What is special about Jesus?

Post #1

If we can agree that bulls and lambs are insufficient propitiations for our sins then what makes Jesus a sufficient propitiation?

Especially if you think Jesus is a created being then what makes one created being sufficient and another insufficient?

If he is a human then how did he pull it off to not sin for 33 years? Was Jesus created perfect?

We were playing for it all.
Oh. I thought you were talking about something real. Never mind.

Let's not disrupt my thread. It got to a crucial question.

But since we have - here is a good link on what we might be playing for. You never know the stakes really.

Do you regard a person born retarded as perfect?
