Religion. A pox on all their Houses.
Your scenario is based on some false assumptions.
Your proposition is based on the assumption that an angel could do that without violating God's ways. But you have no reason to assume that. Biblically we know reincarnation as a concept doesnt exist for created beings such as humans or angels.
You mistakenly assume an angel is beyond sinning when subject to the temptations of being in mankind's body. It was satan who sinned and led 1/3 of the angels to sin. Only God Himself is guaranteed to be beyond sin.
Your statement is irrelevent because it is based on a false assumption: the assumption that God did what he did to "prove satan is a liar". I don't know where you are getting that from but you won't find that in the Bible.
It's also wrong in another way because of your false assumption. God wasn't forced to save mankind for any reason. He chose to, because he wanted to, out of love.
You have a mistaken assumption that God's actions can't be loving unless someone else could take his place because you have a wrong assumption about God's motivations and "need" to do what He did.
Hi.
1 I really think that you are just injecting semantical and theological issues into the senario so as not the examine the underlying point of the excercise, (Not just you but all the trinitarians who've responded so far). High level objections are being shoehorned in so as not to answer the basic simple question proposed.
Namely.... Was it GODS life or a perfect HUMAN life that lies at the bottom of whatever cockamamie attontement theology structure you build on top.
2 . YOU SAID........You mistakenly assume an angel is beyond sinning when subject to the temptations of being in mankind's body. It was satan who sinned and led 1/3 of the angels to sin. Only God Himself is guaranteed to be beyond sin.
Ok this is good it get's us somewhat along the path i want to explore. The choice of the word GUARANTEED is very interesting. It seems that God had to stack the deck in your opinion. He could not trust a SINGLE creation, not even Angels who had stood against satans rebellion of remained faithful. Their seems in your opinion to be something intrinsically wrong with Flesh. Even though at the end of the story living faithfully in the flesh is what seems to be restored as the eternal purpose of mankind.
Guaranteed......... If their was NO POSSIBILITY of failure then how is anything accomplished?
3 On the rest of what you wrote.....
"Prove satan a liar" is founded in...... "YOU POSITIVELY WILL NOT DIE" That's pretty foundational. But most forget that the First issue is God's honour and Sovereignty. "Salvation" is a consequence of how The Father chose to deal with satans rebelion. It's a two birds with one stone thing. But the heavenly challenge is the bigger bird by far.
It seems to me that if God was the only one who could do it then he was obligated to take on the job, otherwise his creation of mankind would have come to nothing and would have been a manifest mistake.
Peace.
