For me this is a digital question : either He was who He said He was, or He wasn't. Digital. Yes or no answer. Simple. So if we examine this case by case, if He wasn't then we don't really need to discuss it, right? Then skip the next paragraph. For the case where He was who He said He was, may I also point out that He could have stopped the crucifixion any time He wanted. But He suffered terrible wrong, right to the end, and didn't complain. Now hanging there with nails in your hands and feet HAS GOT to hurt. In other words, a lot of people were crucified but they did not have a choice to stop it. If they did they certainly would have. If He was who He said He was then He had the choice to stop it, but He didn't. I know I could not have done this, and you probably could not either. Why would He do this? There is a perfectly logical reason, but you won't find it written anywhere. Does anyone know what it is? BR Peter G. Thailand (PS. Sure sounds a lot different from the "Christians" who bomb innocent people in other countries for no reason). ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?
