does God need Jesus for us to be acceptable to him ?

simple answer---" yes "

before Jesus we have the verse ; none are good ; no not one !

now the complex answer

* Jesus existed before his birth from Mary
* Jesus had been to the earth before his birth from Mary
examples
--- the walking in the garden
--- talking with Abraham before the birth of Isaac
but later ; we have that verse ....
none are good ; no not one !

showing we are not acceptable to God at this point
so; what has changed?
answer ---> what Jesus did

the problem ; "genesis pre-flood"
and yes; there is a problem because this time period ends with a flood

original sin
adam and eve "ate" of the tree
but also --- 10 commandments they broke number one
no other gods before me
as they listen to the serpent ( eat) ; instead of God 's dont eat
they left the family of God at this point --- this is the problem !
this is what needs to be fixed !

we will never be acceptable to God ; until this problem is fixed *** and THAT is what Jesus does

ISSUES TO FIX THE PROBLEM
we next see time periods in the bible
each time period is marked by a woman
each time period presents an issue
each issue has no man that can qualify for it ; for all of mankind

GENESIS POST-FLOOD ; "TAMAR"- issue ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK
God divides mankind into seven divisions to show his story to serve his purpose in fixing this problem
Jesus will come into the world thru
SHEM ------------------------------------ NOT #1 JAPHETH
------------------------------------------- NOT #2 HAM
ABRAHAM ------------------------------- NOT # 3 LOT
ISAAC ----------------------------------- NOT #4 ISHMAEL
JACOB ----------------------------------- NOT #5 ESAU
these not's are the common people seen as the common ( barley loaves of bread ) in the feeding of the 5000
but there was also 2 fish in that story and they are used to present this story to the world by God
when Jacob is dying ; he does what has never been done before ....
he splits the family birth-rite promises that God has given to Abraham's family line
HIS BROTHERS lead by the sons of
JOSEPH --who become --NORTHERN TRIBES #6
JUDAH--- who become -- SOUTHERN TRIBES #7

* SHEM IS MELCHIZEDEK ; the above starts this order ; it is this order that is this story of how THE PROBLEM IS FIXED
but genesis post flood does not end before TAMAR enters the picture
she is from ESAU -#5 whose wife was the daughter of #4 ISHMAEL

JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND ; "RAHAB" --- issue THE LAW ( 10 commandments )
these 10 are NOT a do or dont list ; but rather a list of what mankind did in genesis pre-flood !
NO ONE gets into the promised land before "RAHAB" joins this group
and she comes from HAM #2

TIME OF JUDGES ; "RUTH"; issue KINSMAN REDEEMER
RAHAB has a son BOAZ
IT IS HE ; who kinsman redeems RUTH
and she is a Moabite
WHATS THAT ? that is the son of LOT #3 and his daughter
WHAT MUST A KINSMAN REDEEMER DO ?
If a man was so poor as not being able to pay his debts he was sold into slavery . However he could escape this only if he had a qualified KINSMAN REDEEMER. This redeemer would have to meet 3 conditions
1- he would have to have the price of the debt
2- he would have to pay the price
3- he would have to be of kin

DAVID, THE KING ; "BATHSHEBA" issue KINGSHIP
BOAZ & RUTH have a child ; Obed has a son Jessie who has 8 sons
? why DAVID and not one of the others ?
answer --- JAPHETH / BATHSHEBA
BATHSHEBA ( yes) is from JAPHETH #1
and when DAVID marries her ; this makes David unique
DAVID is the FIRST PERSON BORN after the flood kin to all of mankind ( 1-7)

THE PROBLEM IS PRESENTED
THE ISSUE ARE SHOWN
BUT -- no man can fix these issues to bring mankind back into the family of God ( KINSMAN REDEEM)
so what do we see here ? what happens next?

PROPHETS AND CAPTIVITY ( SLAVERY)
as the old testament ends ; the world awaits a savior ; a kinsman redeemer

NEW TESTAMENT
JESUS IS BORN --- into the ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK
JESUS LIVES -- and fulfills the LAW
JESUS DIES --- and pays the price and becomes THE KINSMAN REDEEMER
JESUS WILL RETURN --- as the KING OF KINGS

THE PROBLEM OF MANKIND --- LOSS OF FAMILY WITH GOD
THE ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED BY ONLY JESUS
MANKIND left that family by unbelief
ONLY BELIEF IN A KINSMAN REDEEMER can restore family again
if you dont claim JESUS as LORD -SAVIOR-KIN/FAMILY
then you not family of GOD

? WHAT ARE WE JUDGED ON? ( TIMES OF JUDGES --- FAMILY restored or not )

yes ; ONLY JESUS MAKES US FAMILY AND ACCEPTABLE TO GOD AS THAT FAMILY

Oh, I see what you meant. I thought you meant now...of course, I do see Christians that still are...they can't seem to shake some childhood input that they are worthless, stupid, unwanted, showing how powerful words can be esp when we are young.
They believe all the words of God's love, but still harbor such guilt,..so have a hard time accepting unconditional forgiveness and love...continuing with old thought patterns and secret self destructive habits. :[
I give them pep talks continually.

God did need Jesus because the wages of sin is death and we all had those wages to pay. But Jesus did not because He was sinless and consequentially righteous. Furthermore only a righteous man can/could die to pay for the sins of another sinner. Nobody was ever that righteous because all sinned and came short of the glory of God. The only real reason God needed Jesus, however, was because he loved us despite the hatred he has for the sin we commit. He otherwise could have sent us all to Hell and gotten along without ANY of us. God turned His back on Jesus when he was on the cross dying topsy the price of our sins because He found the collosal amount t of sin that Jesus was paying for reprehensible. So if God could live without Jesus for a few day how much more ought he need any of us?

Hi DiscipleofJesus :]...not disagreeing...with respect (I mean, wr, bbyrd....lol!)
What do you think about these?
I mean, what is a 'new' person to think coming into Christianity, let's say.
And thanks...

Ezekiel 18:20 "The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for
the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity;
the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself,
and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.


Then:
Psalm 49:7 No man can by any means redeem his brother
Or give to God a ransom for him.

What do you think about these?
i think a Scripture would clarify the point better, and i might comment after i read It.
God needing us to do something so that God can be happy is a perfectly acceptable pov to have for that person in that place, imo
also note that he is telling, but you are asking, yes?

We are self loathing before accepting Christ - adam and eve were self loathing after the Fall
i'm not sure ego works in this context, been thinking about it. i have some decent arguments against the first, as we can def see some self-loathing in many models after "accepting Christ," imo. And wouldn't the skin prevent A&E from self-loathing after "the Fall?"
