God does not cheat

Did God really deceive the whole mankind by making them
believe that Jesus died on the cross, when he actually didn’t?
If we can find God acting deceitfully in one situation, what
guarantee could we have that he would not compromise
with his truthful character in other times, too?
If he did, He would not be the absolute truth anymore.
If He is not the absolute truth, then who is?
People try to reason against the crucifixion by talking about
the almighty character of God. “God cannot die.”
How could God say to himself ,” why have you forsaken me?”
Christians believe that God became like us so that we could
become like Him.
The same way as the incarnation was an amazing event in
man’s history, the death and resurrection of Christ is even
more amazing.
God did not ask for man’s permission to do this.
Man’s opinion could not have stopped him from saving man.
It’s obvious that if any of us were god, no people would
be saved. We would be so offended and hard on everybody,
including ourselves. Praise God I am not god.
The perfect humanity of God is the perfect solution for man.
Without it we would have lost our connection with heaven forever.
In Christ we are in again.
“For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ
Is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.”
I Cor. 15:16-17
