1Peter 1:20 0 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

Chose here means Jesus being chosen to be the messiah and sacrifice to the Father. It also means the Father, --- and Judge in this case, --- deciding to demand and accept what is synonymous to a bribe.

That is an evil act to most people.

If you were the god you are to emulate, would you send your child to die or would you step up?

Should sons bury fathers or should fathers bury sons?

Is that really "burying" him?

It would be more like sending your son away to summer camp, and then he comes back.

The new "Jesus" is Donald Trump.

He has "great and unmatched wisdom".

I agree.

Not to Christians though.

Yes he does.


Of course the reality is that he might well be the dumbest president in history.

He without a doubt the most immature twit in U.S. political history... and sits as an indictment against the so called 'greatness" of the USA and clearly points out the stupidity and/or willful ignorance of both his followers and the GOP, who somehow believe that he is their savior.

and the country, as a whole, that elected him isn't overwhelmingly bright.

There is a tendency to underestimate the number of stupid people who vote.

Stupid people, as a group, are far more powerful than any major organization.

Without leaders, organization, or manifesto they opperate with great effect and apparent coordination.

So, on the topic of "god choosing jesus"...


To be fair, based not he dogma god and jesus are one and the same.


That is, there is god as the over all one and only god.... Then there is the division of god into three entities: the father, the son and the holy spirit. These three parts of god are in fact the one god.

So, in "picking" jesus for sacrifice god essentially selected himself. (Way over simplifying it) the idea is that god took a part of himself and created "it" in a human form, so that god could experience the human condition (including sin) and thus be sacrificed to save all humans (or at least the one's willingly accepting the salvation).

Now, there are a lot of flaws to that entire set up... and 'it" has caused a lot of confusions in christians (both in general and in relation to the various christian sects). None the less, it is essential to understand that "jesus" is actually a part of (or manifestation of) not "the father but rather a manifestation of god in "his" unified totality.

So, asking if "the Father have chosen the cross for himself?" doesn't really make any sense.

God did in fact choose himself... "he" chose a specific manifestation of "himself" to accomplish a particular mission... goal.

_____________________________

Of course the entire thing is standard mythological motif, so beyond the metaphorical it is nonsense that has confused "christians" for the better part of the last 2000 years.

A starting point might even be:

> Why would an infinite god be limited to only three (3) aspects of "himself" in which to manifest "himself"?

OR

> If "god" so loved the world (i.e. humans) Why did he have to create three manifestation of himself, then have one (i.e. the father) have to impregnate a human woman to create a male child, which had to be sacrificed by some humans in order to offer salvation to all humans?

One would think that a infinite all knowing all powerful perfect god, would be able come up with a similar solution to the problem.

The problem being, of course, SIN


..."sin" which god created in the first place.

_____________________________

Honestly, the reincarnation idea makes much more sense... that is:

>>> You stupid humans are going to keep living in anguish, despair and suffering, over and over and over again... until you figure out how to use your freewill and god given brain to behave yourselves, at which point you will get to come home to the peace, love and light that is your god...

etc.


(Sorry... way over simplified all that.)

You won't catch me praising the Democrat party, but to be both fair and honest about it >>> Americans let it all happen.

Of course that doesn't excuse conservatives and Republicans being stupid enough to believe the complete idiocy that comes out of Trumps' mouth and from the tips of his fingers to Twitter.
