No. I get what you are trying to suggest. But remember suicide implies that you want to stop living. That was not Jesus' attitude nor His mood. He offered His life as a sacrifice to atone for the sins of the world and to accomplish the Infinite Atonement, which does not have the same motive as suicide. His motive was to help bring all of God's children - Jesus' spirit brothers and sisters - back to the presence of God, if we would only choose to repent and call on His name. He also had to be the first person to pass through the entire Resurrection process so that He could help the rest of the world pass through the process as well when the time came. It might help if you watch any version of "The Chronicles of Narnia" to get an idea of the Atonement on a simpler level. Or the Bible combined with the Book of Mormon would give you more information on how the Atonement was necessary.

Weird, the whole concept of God, religion and Jesus is weird, it’s all just fantasy imagination gone wild. The Bible is just a man-made play script, with several actors God, Devil, Jesus, Satan, Adam, Eve etc, and of course some intriguing imaginary places like Heaven, Hell, Purgatory and Limbo.
I certainly don’t believe in the Bible and I doubt any reasonably intelligent person would either. However, if you view the Bible as a man-made play script, with several actors God, Devil, Jesus, Satan, Adam, Eve, Noah, and so on, then you can certainly start to see a clever interwoven plot, that the audience is unaware of. It’s really just a drama thriller with clever twists.
You see, if you seriously think about it in an unbiased manner, then clearly the actor God in the Bible could really be the Devil, and the audience (religious believers) are being sucked into being the bad guys, who then use religion to get everyone fighting each other.
On the other hand, the more intelligent audience (Atheists) spot the plot and try their best to teach believers that this is just nonsense, stop getting sucked in. Some people have over time decided that the play is real. That's very sad.

Not really.
He asked HIS FATHER to let Him get out of it.
I know what you are thinking...Why didn't He just call down ten thousand times ten thousand angels...
Well then somehow the devil would have won, and our souls would not be saved by the blood of JESUS.

No!
In a strange way it was to be that Christ would be placed on the throne of Judea. If it were a perfect world.

No, not anymore than a man who waits for the cops arrests himself.
Jesus was destined to be sacrificed.

No. He subjected Himself to the will of the Father.
