It's the only way the debt could be paid and humanity restored. He could have just let us perish and end the race of man...I wonder if He ever thought of that...

1) If he was wrong about being the Messiah, then he would not have died for all mankind.
2) If other people were wrong about him, then he would not have died for all mankind.

Why does an innocent man need to shed his blood so that others can simply say "I'm sorry" yet continue in the sin you claim is abolished.

He was part human, and like any of us He had the power of choice. That's a huge part of what makes His sacrifice so incredible... He wasn't a powerless victim. At any and every moment, He had the power to stop the torture, to get Himself down off the cross, to strike dead all who would dare treat the Son of God so. But He didn't. He was a *willing* sacrifice. Every second that He suffered, He permitted it. Every insult, every pain, He allowed, because it was for us. He *could* have refused to. He had that power. But He didn't.

when Jesus died it was a gift from God, the only reason God wanted to do this was love
