Reggie, why would God provide a bunch of different ways to Heaven and then kill his own Son?
I want to know what you mean by bunch of different ways!?
and then kill his own Son?
The Father did not Kill his Son!
There were two who wanted this mission!
Lucifer wanted to go but he also wanted all the glory and over throw the Father and he was going to use a plan simular to communism which means free will would be revoke!
Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of the Father also said he will to go and do the will of the Father and give all the glory to the Father!
In order to redeem us it had to be one who was perfect and was able satisfied the Justic Law or all would be lost!
