This is not a thread to discuss what the death of Jesus means for us - it's to discuss what it meant for him.
After reading some of the threads, I've been thinking about the death of Jesus. What in particular was meant to be so great about this act?
If Jesus is a representation of the christian godhead - So what? he's immortal and all-powerful and thus knows that fleeting moment has no real impact for someone beyond the reach of linear time.
If Jesus is a seperate entity - So what? Is there some suggestion that God will be sending him off to hell? As far as I can see, he knows that he off to sit in a big chair upstairs.
Where is the
real hardship in this? I just don't get it.
