Divine non sequitur.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45


Perhaps the greatest mystery of all theology is the unquestioning acceptance of the need for human sacrifice in order for man to live forever in paradise. Regarding Christianity, this makes no more sense than the story reading that Jesus transformed into a mighty oak tree in order to bestow man eternal salvation. One can argue divine, arbitrary fiat for such an action, but nothing else.
