1 | Did Jesus have to die? | Bible general Archive 2 | Mommapbs | 113253 | ||
Hi Rowdy, I hope you get a chance to see the film andy maybe conisder taking someone with you who doesn't know the Truth. It is powerful and a wonderful tool to begin a dialogue. Although He came to die, I still wonder, "did He have to?" We read about His temptation and His anguish in the garden, so I ponder this possibility . . . but how thankful I am that Jesus came to DO the will of the Father and submitted Himself to it. My sins put Him on the cross, but He chose to stay there for me. The penalty for sin is death . . . without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. BTW, when you see the film I'd be interested to know what impacted you the most. For me, it was the repentant criminal. Blessings to you! mommapbs |

2 | Did Jesus have to die? | Bible general Archive 2 | Rowdy | 113545 | ||
I just this moment came back from seeing the movie with my wife and was compelled to post another thought to this thread. I kept thinking about your question, "Why did Jesus have to die such a horrible death?" Couldn't God have thought of some other way. I thought God could have sent Him to another time peiod of our planet's history, one that would have executed him far more painless, like this century in an electric chair or hanging. But no, our Lord died THE MOST HORRIBLE form of execution ever devised on this planet, one that took hours, sometimes days for men to die on a cross. Yes, I'm convinced that God literally had to send His Son to die for us...that was THE ONLY way we (you and I) could possibly meet God some day in Heaven. I do agree with you. It's a great movie and is very good powerful testimony from Mr. Gibson to those in the world that don't believe. We can only hope that they will study God's Word and any other historical document needed to conclusively seal this knowledge that God does want all mankind in Heaven. God bless and I appreciate your encouraging words to this Forum. |
