    If he forgave everyone for no reason, then there’s no justice and sin goes unpunished.

    If someone damages your car and you forgave them for it, would that mean there’s no payment? No, you’d pay for it yourself. So God paid for the price of our sin Himself.

      If someone damages my car and I want to forgive them I don’t have to spill blood to do it. I could simply choose to not call the cops or whatever.

        You’d still have to pay for the damage though, which is the cost of your car being damaged. Meanwhile, the cost of our sin is death.

          I don’t see how you can believe God is omnipotent while also being utterly incapable of choosing to not punish people without killing his son. All the metaphors you make break down because it’s all god in control. God chose what is and is not a sin. God is the one punishing for breaking those rules. But suddenly God is incapable of choosing to not punish people without literally murdering his son? And God sends people to hell for the “sin” of not “accepting” this “forgiveness” when he could’ve just chosen not to punish us? God subjects people to an infinite amount of suffering for a finite amount of wrongdoing? Possibly even the only wrongdoing of not accepting him if you otherwise followed everything? Even if they literally never even heard of God?

          If God is real then he’s psychopathic.

            God paid the price Himself. How’s this psychopathic? How could a perfect being exist in a perfect realm with people running about committing atrocities?
