So Jesus didn't have a choice?...He didn't have free will to make that sacrifice?

Atlantis001 The one without a name

Why one god ? What lead one to think that one god only exist ? Why not many ?

Actually, He does have. He can either disobey His Father's will or follow His own will. But He chose to obey His Father. That's why He said to His Father, "Your will be done".

That's how God's CHOSEN people call Him. The Israel called him Father. Christ and His followers called Him Father. So how can He be our Father? That's what God's messengers had told us to call Him.

Yes. The man was created in God's image. And that man was Adam. And also Eve. They had God's "image". They had angel's "image". In the image of God He created them. Male and female He created them.

So what 'image' was common to God the Creator, the angels, and the first men Adam and Eve then? That is being BLAMELESS and HOLY.

Adam and Eve had that special privilege since the very beginning. They even had eternal life.

But because they have sinned in the sight of God, they were cursed with death. Not anymore immortal. Not anymore blameless. Not anymore holy. Not anymore an "image" of God.

Yes. It only shows that man that God created has his own limitations. Though he had the "image" of God, man can still be deceived by the same evilries that God created. God did this so for Him to prevail over all things.

no it is the god man created that has limitation

Scriptures doesn't say they had angels "image"...Also, if god said he created them male and female in his image, that it could be construed that god is both male and female or that they're are more than one god?

To be in the image of god is not a physical thing...it's a living creative being with free will, and eternal.

The story was an allegory...God wouldn't give them free will and then punish them along with billions of people for eternity because they exercised it...How could they know what sin was, if it never existed.

Two ways of understanding the Scriptures: Human wisdom (learned by man) and Spiritual wisdom (given by God)

I don't need to elaborate things I've said about the "image" of God. 🙂 Truly, not everyone knows it.
