his death created the christian religion which is a wide opened door to lead us to spiritual life rather than spiritual death.
Do we??
Yes human beings still die regardless if they are saved or not.
These bodies die, but that is not the end of us, is it?
No, so when scripture says the wages of sin are death, it's not talking about the death of our mortal bodies is it?
It's talking about all of the death consequences of sin, both physical and spiritual death.
Sin isn't the cause of physical death.
The wages of sin...is death.Why did Jesus have to die? This is the question posed. Most of us will come back with a programmed response, but who among us have deeply studied this question? I think this question deserves a measured and studied response. If your response is "to save us", please feel free to elaborate specifically what His death is saving us from and how it accomplished that purpose.
Sure it is. Read the Genesis account. Sin caused spiritual death, and spiritual death made necessary physical death. (Gen. 3:22-24, 6:3)

Nothing in the Genesis account shows physical death was a result of his sin in fact since he died the day he sinned we know physical death was not the death promised to him to happen that same day. There was no "you will die that day, then you will die hundreds of years later also" as part of his punishment.
Physical death is purely a result of being created mortal. Any human will die whether they are sinless or they have sinned or sinned and were forgiven.
They died spiritually in the day that they ate, and physically many years later.
Or do you think God was wrong when He declared that if not barred from the tree of life man would live forever??
Yes but they only died physically because they were mortal.
That proves that Adam was never immortal. He had a chance to become immortal but God blocked that from happening. This whole idea that Adam was immortal and then lost immortality is not in the bible. It's all based on the misunderstanding that his sin caused him to become mortal then eventually die when in fact he was mortal from the very beginning and could only become mortal if he ate from the tree of life but he choose the other tree.
We could not die right for our own sins. But Jesus did our dying humbly and obediently and "as a sweet-smelling aroma." (in Ephesians 5:2) So, Jesus was sweet about it, pleasing our Father to forgive us and reconcile with us.Why did Jesus have to die?
I think you could be right >I believe God wanted to understand the entire human condition.
Without becoming one of us he could not feel what we feel.

A God with limitations is not God.
Unless God decided to have limitations because he is God and can do anything. God is a Trinity and one of that Trinity did come and be lower than the angels and be born a human being. Any limitations were self imposed although I don't see experiencing human life as a Godly limitation per se'. Christ could have done anything had he wanted but he choose not to do certain things because it was not part of the overall plan.
