Jesus never trod that path

I think you are wrong, my FRiend. In fact, I think that if Jesus never trod that path, his entire life would have been utterly pointless.

You accept that Jesus allowed himself to exist in the human condition, right? With all it's joys and sorrows, right?

ALL.

He's Divine, dude. He doesn't need your experiences to get to your level of suffering. All he needs to do is get into a human body, and ask God to give it to him.

And he DID.

Why do you think he literally sweated blood in Gethsemane? What kind of suffering would it take for a Divine Being, someone who knows he's literally God, to cry out in such agony that he says "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

You know what I think? I think if you experienced one second of what Jesus took on, you wouldn't suffer - you'd vaporize into a fine red mist.

IMHO, of course.

Happy Easter! (and I mean that with genuine good will!)

He doesn't need me to get to a point ... I need to get to a point.

God is not willing that any should perish.

I am remarking to the title of the thread, not the theology.
