Why did Jesus have to die the way he did?

[Mark Dohle]

 

[crossnote]

What we don't see is the Father's hand and plan in the death of Christ...

Acts 4:27-28 (KJV) For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. (Act 2 :23)

Isaiah 53:10 (KJV) Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

 

[Mathetes66]

Hundreds of prophecies needed to be fulfilled that God who cannot lie, promised beforehand would happen just as He said they would, at the time He determined & in the way He orchestrated things.

The mystery of godliness...the mystery of the incarnation...the mystery of the church...revealed in all its glory & manifestation.

Why did Jesus have to die the way he did?

So his death would never be forgotten.

God chose blood from the original sin by Adam as the method of payment. Since God is God and chose blood then that is the way it will be.

I'll get to find out why on Sunday (I gave up YouTube for Lent)

Heb 9:22-28 In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. That is why the Tabernacle and everything in it, which were copies of things in heaven, had to be purified by the blood of animals. But the real things in heaven had to be purified with far better sacrifices than the blood of animals.

For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God. Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.

"He awakened opposition." It was barbaric times.

[Mark Dohle]

Are you looking for a theological answer, or an answer to the question of suffering?

Both, though it is faith that seeks deeper understanding, knowing that it is a mystery that keeps drawing me deeper in.

peace

Definition of a Fellowship Post

It is not:
It is not debate.
It is not apologetics.
It is not answering questions related to the beliefs of the group.
It is not teaching in any way on any issue


It is:
Essentially Fellowship is defined as a discussion of topics of association, of companionship - i.e. discussions of things like friends, family, work..... these are fellowship posts. And posts that genuinely offer friendship would certainly be described as fellowship.

Remember that the beliefs of a group can be wide. You may think a social issue is not part of their beliefs but it may, to them, be inseparable and integral to their beliefs.
