But two things have always bugged me in his story.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son.”
Imagine this logic for any human being.
“For Craig so loved Texas, that he gave the life of his son to save it.”
Someone sacrificing their kid is supposed to be admirable? I sometimes wonder if part of the reason the trinity exists is just so god can get more credit for the crucifixion, since that makes it so he also sacrificed himself.
The Resurrection
Imagine if, in a show of capitalist protest, a person burned their entire life savings of $1m. A definite sacrifice.
But how much of a sacrifice would it be if that person knew that three days later, they were gonna win a million dollars anyway?
Jesus coming back from the dead all but nullifies the sacrifice via crucifixion. Yes, he suffered. Which is why I’m saying it doesn’t fully nullify it. But the dying was a crucial part. And I know…it’s part of the prophecy, so it had to be written that way, but then the prophecy also sucks.
