Yes I believe as humans we are pretty stupid. I mean how many years of war do we have to have before we realize that it solves nothing. It doesn't matter if you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Shintoist, Buddhist whatever, violence only engenders more violence and achieves nothing lasting. Violence, whether it is physical or emotional, direct or indirect, verbal or non-verbal, only serves to accentuate self-thought superiority.
Just to clear the air, I will state here and request that you remember this if you continue reading, I believe one hundred percent (100%) in the Bible. I do not expect you to do likewise, I know it took me about thirty (30) years to understand it so I am only asking you to remember how I feel while you read this.
I do not consider myself Christian nor Muslim nor Jewish, though I believe in the same God they all claim to worship.
I believe that it is improper to separate the bible into two books IE. Old Testament and New Testament. The Bible is incomplete without both collections of Scripture but they serve to make up the entirety of Gods' communication with man. It is for this reason that in order to understand it, I feel that you must treat it as what it claims to be, inspired by God and absolutely true. The Bible tells us that Jesus or The Word is the only begotten son of God. As I understand this Jesus is the only one in all creation that was created directly by God with no other creation involved. The rest of creation, both Heaven and Earth were created with the companionship of the Word. The Word or Jesus, was created the moment God spoke all else was created by God as he spoke.

It was this very Word that was the progenitor of Mans' downfall by drawing the line in the sand beyond which mankind was not to pass. As such, it is righteous and fitting that the Word be the Savior of mankind. It is also righteous and fitting that God himself be the one who chooses what will be sufficient to pay the price of Mankind's training and ensure that it will never be needed again.
