Many Christians believe that Jesus had to sacrifice himself in order to pay for everyone's sins and bring about an atonement between God and humankind. But some people wonder why God couldn't have just forgiven our sins outright, without requiring a sacrifice first. | Stigmata
Stigmata are wounds or skin blotches that match the wounds given to Jesus during his trial and crucifixion. Some people believe that they are a divine sign of a person's closeness to God, but others say that there are natural explanations. |
