The bridge story:
There was a big river, runs through the town, over the river bridge remains open most of the time,and the ships can cross, but it closes at other times, in order to pass trains on time.
The responsible worker for the opening and closing dates of the bridge used to accompany his only son sometimes to play in the middle of nature, while he is sitting in a booth high. To close the bridge in a timely manner in order to allow train crossing.
One day, as he sat, came a signal refers that the train is approaching , he pressed the lever which moves the electrically operated .. But the shock almost paralyzing him when he was discovered that it was disabled ... There is no other solution but he go down quickly, and move the lever with all his strength, so that the train can crossing safely.
Passenger's safety was in his hands, depending on the strength of his arm to keep the crane low down throughout the time of train transit .
He saw the train coming toward him quickly, but at that moment he heard a call, the blood froze in his veins, as he saw his son who has four years old, coming toward him over the train's bars, and he exclaims: "Dad .... Dad .. Where are you?"
The man was in front of one of the options ....... either sacrificing the whole train, and take away his son from the bar on the train, or sacrificed by his son for the safety of the train.
He chose the second solution ....... and the train passed safely ..... no one feels that there is a ripped body of a child thrown into the river .... no one knows the father, who was almost shocked, weeping his son and his heart broken of sadness, he was still holding the crane.
----------------------------------------------
I apologize for this painful story, but .. Do you feel distressed about this poor guy? Do you appreciate his feelings ??
Do you try to think of the feelings of God the Father ..... he sacrificed his only son .. ransom for the people on all over the world, for our salvation?
Did you understand why the sun was darkened and rocks cracked at time of crucifixion of Christ?
On the other hand .. Do you like this train passengers who do not know the price of redemption?
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".(Jn 3:16).

Daughter of the king, Thank you for your comment.
Dear, "Deep Feeling" Thank you for the reply, you will find the answer in the discussions.

Thank you for your answers.
1- You asked: "Why God does not solve human problems on the ground and live in peace, and heal all the sick and prevent problems?"
Does your question mean you don't believe in God's power?
My answer: God is wise and he has all the power to solve any problem, he is doing things for wise reasons. I'll tell you why there are problems in the world. First, who make the world live in lake of peace? They are people themselves! and you said: "God gave freedom for human beings and in the Day of Judgment will be the account."and "People commit sins because this is the nature of human beings, but there is also repentance, and God accepts repentance." So this is the people's choice, and If God solved all problems that people made then what people will be accounted for?! We can live in peace when people stop fighting. Secondly all problems are tests from God to see how people deal with it because we don't know the reality of what inside our hearts unless we face difficult situations, and these problems make us appreciate God's graces. For example, you don't know how much your health is precious till you lose it. In addition, if life was too easy then we will be judged for what?
God is fair and everyone will take his own penalty one day even if time passed.
2- You said: "Every human was'll go to hell if the redemption of man Unlimited did not happen."
This is a long topic so I wish you see this video it will help me to explain my idea to you.

I believe in Jesus's miracles and many prophets made miracles not only him, Moses has miracles don't you believe in it?
** Bible prophesied Mohammed's coming**

You asked many questions, I will answer in a nutshell. If you have other questions, please go to discussions, I will answer in detail.
1. The story likened code for how God loves man so that he gave his only Son, not intended comparison between God and man.
2- You said " God has the power; he doesn't limit himself between only 2 choices. God can solve anything by his power not by injustice decision."
Why God does not solve human problems on the ground and live in peace, and heal all the sick and prevent problems?
3- You said "God can forgive without sacrificing someone not responsible for our sins.
God told Adam not to eat from the tree, if he eat will going to die, Adam sinned, and the wages of sin is death.
Adam's sin is from man of limited addressed to God, who is not limited.
Every human was'll go to hell if the redemption of man Unlimited did not happen.
So God sent his only Son "the word", to die on the cross, and we convey to Paradise.
4- God gave freedom for human beings and in the Day of Judgment will be the account.
People commit sins because this is the nature of human beings, but there is also repentance, and God accepts repentance.
5- you said "why Jesus had beaten before the sacrifice!
Your question is very strange, Christ was arrested on charges of blasphemy against the Lord, unjustly
with false witnesses, was crucified, what would you expect to happen at that time?
6. You believe that Christ is prophet because you are Muslim and this is your faith , but I say to to you:
Christ is God, he can work the works of God; but any human being can not do it. He also must be different from the rest of human beings
1 - Christ can create; he creates the eyes of the blind as the gospel came. Quran also said he was creating birds of mud.
2 - Christ is the only one who wasforgives the sins of sinners. How forgive sins but God?
In (Jn 3:16) (1 Jn 2:12) When carried the paralytic to Jesus on the bed and they took him down from the roof of the house; when Jesus saw their faith he said, "O man, your sins are forgiven" You say, arise, and walk up thy bed,
He healed on the spot.
3 - Christ can be arise dead of death and give him a life.
He raised Lazarus from the dead.
4 - Christ's work of supernatural miraclescontrol of Nature and wind gag; he healed the sick, cleanse the lepers; cast out evil spirits and dominated them.
5 - Is the only one in this world who did not commit a single sin.
6 - Christ is the only one in this world who can raised himself from death; he is alive in the sky.
7 - Is the only one who was born of the birth of the miraculous; of the Holy Spiritwithout a father.
Is the word of God and the spirit of him; as the Bible and the Koran said.
8 - The only one who knew the unseen.
9 - Is the only one who will judge the world and reward each one according to his works.
10 - All the prophets of the Old Testament came
And prophesied the birth of Christ.
Is there anyone in the world has these qualities?
This man in your story is just a human (doesn't have the power), so you can't make a similarity between what he did and what God can do. God has the power; he doesn't limit himself between only 2 choices. God can solve anything by his power not by injustice decision. What Jesus did to sacrifice him? it's unfair to sacrifice him for our own sins and God doesn't make unfair choices. God can forgive without sacrificing someone not responsible for our sins. God can make new people if he want. God can make better choices than this. And if Jesus died for the salvation of our sins then why people still commit sins?? and why Jesus had beaten before the sacrifice! isn't enough to take his soul? I believe in Jesus as a prophet from God not a son of God and he came to tell us to worship only the one God.

Dear Barbare, Thank you very much for your nice words and encourage me.
Dear Leonardo
The story is an example of the process of redemption, to clarify how much God loves us so he sacrificed his only son for our salvation. Thank you for your comment.
