.............. but you replied with the following instead of answering them.1. What is the "Good News" of Jesus that you are sharing with others right now, and why, as Tony's OP title asks, did He have to suffer and die when He came here? Why is that "Good News"?
Thanks

p.s. - BTW, the whole of humanity doesn't deserve to die because of our first parents' disobedience and sin, the whole of humanity deserves to die because we've all sinned personally, every mother's son of us.
I'd love to understand what you meant/what you were actually trying to tell us, and you choosing to answer the questions that I asked you will help me do just thatNo, humanity does not deserve to die
That is something Satan would say
You responded to a final point that I made in my post, NOT to any of the questions that I asked you (about the things that you'd just said/said you were doing). WhySt Worm2 said: "the whole of humanity deserves to die because we've all sinned personally, every mother's son of us"
And my response to that is No, humanity does not deserve to die
That is something Satan would say
I'm talking about the idea that humans choose between God and Satan on a daily basis
That makes no sense whatsoever to me and that's what I mean by letting us out and giving us a proper choice
Because really what is accomplished by having us go to sleep and doing it all again no matter what we do
And it's not free will if there are two choices with one being "right" and the other being "sin"
Because for example you can stay at home and fruitlessly try to find someone on dating apps or you could risk your soul by going to a bar
And as I have been told on other sites, God is not a genie so there's no point asking him
And why would anyone want to come to a planet where they ran the risk of "sinning" and "dying"
There must be some planet with no sin and attractive blue aliens. And if not then please make it so and transfer us there God
So you are making the claim that God and Satan both think we are deserving of deathYou responded to a final point that I made in my post, NOT to any of the questions that I asked you (about the things that you'd just said/said you were doing). Why
Nevertheless, I replied to what you said, and pointed out to you that it is the Bible that says such things, and that such things are NEVER said by Satan. It is, in point of fact, God Himself, in the first Person, that is, who says the very things to us that you are claiming only Satan would say!!

Yes but unlike some I don't pretend that it covers every single subject and adopt the ridiculous position that if it's not in the Bible it doesn't existYou've never picked up a bible and read it in your life have you?
Yep. So every decision that you have to make on a daily basis is a test. A test to see what you choose and if you choose the best way or not. Life is 10% what it deals you in the cards, and 90% how you react to it. So you have a proper choice. You can choose anything you want to. But is it within the will of God or not? That is the question.
Do you not understand that you are living in a damaged creation? That God is a just and holy God? God knows that as damaged as we already were that we can not do this by ourself. He came and died to pay the penalty for us so that we can live and learn and be redeemed. But we are so damaged that He can't just wave His wand and make everything perfect again without wiping our personality out completely. That's why the Sanctification process take place over a period of time. So when we get to heaven we will still be us with our individuality and personality.
You would only want God if He gave you a girl? That's pretty cynical.
See My take on original sin and follow up thereWhat's pretty cynical is saying we all deserve to die because two people ate from a tree and as a result we are stuck here
Yes but unlike some I don't pretend that it covers every single subject and adopt the ridiculous position that if it's not in the Bible it doesn't exist
Let proposition P1 = We are living in a matrix as in the movie The Matrix (1999).SO what's P1?
This sounds good. Jesus said:Once we commit to expanding God’s kingdom on earth, how do we go about doing that? There are many ways, I’m sure, but I will mention four important ones.
By genuinely loving and caring for others
By continuing to develop personally as followers of Jesus
By making a difference in the lives of the poor, marginalized, and oppressed, and
By sharing the Good News of Jesus"
What is the Good News?Incidentally the Good News of Jesus is not "you all deserve to die because two people ate from a tree"
Yes, that is something satan would say. But those who follow Jesus will not suffer eternal death.No, humanity does not deserve to die
That is something Satan would say
Let proposition P1 = We are living in a matrix as in the movie The Matrix (1999).
Between 0 and 10, how much weight do you put on P1?
Feel free to propose your definition of matrix.So that's something that was in the movie?
I must've been going for chip & dip when that part played. Can you explain it to me and jog my memory? Because I have no idea what you're talking about.
Feel free to propose your definition of matrix.
Let proposition P1 = We are living in the matrix.The matrix is a digitalprojection of what we call our reality.
