Why Did Jesus Have To Die

The Problem
Personally I’ve never heard the question asked out loud but I have asked it of myself. I would find myself looking at scriptures and from an early age the question that was at the forefront of my mind was ?Why??
Not the ?why?? of life or the ?why?? of pain (although these questions did come up). But Why the death of Jesus? Why did He have to suffer and get crucified?

Surpassing Mediocrity
Nobody’s Perfect.
We live in the age of mediocrity. No longer are there absolutes, there are only opinions. No longer are there standards, there are individual convictions. Few have truly decided to understand that there are no shades of gray. In the perfect brightness of the Lord our God there is black and light. Nowhere in the Bible does it speak of reproving the works of grayness and nowhere does it mention living in the gray.

Are you judging me? (Part 2)
Reynaldo Reynoso (admin)
In the furtherance of our understanding of Biblical judgement, we find that our logical thinking begs a question.
Well said, you may say, we are to judge but according to a proper scale and first working on ourselves. But, the critic may wonder if I am ignoring a fact that what Jesus was talking about was the obvious and not judgement. “Judgement is finding out someone?s worth” the critic may add. In fact, some others may add, there is so much danger in this that Jesus emphasized in the book of Luke (the same Sermon) not to judge.
And it is an honest question: How does a person judge the heart of another?

Are you judging me? (Part 1)

Recently, I followed a link into The Christian Forums. That stray click has left me lost from The Bible Archive for several weeks. After being submerged in various arguments for this time, I’ve grown tired from my lack of sleep and find that I must post some of this in the Archive. I would normally put this in the Admin’s Notebook, but it stood apart from my usual ramblings.
It has been stated, in different settings and different ways, that a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ as fulfilling Christ?s prescription to love one?s neighbor, that one is not to judge others. What has been used to support this are the very word?s of Christ Himself when speaking to His audience He told them that “Do not judge each other!”
