Q: How could we consider it as the ultimate sacrifice when god himself knew that Jesus would rise again after three days? A: Jesus is God incarnate -> Jesus (God) dies for our sins = God dies for his creation (which actually He can careless IF he wanted too) = "Ultimate(GOD)" Sacrifice ("God dying for His own creation, The Creator dying for his stupid creations" ;) 2: Q: “Why did god put the tree of knowledge in the garden?” A: Duh! He is God he can give you 3 eyes if he wants to, He can make AMy Winehouse or Kurt Cobain live again if he wanted to.. He's God! halller?!!! Q“Why did he create it (the tree of knowledge) in the first place?” A: He is God nga eh kaya He can do whatever He likes...duh!? 3. Can’t god think of any better (and more humane) way for human redemption? A: * He is God so He can do whatever He likes * Among He's creation, Humans are His masterpiece (He said it in Genesis that They (God, Jesus Holy Spirit= Trinity) made us from His image..therefore we are "little gods" practically. In the Old Testament, Cows Bulls and goats were sacrificed for the sins of His people in the Old Testament, Jesus died to show us stupid sinful humans His Love and His Judgement: His Love: Jesus (lived perfectly) BUT He died UNJUSTLY His Judgment: WE humans commited, "Cosmic treason and betrayal" Here comes God giving us ALL the freedom we NEED but then We still WANT things that He did not permit us to do..Just like a child who wants to play with a real gun or matches inside the House..look at it this way: your the child and eden is God's house and God is the father...He told us you can play with your PSP, PS3 or lego BUT NOT with the knives or matches....same thing in the Garden,,,He gave us ALL the freedom but still we disobeyed and for that we betrayed our good Creator therefore We are deserve death..but God is good, He still allowed us, His creation to continue existing, just like any good father, He gave us a chance to repent and turn back to Him, We sin and if we do not repent, I can surely say to you that you will be getting God's judgment... :) 1.

Romans to preferred strangulation, and impromptu backstabbings/executions by the Praetorian Guard and disgruntled members of senate as a way of getting rid of people they did not like ;) The hemlock bit was a Greek tradition.
