If God were real, (she, he) would be a homicidal manic.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. "For God did not send the son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. (John 3:16- 17) God made the rules, why would God so filled with love and grace, sacrifice his son to a horrific death, to pay for the sins he had given people? Ok i suggest i can of help my opponent understand God becuase he is kind of lost. Then i will defend myself more. First of all he states this ,"to pay for the sins he had given people?" God didn't just have a hand full of sin and throw it onto the planet. In fact as shown in Genisis God made the world and he saw that it was good. He didn't create the world for evil his purpose for manifesting the Earth was for good. Another thing to consider is what God wants us to do 1. Micha 6:8 - He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 2.Galations 5:22- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 3. John 4:22 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. There's many scriptures of course that descibe God's purpose for us but look at the last one. God wants us to worship him so this further disproves your claim that God wanted sin to be here. Also again what most people know who don't even believe in God and what i want you to know as well is that Adam and Eve caused sin to exist in this world. Because they ate from the tree Sin manifested. The punishment for Eve was of course the painful process that women have now giving birth. ALso they were baned from the Garden. Now to your next point which is really just a question for me to answer. That is psychotic. When your making the rules to your game, and one of them is to sacrifice your son. To expect a man to sacrifice his son to prove his loyalty. 1. How could this make sense to anyone? 2. How can people believe this is a wonderful thing, worthy of their love, devotion and worship? The DSM-5, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders is where you will find a more accurate description of God. Conclusion: God didn't want to give up his son. No one does ovboiuslly but becuase of Adam and Eve he had to. That's why religions that worship Adam and Eve are wrong. However you ask a question that actully is a good quesiton to ask. And i will answer it so you actully understand what you aredebating about. Why would god sarifice his son? Why would he do it for no reason isn't that ludicrous, isn't that crazy? Yes it is, the point however is God didn't sacrifice his son for no reason. 1. IF god didn't sacrfice his son we would all be going to hell because sin would continue to flourish. He sent JEsus cause of our sins. 1 Peter 3:18 - For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:Isaiah 53:5 - But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 2. In fact Jesus when ressurected even took away the keys of hell from the devil as shown in Mathews 12:40. The devil had the keys to hell and we were doomed for hell. 3. The last reason is one you might not have heard of. God sacrifieced his son to provide a sort of roadmap to make it to heaven. Repentence: God has offered a way for us to repent. WE now can say we are sorry for our sins and turn our life over to God. Baptism Baptism is not an option; there is no such thing in the Bible as a Christian who was not baptized. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Sub point A: You must be immersed in water Because Jesus was baptized by immersion Because every baptism in the Bible is by immersion Because that's precisely what the word baptism means Because it is the best portrayal of a burial and resurrection Sub point B: You must be baptized in Jesus name Every baptism in acts was performed in Jesus' name. THE DAY OF PENTECOST: Acts 2:38- be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins THE SAMARITANS: Acts 8:16- they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus THE HOUSE OF CORNELIUS: Acts 10:48- he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN: Acts 19:5- they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Conclusioni: All of this was provided beuase of Jesus Then the holy ghost Romans 8:14-16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. You know you have received the Holy Ghost by speaking in tongues. Scriptures for this= Isaiah 28-with stammering lips and another tongues Joel 2- I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh Acts 2- Jewish disciples on the Day of Pentecost Acts 10 Acts 19- disciples of John the Baptist Mark 16-17 John 7:38-39 Jesus didn't die for nothing. He died so we could have a way to heaven. God sent his son to spread the apostolic doctrine, his son taught us what was needed and he died so we could have a way to leave this planet.
