Is it egotistical to think that a God would die for you?

wait.. have I missed something?is God dead?

So, God, the eternal, all powerful, superbeing, sacrificed his earthly avatar (Jesus), who had to quit his transient, earthly existance to return to heaven to continue to live for all eternity."Sacrifice"? doesn't sound like it.
"die"? ummm... nope.

Damn! is there a railing somewhere i can leave flowers/tie a teddybear to?

Well of course I'm trying to imagine it from a god perspective..
How else do I determine whether or not what is alleged to have happened might affect a god?
Incidentally you are doing the same by claiming that to suffer human frailty would be sacrificial for god.My point stands though, for an eternal all powerful being, 30-odd years is a negligible timeframe to experience pain. no, or negligible sacrifice involved and certainly not death in any meaningful sense.

So.. is God the son, Jesus, dead? or did he ascend into heaven to sit at the right hand of the father? in which case he is alive?did he cease to exist at any point? or was he always alive in some eternal otherworldly sense?If he suffered a bit of a beating, crucifixion, died for 3 days and then came back and continued with his eternal existance, it wasn't really a "death" was it, or much of a sacrifice.

so his earthly "death" was no kind of sacrifice in the grand scheme of things. Seems to me no more than a kid playing a computer game, and their avatar "dies" in the game, but the person/controller does not, they can simply restart as and when required. oh.. wait... so he did die? Except as you've said above.. he didn't die.. did he? only his temporary, human host did. god/jesus/whatever remained very much alive, just not on earth. so scripture is true because scripture says so... don't you ever see the problem with that?The whole idea of jesus' death being a sacrifice just doesn't wash. (Before we even attempt the logical gymnastics required to explain how this supposed act therefore allows believers entry to the afterlife.)... oh wait.. what's that? My puny mind couldn't understand? so I should just accept scripture as truth? anything else I should just accept?

so.. not really much of a sacrifice for an eternal being is it?

unless of course they are guided by the holy spirit to write the inerrant word of god...
Then these "incidentals" start to make a few holes in the substance of your text.ABE: It does not add to the credibility of your claim that the bible is an INERRANT, divinely inspired text though.. does it? you can't have it both ways. Either the bible is inerrant truth and the word of god and therefore should not contradict itself, or, it is is the fallible word of fallible men and therefore cannot be taken as truth. pick a side and stick with it.Edited by Heathen, : No reason given.Edited by Heathen, : spelling

And you already have your mind made up that god is real. on what basis?I come from the stand point that there is no god until i see evidence to the contrary, so, yes. My mind, at the moment, is made up, there is no evidence, not one single shred of evidence for the existence of god so I work on the premise there is no god. Got anything that will change my mind?? anything at all?Scripture has been shown to be misguided, inaccurate, misleading and frankly ridiculous. Current [scientific] knowledge debunks much of what is contained therein.

I'm sensing a real shift towards fundamentalism in your posts, you're sounding/reading more like Faith every day
