And if jesus is the same being as god, then the crucifixion was god sacrificing himself...
to himself...
to satisfy a rule he created...
to forgive a flaw he designed.
God sacrificed his only son for your sins. But if Satan is the deceiver, tempter, and enemy behind the fall... why not eliminate the devil instead?
Why build a system where humanity pays the price, Jesus becomes the sacrifice, and evil stays in play?
