Was god choosing Jesus just; or should the Father have chosen the cross for himself?

[Gnostic Christian Bishop]

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?

No, I wouldn’t sacrifice my child and circle of life, as far as who goes first.

You show better morals than Yahweh and Christians.

Good.

Some days people make me wonder if morals are nature or nurture. It’s more than less people are born without a moral compass.

Nature gives us a moral template that we follow when young.
Only later does that good start become corrupted by rearing, politics and religions.

This science proves that.

Jesus was an important figure in the early development of socialism, and his followers tried to fit him into existing thought-patterns, but we don't have to. Getting into gods and theology may have an intellectual attraction for some, but does it really take us far forward.

Secular law has learned the lessons that the religions, at their best, want to teach us. The religious have not taken their own good advice.

That is why secular law has shown us the deficiencies in the laws of the gods and why few religions lobby to have their law as the law of the land.

I agree with not having to pigeon hole Jesus anymore. If we try to it does not work as many of his moral tenets are not moral at all.

I often ask Christians to debate those poor moral issues but they always run away.

Plenty of people have sent their sons off to die in war.

You are saying they were unethical?
