Re: If you accept this as universal morality, you will reject God.

If you had Gods power to set the conditions for atonement, would you step up yourself or would you send your child to die?

I say its God trying to relate to His creation and trying to get the creation related to Him.

Its like a human relating to a dog, you have to step down to their level to get any connection.

The same with an adult relating to a child, you have to step down to their level to communicate with understanding.

The same thing with God and mankind.

Matthew3:3
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,

Mark1:3
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness,

Luke3:4
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,

John1:23
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,

How would you like it if you had children who completely ignored you?
I think you would be a father crying to the wind in the wilderness with no one to listen to you.
