God has so many
laws and rules that He requires of the children of Israel in the OT. He’s pretty
specific. It’s kind of a natural rule that things that are really specific are very
important. God is trying to describe the one way that sin is paid for, what it
costs. Sin costs death. There is no way around it. You can’t buy, cheat or
steal your way around the fact that doing wrong things will kill you. I’m not
using that in anyway other than the literal way, “wrong things,” as opposed to
the right way to do it (the right way to: fix a car, run, play a game). You
must follow the right way according to the rules. The rules for living life are
built into life as we know it. For example, if you eat unhealthy and don’t
exercise, your going to get fat. You can’t deny it ,there are wrong ways to
live. If there are wrong ways, doesn’t that mean there is a right way to live?
If you know the right pathway through the forest, that means you know the
correct path.
We messed up, God is saying that something without blemish has to die.
If we want to have His true life, we need perfection. Israel can’t be perfect, we
can’t be perfect enough to be with Him. We need a representative for the entire
human race. God knows this. He knows that true life is only through perfection
we can’t meet. God decides to pay the price for us. God must be perfect to live
and give life.
That leads me to
another question that needs thought. Did God need something to die for Him? The
answer is No. For something to die and be really a real price for anything that
sins, it would need to be greater. Try to wrap your mind around this. I’m not
even sure I can. God has always existed like He is. Think of this, we know and
can imagine an absolute chaos, doesn’t that mean there is an absolute order?
God is that absolute order. He is perfect. He is the exact opposite of the
spectrum. It is very well understood that nothing can create nothing, 0+0 = 0.
Everything in existence is on a downward spiral becoming more disordered. The
only way to evolve (unless you live and think) is to de-evolve. Everything is
becoming less to reach a higher state of entropy. Every living thing becomes
less. Procreation is the “new” you but there is still DNA/ genetic junk passed
along. It’s a prolonged death of all of humanity. Eventually we’ll all die as a
human race, not evolve to a high state as the secular world predicts.
Christ
is God. God split into different parts all coequal, simply different roles.
Each can perform the others role just fine, they are God. Jesus was predicted
to come and die for all of humanity. You can find all of these predictions in
the bible written thousands of years before He came. If we call out to Him and
ask Him to be our representative, He will. That’s why He came in the first
place. He came to save us all from death!
Thank You
Father, You are the One, the Savior of us all!
