oliver Asked by toohightothinkofone about 1 month ago, 19 answers.

How come, if jesus was like a superhero, didnt he just fly away instead of being killed?

As I understand it:

We all inherited original sin because of Adam Eve eating from the tree of knowledge.

God created us human than judges us as sinners for not being perfect.

All of this doesn't have to be fair because God makes all the rules.

In spite of our stain of original sin and not being perfect God loves the heck out of us anyway so he nailed his son to a tree so we don't have to go to Hell but this only works if we believe it.

I can't imagine why I ever stopped believing this.

He did, but he had to die first to be resurrected. It's not much different than when superman *almost* died but is rescued just in time by Lex Luther's secretary, or when Lois actually does die, but superman makes time go backward to rescue her.

He knew God's plan was for him to die for other people's sin. he very well could have saved himself but he knew god's plan.

God knew the only way for us to have salvation was for the 'sacrificial lamb' to be slain. So he sent his son to be born a human and live a perfect life free of sin so that he could take upon himself all sins of all people and suffer and die for those sins. if he hadnt died for our sins, we would be doomed for hell with no chance at eternal life in heaven but Jesus paid the price for us!

yes.. I believe I've still got the facts a bit jumbled... you see,adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit, then made love.
god was mad.
though it says redundantly in the first few pages of the bible to be fruitful, and multiply...
so what he's really saying is.. however, not until I say ??
I just dont understand anymore.I see lost of double standards.its like he wanted us jump, but not until he says it(or else), but then thank him for killing his son, or nailing him to a tree as you so beautifully put it.. *CONFUSED*
excuse me for going against my catholic views.
why did I ever stop saying the rosary?
has it led me astray?
Im still standing by my statement of batman being cooler than jesus.

perhaps some of you should figur out whats going on for yourselves before advising other people.
the bottom line is god sent his son, who was fully god and fully human at the same time to die for our sins.

its too complicated for us to understand because if we could understand God then he really wouldnt be much of a God now would he?

Haha, I remember even at the age of like 6 being puzzled as to the logic of these stories, it doesn't make any sense.

he could have got off the cross right then and there. he wanted to save us from our sins though becuase he loves us so much. he died so that we could have a c hance to go to heaven.

***How come, if Jesus was like a superhero, didnt he just fly away instead of being killed?**

There was a plot to crucify Jesus but it did not succeed, Jesus did not die, but ascended to heaven. In the last days before the Day of Judgment, Jesus will return to this world and continue his message.

Jesus, son of Mary, was a MAN chosen by God to be a prophet and messenger to the children of Israel.
Jesus = a MAN, created by God, so don’t worship him instead of the Creator (Allah Almighty is far and above having a child or a partner in his divinity, so reject any belief that overexalts Jesus above what Allah wants him to be).
Jesus = God’s prophet, so accept his prophethood and believe in his message which is to worship God alone without any associate or partner.

**We all inherited original sin because of Adam Eve eating from the tree of knowledge.**

“And no bearer of burdens shall bear another burden” Quran(35,18)
Each person is responsible for his own deeds and therefore no need for anyone to sacrifice himself for mankind’s sins to get forgiveness.

Besides, when Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree, they realized their disobedience and repented, then God forgave them. So the concept of original sin is WRONG.

no. he could but in some way he couldn't. that's because it's written in the bible. God gave his only Son to die for our sins so that we won't have to.
