Editing Purpose of Jesus' death (section)

== This page asks why God has allowed to kill Jesus. ==
There are many answers to this question, but most of them have certain deficiencies. For example: the answer "Jesus was punished for our sins instead of us, so that God could satisfy His wrath, so there are no more reason to punish us." has the following deficiency: It lacks an explanation why God needs to punish somebody, why God considers OK to punish Jesus instead of us; moreover this looks as an urgent injustice to punish not that person which sinned.

Having believing Bible that God allowed Jesus to die instead of us, we nevertheless need to construct an explanation which fits our minds and does not look like a contradiction.

There is a good article on this topic. This article explains various existing explanations of Jesus' death, giving pro and contras for various explanations.
