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.

I thought you understood what was meant. It refers to ANYONE that came against HIM, Judas included. He already knew and told Judas what he was going to do, as you know.

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

If someone 'takes' something, how can you 'give' it 'willingly'? So, I guess you don't agree that He gave His life willingly. And, therefore, have no concept of HIS LOVE. He would have given His life for even just 'one'. Man was righteous in his own eyes and His teaching showed how off base they were in their ways. Still prominent today because of man's sin nature.

Our Father in Heaven KNOWS what we need. And sacrificed His Son for ALL of our sins - past, present and future. Even the critical spirit of some that accuse you of following a Judas gospel.
