It is not cheap to offer to pay a mans debt. It is honorable, if you have the resources, to do so.
But surely God has the "Resources" to save all of mankind? but he apparently doesn't do this? (unbaptised babies, non believers etc etc.)
is this dishonourable?
But mainly I take issue that Jesus death was any kind of "sacrifice" at all.
-God/Jesus is an eternal being. So bringing and end to 27 years of human existance is negligible.
-Jesus ascended in to heaven to be seated at the right hand of the father. A good thing, right?
So where was the sacrifice? Jesus didn't "Die" in an eternal sense. more like his visit to earth was shorter than it might have been.
His temporary fleshy body experienced some pain, sure, but as an eternal, spiritual being that barely deserves mention.
less than a pinprick to your finger in your lifetime.
