  Illustration:My daughter is kidnapped.I pay the kidnappers the ransom price to bring about the release of my daughter.End of story,not so fast.You see the kidnappers injected a deadly drug which they can remotely activate and kill her any time they so desire.The ransom released her from the kidnappers but she is still under the control of the kidnappers.Like wise the "so called ransom J.C. paid to release man" man is not.

  If the ransom J.C. paid to release man from death,why is it that man still dies?Oh,man is controlled by the so called drug injected by<><>(no free will)

  Yeah, maybe one of the Christians can answer this question. I don't see what value the ransom has if the wages sin pays is death. It only seemed to make sense if there could be some people who never died. Although it still seemed cruel to pay the ransom thousands of years in advance and let people keep dying in all that time.

  Oh here's another analogy the kidnappers tell you put the money in the trunk of a car that you will find on XYZ corner and in 4 days we'll bring your daughter back... So you put the ransom in the trunk of the car then on the third day you go and take the money back out of the trunk...

  On day 4 your not getting your daughter back because the ransom is NO LONGER PAID!
