How should God have reconciled the world to Himself if not through His Son?In any case, the point remains that for someone who hates human sacrifice it seems odd base a religion on an it. Either in part through a last second reprieve or in whole through a sacrifice of his son.

In your view. Just curious.
Please understand this is all hypothetical to me since I lack belief in Gods.How should God have reconciled the world to Himself if not through His Son?

That is my understanding, yes. However, he did call on Abraham to perform a sacrifice of Issac did he not?
Very honest of you. I'm glad to fill you in.I wouldn't know.
Then you believe your God commanded his follower to commit abominations in his name and only stopped it at the last second?
The Christians, of course, believe he performed a human sacrifice of his only son.

OK. Thank you for the clarification. I have heard from others that they felt Abraham had to be ready to go through with the sacrifice in order to show his willingness to bow to God. Ordering a human sacrifice to show you don't want human sacrifice seems odd to me but I am a mere mortal.HaShem stayed his hand. We believe it was ordered to demonstrate Abraham's faith in G-d, and he knew G-d would intervine. We also believe this was done in order to clearly show he did not want human sacrifice which was practiced widely at the time.
Very honest of you. I'm glad to fill you in.
Read the above.
This is one of the reasons Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah.
Your characterization of Issac is incorrect, and the latter I can't speak about other then from a jewish perspective.
An interesting perspective. I will note many Christians claim Christianity is a free gift. Just food for thought.The problem that I notice with both of you is that, in both cases, your religion has no weight to it. That which costs nothing is worth nothing.
Take that or reject it as you will. It's just an observation.

I believe pregnant woman should be protected. I never said otherwise.Except for pregnant women apparently.
From my perspective, as soon as someone is conceived, they should be protected.A not-yet existing “person” has rights?
Nice to see that you’re anti-capital-punishment.
It cost His life.Under that logic, Jesus’s virgin sacrifice is worth nothing because it did cost nothing. Under the belief that Jesus is eternal his death and sacrifice is essentially nothing at all.
Yes, one can see why you are not Christian.Costs nothing is worth nothing?

The Bible claims he doesn’t stay dead. Death’s sting comes from its permanence but Jesus allegedly walks out on that part of the deal. If he were to actually suffer eternal death in our place, he should still be dead. Living forever makes him losing one weekend for our sins meaningless because he has infinite weekends. What did he actually give up? A bad weekend for our sins, I know that doesn’t compel people to empty their wallets in the offering plate but that is the reality of the situation when you take a step back and look at what the Bible claims went down.
I’d argue that Jorge Luis Borges was correct when he posits in “Tres versioned de Judas” that Judas suffers much more than Jesus does. One afternoon on the cross versus shame and revulsion for the rest of history.
Temporarily.It cost His life.
That is NOT true.Democrats supported Roe, which was not "legal at all stages".
It cost His life.
Just for the record
I am fine
with
Arizona's law
It's the best there is in this country
Yes, one can see why you are not Christian.
You are wrong.That is NOT true.
When Roe was around, it was legal to the 9th month in some states, if you could find a doctor willing to do it. Most doctors did not/do not. Doctors tend to lean pro life.
A lot of people thought there were restrictions w/ Roe but there were not. It's just that most states did not have a doctor to do them at that late stage.
Repeating yourself over and over while ignoring what the other person is saying is indicative the conversation is a waste of time. You advocate for policies that kill women, end of story.I believe pregnant woman should be protected. I never said otherwise.
