Some would say no one was responsible for the death of Jesus (except apparently himself, instigating it perhaps with Judas).

And this is what you accuse me of? You had no evidence but jumped on something you 'thought'...when I said He gave His life willingly - and HE DID! You should know this. Did we ask for Him to do this? NO! For no one knew - and still some don't - they needed a Savior - for they were 'right' in their own eyes - the religious.

But the fact that you're referring to "them"--doesn't that suggest there was a "them" about to do something/

What do you mean.... you're referring to 'them'? Please explain by referring to my post.

I repeat....He came to be The Sacrificial Lamb for ALL sins for ALL men - willing! Don't know why you have a problem with what I said.

I am well aware of The Good News - because HE lives I can face tomorrow and live with Him for eternity. Greater love than this, no man knows.

Uh, you said: "You don't think He could have smite them ALL in a NY second?"

Did you catch the "them" in your line, there? That is the "them" intent on killing him. Or were you suggesting Jesus just go around smiting people for the hell of it?

You also said "No one" took his life. I disagree.

Okay, let's quote a little scripture from Matthew: "And they crucified him and parted his garments..."

They. As in men. Not no one.
