  So Jesus prayed:
  "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing"
  (Luke 23:34).

  How must God forgive those who put Jesus to death when God required Jesus' death as the only mechanism by which He would or could forgive individual humans for their sins and grant them salvation?

  1 John 1:6-8 (NKJV):
  "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

  Romans 4:24-25 (NIV):
  "For us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification."

  Hebrews 9:28 New King James Version (NKJV):
  "So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation."

  The whole thing is stupid, it's just a passion play. I'm mean really god allows the murder of his first creation and a slow painful death at that all because a man several thousand years earlier chooses to eat a piece of fruit with his wife. This is the best God can do is kill his own son when he already passed three temptations by Satan, why not just die in his sleep? Anyway the Bible said Job was perfect so that kills the whole thing also Jesus said he didn't come for the righteous ones just sinners, so there were already righteous ones? The whole thing is a mess.
