A point to ponder about Jesus/God
I mean no disrespect to Christians but God incarnate getting beat up and crucified is a lame sacrifice for the supposedly most powerful being ever. He would have had to let himself be captured and killed. And remember death to God is not what it is to us.
When Odin, Tyr and Prometheus made sacrifices there were consequences. Odin and Tyr permanently lost an eye and hand respectively. Prometheus was chained to a rock and had his liver pecked out of his body by an eagle every day. It was suppose to be for eternity but Hercules rescued him. Jesus walked away from his unscathed. On top of that none of these gods were ultimately powerful beings they were bound by universal laws unlike God. There are no consequences to God for his actions.Then there's the reason for the sacrifice. God created sin so his sacrifice wasn't even for us. We sin because he made us capable of it. It's not our fault if we do. At best it wouldn't be for our redemption it would be for his own. He made us capable of sin then punished us for it. He should have atoned for the mistreatment of his creations.
Anyway thanks for reading. This really isn't meant to be disrespectful to anyone's religion but a serious comment about the nature of sacrifices made by "divine" beings.
