If he died for us, why couldn't he lives for us instead?

I can walk you through it, but you better be ready for a long walk...

Now tell me God Father, just tell me what it is about this whole concept that you don't understand..........Have you ever read the bible? (not being sarcastic, just trying to find out where to begin with you) Be nice we might throw some frubals your way.;)

From a Muslim perspective, God does not need anybody to die for our sins

He forgives directly to those who repent, as He is a Merciful and forgiving God

He did both. He lived his life as an example of how we should live. And that got him in trouble with the authorities, which got him killed.

I don't believe that Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins. He died the way that Gandhi and King died. They did not choose to die, but they chose to live for justice and love, full well knowing that it might cause their deaths. In that respect, they died for us.

No, I'm not Christian, but I know many Christians who would say the same thing. It was Jesus' message and example - ie, his life - that was/is salvific, not his death. If he had lived and taught to a ripe old age, as the Buddha did, and was not crucified, he would still be the Christ.

Jesus stated that it was the greatest expression of love, and God is love.
It is His seal in His blood that we will be forgiven our sins. For Muslims and Jews who believe already that God forgives your sins, God bless you but I have heard of both Muslims and Jews who had problems believing that God would forgive their sins.
The death of Jesus also is paired with the resurrection. By dieing and rising He made certain that we would understand that life does not end when the body dies.

Actually He will do that when the New Jerusalem comes. In the meantime this world tends to execute the divine so there is no safe place for Him.
