Hi Rooney9,
That is what is written in the Holy scriptures. It is not the
law of a country or man. It is the law of God and we are subject to
it. The Bible is infallible and inerrant in its account. By the
Bible here I am referring to the original Manuscripts (eg the
original Hebrew texts (O.T) and Greek Texts (N.T)). Further, if you
did some research, you will find that the resurrection of Christ
cannot be denied based on archaeological evidence and his ascension
is even written about in non-Christian secular historical
records.
In fact his empty tomb is still there in the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre in Jerusalem. And it is this same guy who rose from the
dead who validates and affirms the Scriptures.
God's law is law and he does not have to succumb his laws to our
human definition of logic and justice. HIS justice is supreme and
while he has all rights to condemn the entire world he did not. Out
of grace, he chose to come and die for us so that
we can be saved if we accept and repent. Its that simple and that
free - acknowledge that he has taken your punishment in your
place and confess your sins to him and you are there.
He is not asking us to do anything ridiculous (sacrifice our
children, become a recluse, live a perfect life without sin etc).
He is aking that we accept the punishment he has bore for us.
Imagine if you had a huge mortgage you cannot pay off and your
house is about to be possessed by the bank. This guy comes along,
pays off your mortgage in full and even leaves some money so you
can enjoy the rest of your life. The banks condition is that you
signed an acknoledgement that you are free of debt with no strings
attached. Would you sign it or question this guy's sense of
justice?? Would you tell him that you do not think it is fair
unless he immediately pays off the debts of everyone else you would
not accept??
We are in no position to judge God or apply our principles to
him we are accountable to him but he is not accountable to us. We
can only be thankful and appreciate whatever blessings he chooses
to shower upon us.
dude, think about this. let's say i am a computer guy. i write a
dota map with AI to play. i upload it. OOPS crap, players can
choose whether to play sentinels or scourge. even though i allowed
them the choice, they are not supposed to play scourge! hence i
shall blame the dota map for ALL time.
then i see, wah, the dota map is getting from bad to worse, i
shall use virtual reality to go into warcraft 3 as one of their
characters (let's choose Zeus! i like Zeus) and be both by
parthanogenesis and tell the characters to REPENT, for the end is
near. i shall then virtually die for them in the game and go to the
altar of kings to resurrect myself, thus showing myself that i am
superior to them.
btw, virgin birth is not specific to jesus christ. egyptian and
hindu gods have been using that story way before abrahamic faiths.
resurrection from the dead isn't new, research why a funeral is
often called a "wake".
also, your story is flawed. this should be the full story.
imagine you are staying in your own house. a man comes along and
says that "hey, the house you are living in is mine. do nothing and
you will not have to pay anything and be able to be still living in
the house, but you will burn in the pits of hell for all time! or
you could pay me by worshipping the ground i walk on, and join me
in heaven after you die." would you believe in such a person, or
chase him out for being a lunatic?
