What If God Planned It Differently?

(This is the fifth article written on Christian Theology by a Muslim from the perspective of Christianity. This segment address the issue highlighted in the fourth article)

1. What is the fate of Christianity had God planned otherwise?

2. In other words, would Christianity exists or take a different form if the glory of God is revealed for example by His acts of guiding man towards the right relationship with Him rather than through saving man by offering His own incarnation in the form of Jesus Christ to Himself as a sin sacrifice?

3. Meaning what if God the forgiver of sin plan His glorification just by forgiving the repented without having to shed His own life and blood as His chosen sacrificial Lamb of God? What is the wisdom in the glory of killing the forgiver for forgiveness? Most importantly how did the sin of killing God The Son by man redeem the sin of man?

4. But who are we to question the wisdom of God? Irrespective of the question being hypothetical or not it’s a done deal. Not subject to contest. After all God is a perfect being. So His plan must be perfect. Why not just stick to His pre-ordained plan?

5. The pre-ordained God saving man plan is a savior worship plan. That is why Jesus Christ who redeemed the sin of man is exalted and worshipped to the extent that the faith is even named after him. Had The Holy Spirit redeemed the sin of man then the faith would not have been named Christianity. And The Holy Spirit would then be exalted and worshipped instead of Jesus Christ.

6. Then again God in His grace and justice planned it like that all by Himself. But what took The Son of God so long to come and save the sons of man?
