Which he knew was about to happen and didn't stop.
Here's what I don't get, among many, many other parts of the bible. If he's omnipotent and omniscient, and we're all sinners, why not just forgive us? Why allow -- no, require -- your son to be tortured and killed first? I want someone to explain it to me like I'm in Sunday school in a way that makes more sense than "because the bible is a work of fiction written by superstitious men who were obsessed with blood sacrifice".
I answered the question. God is a narcissistic, sociopathic, spoiled brat. Any time he doesn't get his way, he throws a tantrum.
Dude claims to have given us free will, but will punish us if we actually use it.
Really, the biblical devil is a better God. Just look at Job.
My understanding is that humans have free will, so God didn't "require" his son to be tortured and killed. We coulda just not tortured and killed Jesus. But also, Jesus was such a cool dude he decided to absorb all of our evilness and die for it. But then God brought Jesus back because duh, he's omnipotent, he's not gonna let his son stay dead.
Now I kinda want to ask some hardcore Christians, hey, what woulda happened if the Romans didn't kill Jesus? Like what if they'd just left him alone and Jesus died at an old age peacefully in his own bed?
Eh, they'd probably say I'm going to Hell for asking questions like that.
