It seriously cracks me up that people talk about Jesus's "amazing sacrifice" with awe in their eyes.

The dude was the son of God, what a lucky mother fucker. He got to drink wine all day and hang with his bros, and yeah, he died, but he died KNOWING that heaven was real and that he was the ruler of heaven. That doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice to me.

Also the only human in history ever to be crucified apparently, and because he died we don't have to suffer anymore :neckbeard:

He tried to miracle himself away, that's why he asks why god forsake him or whatever.

This. Jesus just started some poo poo in a temple knowing he would get the gently caress off this poo poo planet sooner than later. Greedy oval office.

this is such a bad understanding.

the passion was that god left him in that time.

that's why he says "father, father, why have you forsaken me?"

ont he cross, jesus lived in doubt. he was no longer certain he wasn't just a crazy person being crucified for nothing.

surprise twist: he was just a crazy person being cruficied for benothing, but his friends later added some pretty good "extended universe" stuff that rally took off.

he got off on pain and there is no pain im heaven, they dont write about it but the whole time they were nailing him up he had a raging hardon and pontius pilot was like "woah dude, put that rattler away, were tryin to punish you" and jesus just kept moaning. all in all pretty awkward way to die

Jesus' death on the cross was needed in order to solidify gods new covenant with man. That is to say, to change the paradigm from strict adherence to orthodox rules to salvation through grace.

The better question is why do we think of Judas as a traitor? He was depicted as Jesus' most loyal disciple, and the crucifixion was pre ordained. I think it is far more likely that Judas was the only disciple who would honor a request from Jesus that would lead to his death.

Sorry, you're correct that the term "Gnostics" actually covers a wide range of beliefs I was just speaking in v. broad strokes.

This only applies if you're Jewish though. If you're a gentile you have to follow the rules laid down by Paul.
