Either Jesus was the Christ or he fulfilled every prophesy in the Old Testament by accident and was insane.

"without a doubt the day that humanity was at its very worst."It might be argued that on that day on Calvary, humanity was at its very best, for only on that day was the perfect man imputed with all sin of humanity and judged, paid the penalty, and raised three days later as proof positive the debt to God for relationship with perfect righteousness has finally been paid.

It is true that God knew the crucifixion had to occur, and He sent His son for this purpose. This does not absolve us of the guilt for killing Him. I know that's not an easy fact to face, but the truth is that it's like any other sin: it, too, was dealt with once and for all by His work on the cross.
But do not pretend that you didn't have a hand in it. Christ was crucified from the foundation of the world as a sacrifice for every sin ever committed, being committed, or will be committed in the future.
The whole point of this is get us to realize how thankful we should be that even though Jesus went to the grave, he conquered it three days later. There is nothing you can do that is so bad that He cannot redeem you.
I simply can't believe we managed to take that and turn it into a theological debate.
