I have been thinking about something for a while... sort of mentioned it in another thread but didn't really formalise it.
In the bible it says that Jesus died for our sins... That God sent his "only son" down to earth where he died so that we can be saved.
Firstly I find myself asking if someone that is the son of God can/could actually die in the first place... Being the "son of God" meant he was already "born" before he ever entered the world... and due to being "raised" he was alive after "dying".
This would then lead to the understanding that it was simply Jesus' human form that was born on earth and died for our sins.
So here is the big question....
If you are the Son of God... and you have been around for countless ages in heaven, and you went to earth for a brief visit... stayed 33 years, got knocked off and then happily waltzed back into heaven...
Was it really that much of a sacrifice in the first place?
It would be like me saying "I shall send my only toe nail to be cut from my body and die to save you all... Lets worship my toe nail"
Considering God knows everything that will happen he knew his son wouldn't be truely dead and so sending him wasn't even a sacrifice at all...
Does someone have an explaination for this that actually stands up to some sort of logic and isn't filled with pre-recorded, religious, indoctrinated, brain-washed wordage?
