The Christian Proselytizer Questionnaire #2 Why did Jesus have to die?

2. Explain why your god’s only son had to die so we can go to magic happy land when we croak.

That’s tough and I’m not sure I fully understand it. The concept I have is that God has a plan for us all. When we follow the plan, we end up in heaven. We all make choices and apparently nobody could pull this off. So God became human and, since he’s the creator, is able to pay for all the sins that ever did and ever will happen. A loophole is that it’s not just a free ride; we have to actually be trying to follow the plan. Jesus said that the plan is to always act from love.

Here’s the context for this post


What’s this then?

I've had a strange relationship with faith for as long as I can remember. My journey has gone from doing what I was told, to questioning, to doubting, to abandon, to wonder, to play along, to work against, to open up, to change, to embrace, to wonder, to doubt, to work towards, and to keep searching for better answers. Our various understandings of faith are deeply personal. Sharing those understandings can be very helpful to ourselves as well as others.
