Christians! Was it not possible for God to offer us redemption and salvation without having to torture his son?

Jesus had to pay for his sins too .

Isiah Chapter 53 is evidence otherwise. c.f. 1 Peter 1:18-19.

No imperfect man can pay for the sins of others. (Psalm 49:7, 8) Unlike us, Jesus was perfect. So he did not need to die for his sins-he committed any. Instead, Jesus died for the sins of others. God expressed extraordinary love for mankind by sending his Son to die for us. Jesus also showed love for us by obeying his Father and giving his life for our sins.-John 3:16; Romans 5:18, 19.

The Lamb of God had to fulfill all scriptural prophesies about him.

1. He would be born of a Virgin. (Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:18).

2. He would be of the tribe of Judah. (Genesis 49:10 and Luke 3:23, 33).

3. He would be of King David's seed. (Jeremiah 23:5 and Luke 3:23, 31).

4. He would be born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2 and Matthew 2:1).

5. He would be a prophet. (Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and Matthew 21:11).

6. He would teach with parables. (Psalms 78:2 and Matthew 13:34).

7. He would be preceded by a messenger. (Isaiah 40:3, Malachi 3:1, and Matthew 3:1-2).

8. He would enter Jerusalem on a colt. (Zechariah 9:9 and Luke 19:35-37).

9. He would be betrayed by a friend. (Psalms 41:9 and Matthew 26:47-50).

10. He would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. (Zechariah 11:12 and Matthew 26:15).

11. He would be forsaken by His disciples. (Zechariah 13:7 and Mark 14:50).

12. The money would be thrown in the temple and used to buy the potter's field. (Zechariah 11:13 and Matthew 27:5-7).

13. He would be accused by false witnesses. (Psalms 35:11 and Matthew 26:59-60).

14. He would be silent before His accusers. (Isaiah 53:7 and Matthew 27:12-14).

15. He would be beaten by his enemies. (Isaiah 50:6, 53:5, and Matthew 27:26).

16. He would be spit upon and beaten. (Isaiah 50:6 and Matthew 27:30).

17. He would be struck in the head with a rod. (Micah 5:1 and Matthew 27:30).

18. He would be mocked. (Psalms 22:7-8 and Matthew 27:29, 31).

19. His hands and feet would be pierced. (Psalms 22:16, Luke 23:33, and John 20:25).

Note: this was predicted hundreds of years before crucifixion was invented.

20. Men would gamble for His clothing. (Psalms 22:18 and John 19:23-24).

21. He would intercede in prayer for His transgressors. (Isaiah 53:12 and Luke 23:34).

22. He would suffer thirst. (Psalms 22:15 and John 19:28).

23. He would be offered gall and water. (Psalms 69:21 and Matthew 27:34).

24. He would cry, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me!" (Psalms 22:1 and Matthew 27:46).

25. He would be cut down in His prime. (Psalms 89:45 and 102:23-24).

26. None of His bones would be broken (Exodus 12:46, Psalms 34:20, and John 19:32-33).

27. They would look upon Him whom they had pierced. (Zechariah 12:10 and John 19:34).

28. He would be executed with thieves. (Isaiah 53:12 and Matthew 27:38).

29. He would be buried in a rich man's tomb. (Isaiah 53:9 and Matthew 27:57-60).

Jesus had to be a innocent, sin-free man, murdered and witnessed by hundreds. THEN, he had to rise from the dead to complete his mission of bringing salvation from sin and death to mankind.

Did Jesus have to die? Yes, in order to be resurrected and ascend into heaven. Yet a close look at Scripture reveals that the Resurrection is more than that! As Paul makes it clear, if Jesus didn’t rise from the dead “our faith would be in vain” (1 Cor 15:14).

Correct. God gave us law and taught us about justice. What kind of God would he be if he taught us one thing and did another? A sacrifice was needed and only an innocent man could fulfill the law. Jesus was the only one.

Create a universe for us all, and then you'll have some standing to present a better plan of salvation.

Under Mosaic Law there has to be a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin which God to gave to his People.

NO IT DOES NOT SHOW HE IS LIMITED. IT SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH HE AND JESUS LOVES US. WHO ARE YOU WILLING TO DIE FOR?

His Son?

Christians state Jesus WAS God, so the question is

"Was it not possible for God to offer us redemption and salvation without having to torture himself to death? And if Jesus was God, when he died, who brought him back to life if God was dead??"
