible but God is telling us that he loved us so much that he became one of us. And he did all this just for the privilege of welcoming you and I into heaven.\n1 John 4:10 "That God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through Him."\n\nJesus was an ambassador, a divine emissary from Almighty God himself. He had many objectives on his mission to earth, but the main purpose was twofold. First he was to tell the entire world about God the Father, and the second purpose is spelled out so very clearly in 1 Timothy 1:15 "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners".\n\nBut in accomplishing this second goal, Jesus was going to suffer and die. But before he died, he was going to have every single one of your sins and every single one of my sins placed upon his soul. With those sins in place, he then allowed himself to be horribly tortured and murdered.\n\nGiving up his existence as The Son of God, stepping out of heaven, taking the human form of Jesus Christ, and going through a horrible and painful death, was his main goal for coming here. For had God in the form of Jesus not paid your sin debt and my sin debt, then nothing else that Jesus did would have mattered very much because none of us would have ever had the chance of achieving eternal life and be able to spend eternity with him and his Father.\n2 Corinthians 5:21 "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God".\n\nTruly, it was Christ's obedience that canceled out Adam's disobedience.\n\nHaving our sins placed upon Jesus didn't make him sinful. He was still God and therefore was completely sinless. At the time of his crucifixion Jesus simply "carried" our sins; a sort of temporary stand in for our sins. There was a transfer of sins; from all of us, to him. This is why the wording of 2 Corinthians 5:21 is so very important. That verse says, "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Christ was sinless, but willingly accepted every single sin, from every single person, that was or would ever be committed.\n\nThis transfer of sins was unseen by everyone but God because as he watched his Son hanging there dying, he could also see all those many sins piling up on his Son. It makes no difference that you would not be born for another 2,000 years. The sins of every human being that ever lived, or was going to live, had their sins all transferred over to Jesus. Not one single sin, regardless of how small, was left unaccounted fo

You are the only one who can save your own self from hell. No one can pray you out of hell. You are the only one who can secure your own salvation through accepting Jesus as your personal savior. No one can do that for you. Once you are dead and you died lost and did not accept Jesus, you cannot be heard from the grave.\n\n Psalms 30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

First, all through the bible, it says God can and will, do whatever he wants, which includes forgiving. In no place in the bible, does it say you can not be forgiven for taking your own life, BUT, the bible states in [1 Corinthians 6:19,20], "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; [20] you were bought at a *price. Therefore honor God with your body.\n"-(*through Christ's dying on the cross for all mankind). \n\n  You're not alone, but be aware of how God looks at the broken hearted: [Psalm 51:17] "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."\nand here:\n[Isaiah 57:15 ] "For this is what the high and lofty One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite."\n\n  I look at it this way. Hopefully, when someone finds themself at this door, I hope they may believe that calling on the name of the Lord will save them as it says in [Acts 2:21].\n\n The bible says doing that, will save your life for the Holy Spirit inside, will create in us a new creation - [2 Corinthians 5:17] "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" and in [Ephesians 2:10] "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."\n\n  When the Holy Spirit rebuilds a person's mind, it redirects that persons attention similar to this: [Psalms 16] "[8] I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. [9] Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, [10] because you will not abandon me to the grave.."\n\nThis process begins to bring peace of mind to us once again.\n\nWe stay hopeful and in earnest in the future by remembering some of God's promises:\n[Hebrews 7:25] "He is able to save to the uttermost.."\n[Hebrews 13:5] Christ says "I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you"\n[1st John 4:4] Christ said "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world", speaking of the Holy Spirit sealed in us when we accept being born again, or leaving our old ways to take on Christ's ways.\n\nIt's worth it to just think about some of this before making that final commitment to end it.\n\n The following web site will read the bible to you for free: (you will need to download the free RealPlayer media player to listen)\nhttp://www.audio-bible.com/bible/contents.html

God gave us free will to make our own choices.Hitler had the same free will we all have.What he chose to do with it, was his free choice. I might guess that God was not liking what was happening, but had to allow it to happen.

I have seen a lot of young people try and commit suicide, and the last thing on there mind is God. Many believe that if you take your own life you wander around in an empty void unable to pass over, this is rubbish of course but it's what some preach to scare others. This is not something that God would approve, and you will find that he gets the blame when someone does take their life, but the blame must fall on us because we fail each other, why? because we live in a world of greed, a place where few have time for others, a place where some kill in the name of their God. We need to share our love for each other as well as God, we mush never let our faith leave us, because it could fall on anyone us. People don't want pity, sometimes it's just someone to talk to, as I said I know I have dealt with a number of young lads up the age of 18 you have tried to kill themselves most cases it's a cry for help, but who's listening????????\nLove & Peace

I often have the urge to kill myself. Life just doesn't seem like it's worth all the pain for the relatively small amount of temporary pleasure. The only thing that stops me is the knowledge that I will go to Hell if I take my own life. You are Muslim and you know this too. So when you feel like that, seek refuge with Allah fromt the Shaytaan and talk to Allah about your issues. Salam.

Maybe its something supernatural.. Don't know. But you need Jesus. Because he is the only way. We have sinned against almighty God, and deserve eternal punishment. When we turn away from sin, and give our lives to Christ, We will be saved. Also you will be freed from all these things you now face.

Because God has a cruel sense of humor and likes watching us strave, suffer, and die in torture. Makes life seem meaningless more by the day doesn't it? Though their theory seems to be. We make our lives what it is... (even though I don't see how we choose for other people to kill us, abuse us, or anything.)  Which I suppose means anything that comes your way... you can either Accept it and be hurt... or Deal with it, do something about, and Hope you come out above everything.

hell, because he/she has commited murder, and not gotten forgiveness. It states in the bible that murder is a really bad thing to do, and if u do it, u need to get forgiveness. If u kill yourself, u murder yourself, but can't ask for forgiveness.

God created us for Himself. God wants us to choose to love Him and worship Him.

Why do you want to die? You are God's perfect creation. He loves you. That's why He designed you the way you are. You are obsessed with hating yourself. Suicide is not an option. Do you know Jesus as your personal Savior? He loves all He created.  Do me a favor, hon, call 1-888-NEED-HIM. They can help you. I love you as Christ loves you. You are the apple of His eye. Death is forever and without Christ your doomed to hell without ever accepting Christ in your heart. I've been through some pretty bad things in my life and He's taken me through all of them. I have thin hair and I am so embarrassed sometimes that I don't have enough. But you know? As long as God loves me then nothing matters. Your other half is out there for you. Don't give up. Let's be friends. Email me sometime. K?

Because he needed to die to take your sins upon him and release you from them. His father sent him to die for you so he couldn't change that.

Dont kill yourself you are here for a reason.  Killing yourself is probably THE most selfish thing you can do.  You friends and family love you no matter what you may think.  And if for some strange reason they really dont, God loves you and has a plan & purpose for your life.
