Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’”

Why would an omnipotent and omniscient being be influenced by the human culture of the day? Isn’t it more likely that the people of the time created stories that fit with the culture of their day?

It was a message, makes sense to speak the language of the people you are talking to. If God just 4d time tesseracted instead people wouldn’t get it.

Get what? What is there for people to get? Either god forgives humanity or he doesn’t. Why does he need to kill something, which was a human fad of the time, in order to forgive? I forgive people all the time and I don’t need to make any sacrifices for the other person to ‘get it’. We just move on with life.

Ah my bad, I mean ‘get it’ as in ‘understand it’ not as ‘recieve it’.
