Why Did Jesus Have To Suffer And Die?\n \nTwo primary qualities of God help us understand why Jesus Christ had to suffer and die in order to redeem mankind. First, God is righteous. Thus His justice demands that a penalty for sin be paid. As Kenyon writes:\n\nGod cannot ignore the fact of man’s hideous transgression. That transgression must be punished, and if man is restored to God, it must be upon grounds that will not pauperize man nor rob him of his self respect; but it must be upon legal grounds that will perfectly justify man in the sight of God... \n\nSecond, God is love. Thus, in His grace and mercy, He decreed that the penalty for sin could be paid by a substitute, providing that the substitute be sinless. God wanted, and mankind needed, a man who:\n\n...met the demands, first, of the heart of Deity for a perfect human who would do His will; second, He met the demands of fallen man in that as a man He met the Devil and conquered him in honorable open combat. [2]\n\nBecause of the magnitude of Adam’s sin and its reverberating ramifications, only the death penalty would satisfy true justice. Hebrews 9:22 says that “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [of sin].” In the Old Testament, it was the death of unblemished “stand-in” lambs and other animals that God allowed to temporarily cover His people’s sins (Hebrews 10:1-14). These sacrifices were foreshadows, or types, of the coming Redeemer, Jesus Christ. He is the true “Lamb of God” whose blood was shed to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29).\n\nHebrews 9:14\nHow much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!\n\nAs we have stated, Jesus Christ was the only man who was “without spot or blemish,” both genetically and behaviorally. As such, only He could qualify to offer His life as the payment for the sin and sins of mankind. The suffering and death of Jesus Christ was part of God’s plan to make available salvation to all mankind.\n\nHebrews 9:27-28\n(27) Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,\n(28) So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.\n\nWhat the blood of bulls and goats could do only temporarily for Israel in the Old Testament, the blood of Jesus has done once and for all for everyone who believes in Him. He bore our sins in his own body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). By His freedom of will He gave up His life for us. He willingly endured the pain of the cross and death for all men. We must understand, however, that it was not God who was responsible for Jesus’ death. Note the following verses:\n\n1 Corinthians 2:7-8\n(7) No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.\n(8) None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.\n\nThe “rulers of this age” are Satan and his evil-spirit sidekicks (the disobedient angels that were cast down to earth with him). God’s Word plainly says that it is the Devil who was responsible for killing Jesus Christ.\n\nOnce the dominion of the world was given to Satan, and mankind was ruined by sin, God has had to ask people to step into harm’s way so that His redemptive purposes could be accomplished. Jesus Christ is the chief example of this, and there are many others (see Hebrews 11). Jesus suffered so that those who believe on Him can one day have peace and joy forever, and a taste of it even in this life. In Jesus, we see the epitome of the redemptive value of suffering, a subject we will discuss later.\n\nHebrews 5:7-9 (Moffatt)\nIn the days of his flesh, with bitter cries and tears, he offered prayers and supplications to Him who

I don't really see a question here, but yes you are right. What better way to die than for something that you beleive gave you life and can offer you ever lasting peace. People take their God very seriously.

right on the money dude.\nThe only problem is that only a very few sees things as we do, they hang on to this hope that somenody dead for 2000 years will somehow come and "save" them ( mind you he couldn't SAVE himself even)

I completely agree. Afterlife was just invented to help comfort people. Death is the most feared thing aside from public speaking. I am looking forward to nothingness what’s the big deal

the purpose of human life hmmm..even i wonder that...well acc. to our philosophy there are 8400000 species of living forms on earth...of which only the human form has the ability to perform an action or "karma" so we have been given this chance to liberate our souls or thoughts whatever u may call it "aham" or "I".... to get rid from the cycle of birth and rebirth ...that's the purpose...how we got here....coz the universe if u look at it as a single entity...it decided somehow to divide and keep dividing...that's how we were born....when we die nothing great really happens except that it depends on ur actions and the extent to which u have reined in or let loose ur thoughts...it really depends on "U" ...death is just a door to another realm of existence....is there a god...mmmmm no...and yes....a god in the physical sense no ... and god as in the whole universe (including YOU) as a single entity ...that's god...hip hop is good at times for me :) well neither the 50 cents nor the game for me...i'm indian :) before we were born .... we were souls fighting with other souls to grab that oppurtunity of human birth when the seed was laid....the universe is infinte ...no one knows the size ....not even god.....something like ...do u know how good can u be????....:) \n\nhope this answers at least some of ur doubts...

good, its not like you will need them once you are dead. You still get to be buried or cremated and no one can tell the difference. One person can help save many people.

All and none are right. The answer depends on the religion of the person you ask. Ask a Christian, and he'll say you can't get to heaven without Jesus. Ask a Muslim, and he'll tell you that it's honorable to die in the service of your superiors. Ask an atheist, and he'll most likely blame religion for every evil act humanity ever committed.

Unrelenting pain and misery is no gift. \n\nPeople have the right to determine when life should end. After all, nobody denies that courage on the battlefield, or death while saving the lives of others, is worthy of merit in the eyes of man and of man's God. Death is a part of life and living. Nobody should be condemned to pain, dependency and misery. On the other hand, nobody but the person concerned has any right to decide. \n\nAnd that is why every state in the USA and many jurisdictions abroad have legal provisions for living wills and health care proxies. Everybody should have one -- even if it is to say that "my life shall be preserved at all costs, so long as there is somebody, some insurance company or some government, prepared and willing to pay for my hospitalization and my doctors' bills.\n\nWhat should happen in a country like the USA where health care and paying for it are private matters is beyond the scope of this Y! Answer. In Canada, and here in Europe at least, making a choice to live does not, in the absence of employer-paid private insurance, condemn one's family to poverty and bankruptcy

No, if there is any chance that I could die no money in the world would be worth it.\nIf you are dead there really isnt any fun in having money.

I get your point (I think).\nWhat you mean is, why must the whole thing be so complicated (life).\nWhy can't we just die and stay that way? Why must we go through all this heaven and hell drama, right?\n\nFrankly speaking, I don't know. But I believe if you want things that way, you will get it. Just live life a good person and always live life with compassion and love, and live life to be a better person every step of the way.\nAt least, when you die, you will know you don't regret anything, or having anyone's blood/sin/sorrow on your hands.\n\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

I testify to you that the following words are TRUE and you can find out for yourself by asking God in the name of Jesus Christ. having faith and real intent.\n\nDeath is not the end. Death is really a beginning—another step forward in Heavenly Father’s plan for His children. \nSomeday, like everyone else, your life on Earth will end and your physical body will die. But your spirit will not die. At the time of physical death, your spirit will go to the spirit world, where you will continue to learn and progress. \n\nDeath is a necessary step in your progression, just as your birth was. Sometime after your death, your spirit and your body will be reunited—never to be separated again. This is called resurrection, and it was made possible by the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

On the conservative side it would cost a minimum of $700 billion dollars taking into account death benefits and health care cost. If you wish to include the lucky ones who escape from being maimed or dead then the above amount I cited is but peanuts.

Our soul starts its journey from chemicals, evolves in plants and animals and reaches Human beings. It has to undergo innumerable sufferings and pains and learn billions of lesson to prgoress towards its next evolutionary stage i.e. divinity.\n\nAnd one life is not enough for all these lessons. That also is the reason behind differnt type of peoples..why some are born rich, some are born poor, some idiots some intelligence. Even two children of the same parents, in the same environment do not progress alike... Reincarnation is the answer !!\n\nWhen we die, we die with a mental state, where we have some unfulfilled desires...some subtle some gross. The soul after death passes to some astral worlds where it prepares for the next birth, where it can continue its progress towards its evolution (mental evo..not physical)...these astral planes' working is quite similar to hells and heavens mentioned by religions...but the main purpose of these astral planes is not to punish or reward but to work out our desires and prepare us for our next birth\n\nHell and heaven are tools of religions to keep uncivilised human into some check... for a little evolved minds it is astral planes for purging or working the subtle desires
