Strange that someone believes with a whole heart that "In the beginning, God created heaven and Earth" ... yet disputes Christ as a part of His creation ...

Did all of mankind include the patriarchs and prophets? The Queen of Sheba and the repentant of Nineveh? And everyone else in Sheol who partook of Christ's resurrection? Were these the condemned you're referring to? Because these were people who lived after the fall and before the New Covenant.What do you mean, the sacrifice to the Father? The sacrifice of what? For what purpose?Was god choosing Jesus just; or should the Father have chosen the cross for himself?
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?

The purpose was to reverse god's condemnation of all of mankind.
It seems that god wanted to blame mankind for his creating us as the sinners we are.
IOW, god is blaming us for his own incompetence.

I’m not the one pretending to be something he’s not.No it’s not derailing the OP.You claim to be a Gnostic Christian, right?Was god choosing Jesus just; or should the Father have chosen the cross for himself?

Are you discussing the God that Gnostic Christians believe in?
Because it’s really hard for me to reconcile your Gnostic beliefs with what you are posting.
Why don’t you tell us about the God you allegedly believe in?
That would be derailing the O.P.
If you are really interested, which I doubt, open an O.P., invite me, and I will be pleased to educate you, if you go out of character and actually try to have a discussion instead of your usual garbage.
If not, just keep playing with your ding a ling.

Whose God are you discussing? The Gnostic Christian God?
Did he choose Jesus? Is that the god I quoted?
Seems we are already done and you want me to do more with a troll like you. You know what you are and that is why you did not start an O.P.
Seriously, are you that stupid?

My fairy tale is more interesting than yoursOn the contrary, signs of God are much more prolific since the Cross than they ever were before the Cross (except in the Garden (no sacrifices in the Garden, i.e., before man fell; no sacrifices in the church, i.e., since his redemption)).I choose to posit that Jesus gave his life to kill the old testament God. That would explain how no sign of God or any God-like intervention has been credibly witnessed or described by anybody since biblical times. They're both dead. Their power may still exist, but those 2 are never going to show up again.Was god choosing Jesus just; or should the Father have chosen the cross for himself?

You may think that the transformation of the world from one of shrines and temples to one more cruciform in shape has been the work entirely of man, but those who did the transforming would beg to differ.

God is a spirit. You cant put a spirit on a cross. Jesus being his "son" was the spirit becoming flesh in the form of a man. Though Jesus was the son of god, he also represented the "Father" He did say in scripture, "he who has seen me has seen the father" .... in other words, in some respects it was God himself on the cross, bridging the gap between the spirit world and the temporary world of man.

Could sin not have been remitted under the Old Covenant? Did the blood of animals serve no purpose? Did these creatures die for nought?
Christ's sacrifice was a blood sacrifice once for all. Man was sinful even in the Garden; hence his forsaking God for other deities.
Jesus was a sin sacrifice, not the scapegoat. No sin is imputed to the sin sacrifice, all sin is imputed to the scapegoat. That Man of Sin is the scapegoat. Of course, both the sin sacrifice and the scapegoat are spotless Lambs without blemish. (ref: Lev 16).
So you believe that Gnostic Christians don’t believe in a supernatural God?Did all of mankind include the patriarchs and prophets? The Queen of Sheba and the repentant of Nineveh?

But in their worldview the two Gods still exist.
Many deists have had a hard time reconciling their beliefs of a creator to a personal God.
Personally I don't see how it can be any other way. Looking back I can easily see how God has worked in my life. I can also easily see why others miss how God has worked in their life because they are looking for the wrong thing.
You tell me.So you believe that Gnostic Christians don’t believe in a supernatural God?

Because if I google what Gnostic Christians believe I find that they believed in two supernatural Gods.
How many supernatural Gods do you believe exist?
Because if your answer is none, you’re an atheist, no?
