What purpose was the Christ Redeemer built?

Because the Roman Catholic Church is inundated with idolatry even though God strickly forbids it. Exodus chapter 20 lists the 10 commandments that was written on stone by God's own hand and brought down the mountain by Moses. Christ the Redeemer statue violates the 2nd commandment. In fact the RCC has completely 'erased' the 2nd commandment from the Catholic Bible and split the 10th commandment in to two parts so as not to come up short. Scripture makes it very plain what will happen to anyone that changes the word of God, meaning the bible.

What is so special about the Christ statue?

There are many statues of Christ but you are probably referring to the Christus statue.When looking at it I think that the artist who created such a beautiul statue left it up to the individual as to how they felt when looking at it. As for myself I see Christ as a loving father who is inviting me to come and be enfolded in His all forgiving arms. He is silently saying "Come my son and I will give you peace and rest. I am all forgiving and all compassionate. Let me wipe away your sins so that you may feel the warmth of my embrace. Feel the prints in my hands and feet and know that I am the Christ.


How did Jesus meet the qualifications of the redeemer?

What do you mean "qualifications of the redeemer"?! If by redeemer you mean the true GOD, there are none. HE accepts every one as they are, and JESUS is his one and only son. There are NO qualifications of the redeemer, accept to believe, and love in HIM.Qualifications as a redeemer.In exodus God told the Israelites to kill a lamb, a spotless lamb without blemish, and paint the blood on the door posts of their houses. The 'destroying angel' would passover the houses with blood on the door posts. Thus the Israelites were saved by the blood of the lamb from God's judgment. (exodus 12)Jesus is the lamb of God, spotless and without blemish/sinless, so meets the requirements as a redeemer. The death of Christ is the redemptive price, His sacrifice is the ransom paid for mans deliverance.
