I don’t think anyone assumed Christ would have come down from the cross. I followed the discussion back to where the question was posed as a thought experiment. Perhaps I missed where someone answered yes.
It was assumed either way. My take on the subject was a definite “No” or “Sorry, can’t do that”.
“I followed the discussion back to where the question was posed as a thought experiment.”

Is it the assumption of Protestants that the Blessed Virgin brought the lack of wine to Jesus attention too early but some few minutes later was in fact the divinely appointed time for Jesus to begin his ministry?
