To suggest that God made his Son sinful so he can satisfy his divine anger is a preposterous deformation of Christianity.

Of course to our human view of justice it is preposterous, yet it IS what God chose to do because he so loved the world. He did not make Christ "sinful", he "made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (II Cor. 5:21) - yeah, Paul again, sorry. ;o)

Just one more thing, Kosta, you don't even believe in all this "Christian" stuff, why are you even in the discussion this way? Nothing else better to do?

Belief is not a requirement to be on this forum. I do know something about the Christian faith, the Bible, Church history, biblical Greek, etc., probably more than your average bear, so I see no reason why I should not participate in objective discussions of religious matters. I

Yes I realize that, but that's not how it is preseneted in the Gospels and the catholic and apostolic Church is based on the Gospels.

Kosta has as much right to participate in this discussion as any convential "Christian". (I have been asked the same question, even "invited" to leave the discussion so I may have a slightly more "Unitarian" perspective.) :-)
