And you personally know this how?!
How well did that line of thought work out for Jesus Christ? As I recall he didn't fear any man either and looked what happened to Him, by men.
Christ went to the Cross COMPLETELY of his own volition. He was in complete control of the situation.
What a ridiculous statement! Let your life be threatened and stand in a war zone... see if you aren't affected. Of course he has to have protection...so did Billy Grahm and others who have threats against them. It goes with the territory.......I suppose you also think we don't need the military or a police force if we're Christians. Sheesh!
Oh yeah. He laid down on the makeshift cross and nailed those spikes into his own body and then somehow managed to upright that cross and place it into the hole in the ground all by himself.
Don't be a doofus.
No, he knew he had to be rejected by Man and sacrificed to atone for Man’s Sin. YOU and I whipped Christ, and drove the nails into His Hands.
Palestine was the name given to Israel by the Romans when they demolished the Jewish state. It was derived from the name for the Philistines. The Romans changed the name purposely to destroy the memory of Israel for ever. But there was always a remnant of Jews in Israel even after the Roman destruction of the Jewish state.
If the Israelis wanted to commit genocide on the Palestinians, they would have done it a long time ago and there would be few if any Palestinians left at all.
