Is there any other way?

[CTZonEdit]

Some people seem to think that the God of the Bible is unbelievable and outrageous, in that He sacrificed His own Son.

So just how would you have God or a god deal with the issue of sin, and remain loving, just, righteous and true if this is so repulsive or unbelievable?

They don't want to face up to how vile and repulsive we, as humans, are.

How could sin be paid without reflecting the ugliness of what it is? How could there be any sin tainted human pay for it?

I think us as mere humans can not answer that question. Everything we would say would be a flaw. God is perfect and his ideas, actions, and everything is perfect. There just was not another way and the gifts from God we accept are truely Grand in there nature. Nothing could ever replace them.

[CTZonEdit]

The point is that all other religions allow man to take part in his own salvation, by doing good works or deeds or enlightning self. Elevating self.

If God created man in a perfect state, and man decided to fall, there is no other way to re-establish perfection without God intervening and allowing a way for man to reconcile.

Fallen man cannot reconcile to a perfect God on his own. What does a fallen man have to offer God?

[Brandli5]

I do not see humans as having anything to offer God, fallen or not. We even get help from the angels when we worship the lord. THey infact are there to help us Praise and worship.

Man is made so we can recieve God's Blessings if we open our hearts and accept. THat is the glory of God, he gives not takes.

IF we think he has taken something from us, then we are mistaken. WE do it all our selves, we sin.

[CoreIssue]

I believe we fulfill God's desire to love and share with others.

Of course, that means we are receiving, not giving.
