I'm trying to understand how the death of that which is temporal (and quite frankly just a bunch of minerals and liquid found on earth) has anything to do with that which is spirit, thus eternal?
The old testament had the Hebrews being commanded to sacrifice an animal because "there has to be the shedding of blood for sins", even though this blood wasn't even human, and wasn't worth anything, in hindsight, for doing anything for sins.
The new testament has Jesus becoming this sacrifice for the sins of all mankind.
But what matter is it if a collection of minerals and liquids (an earthly vessel) begins to turn back to dust, when it is the spirit of man which continues to exist for all eternity? Once a lifeform stops emitting that which we label as "life", it goes back to the elements on this earth, so how does the stopping of circulation and brain neuron function pay for sins, especially since it is in Christian doctrine that a soul who's sins are not forgiven still lives forever, just in a place of damnation?
See my next post, which is related to this one. That which is eternal, no longer given forgiveness?
