Re: The Arrogance of Christianity
Indeed most of your points are quite true, and do not require any further comment.
I am assuming when you say "assuming Jesus existed" you mean Jesus as the son of God, as there is ample historical evidence that he did actually exist. All religious opinions aside, to deny the existence of the person we know as Jesus (whatever you consider him to be) is truly foolish.
While I would prefer to discuss the prophecy of Ezekiel in another thread, the issue of how only Jesus was able to die for our sins is in a way complicated. Simply put though in both the old and new testaments, it was God who provided the sacrifice. God provided Jesus to pay for our sins, as he was sinless.
The sacrifice must take the place of sinful man: Sin and guilt was imputed to Jesus. As the wages of sin is death, he had to die for us. But as our sin was imputed to him, he has taken that punishment upon himself, for people past, present and future. Praise the Lord!
I'm glad I could enlighten you.
God bless,
